Chelsea Handler, who owns a home in Whistler and is normally enthusiastic about the resort, posted an IG story blasting Vail for the ops at W/B this year.
Among the complaints were a noticeable lack of grooming, messy bathrooms, and lifts closing earlier than posted times. Not a good look for one of their flagship resorts, and ones I don’t blame on local management who are doing the best they can with what they are provided.
IMO, these types of issues all point to reductions in payroll, which is not totally surprising given Vail’s recent performance. However, continued cuts will only worsen the erosion of market share as skiers choose to go elsewhere or do other activities.
