I have a local "bump" that only 20 minutes from my house. I may have hit it once every 3 years!

I'd love to have Roundtop 5 minutes away. They had some nice bumps when I was there.
At least I can ski year round indoors nearby. Terrain park definitely adds to the enjoyment factor (at least until I hurt my old ass).

RT truly is a gem. I mean its still southcentral PA skiing on nearly 100% manmade snow, but its got some entertaining terrain. And while Vail and megapasses in general have their negatives. I can't complain about being able to use my pass locally and across the country and even internationally.

Well that changes everything. Maybe I'll have to stick with Vail.

crumbs everywhere.
They're probably all of the Nature Valley Bars they didn't sell this past season (especially at Jack Frost where they supposedly removed all of the tables from the lodge). If you win make sure you check the expiration dates before you bite into one and break a tooth.

I actually cracked a tooth a few weeks ago with an olive pit that was hidden in a salad. If I bought that from Vail I would have considered suing after this year's treatment.

So I gather the "evil empire" is offering a 100% credit of price paid this year to be applied to next year's pass for those who did not use this year's pass at all due to Covid and/or Travel restrix.

seems to be a bit more nuanced than that. you needed to have a priority day reservation that went unused or some such. if you didnt make any reservations bc of quarantine rules (and also didnt use the pass), you seem out of luck.

Strange.
Those who ski elsewhere because they didn't want to see their pass money down the drain is out of luck, even if they ski one day

Was this an email, letter or online somewhere?
Didn't find on Epic website or Facebook.
That’s interesting

I received the email at 6pm today. Psyched that I will be receiving 100% credit ... I forgot to cancel my 10 priority reservations at Mt Snow, and had been convinced that Epic would count those 10 days against me in the event of refunds. If I had done the right thing and cancelled (freeing my spot for someone else), I would be SOL. Seems totally unfair to those who did not make any reservations at all.

Amazing how a 100% credit to some that they had no obligation to offer at all gets spun as being "totally unfair" to those who don't qualify for it.
I didn't ski in VT this winter. It was due to my own scheduling and not the rules. I used the pass plenty in NH and don't expect a credit. Good on Vail for hooking some folks up though.

it is unfair. and its splitting hairs. did you use your pass 0 days should be the only qualifier. they are very intentionally trying to avoid giving the credit to a portion of their customer base who didn't go skiing, because they didn't make a reservation? if i were in that boat i'd be pissed, especially if i was not making the reservation because i believed to be doing the true and right thing about public health guidance.
