VAIL SUCKS

They certainly obfuscate their pass sales numbers by counting pre-sold day ticket packs (the Epic "Day Pass") as season pass products.

Intentionally. There's no way possible to break them out, which is not a bug, but a feature.

Some of the scanners can tell the height of an individual and will trigger if someone is too tall for a kid pass.

Last week the 3 of us (me, wife, kid) went through Red Pine Gondola at the same time. The scanner confused the sounds and though my 5'5" wife was the one making the "Scooby Doo running" sound and pulled her out (it was actually my 5 year olds pass making that correct sound). Like I said, they literally get paid extra for every person they catch.

“THAT’S RIGHT. NOBODY IS STEALING FROM ME. RIGHT TROOPS?”

Maybe lay off Rob for a bit. His wife just died. https://www.davisenterprise.com/obi...cle_25aced92-011a-11f0-ad4c-5b1be57a303d.html

How is Brekenridge skiing? Hitting Beaver's closing day tomorrow as we arrived in Avon tonight, then I think Vail Monday, then rest of week we're staying in Breck.

Kind of shocked how much less snow there is here in Colorado then there is currently in Park City, so a bit worried. LOL

Breck is skiing great. Tore off a binding just before lunch, so that's a bit of a pain. Nothing out of the ordinary for me though. Got my wife's skis to use for the rest of the day.

We went to Beaver Creek yesterday, had a great time.

I'll send my number in a dm in case you want to take some runs. We're here all week but doing some vail and abasin too.
