VAIL SUCKS

[BenedictGomez]

Bene is still new, putting on his best "I'm a local and know everything" suit on.

I said that I repeated what I heard a few others say, and I also literally simultaneously stated that I specifically don't know if it rings true or not.

But sure, do your troll thing. Or get a hobby (and a life).

They dont mean "fake" interlodges, but meaning that with the increasing traffic snarl (you yourself have said it's getting worse and worse) it's leading to increasing risk of potentially earlier interlodge calls for safety reasons in that with even more people on the road = more risk. As I mentioned, no idea how much (or if any) of that is true or not or whether there are perceived or real legal risk considerations at play, just parroting what I've heard. Sounds like you dont believe this is a thing, but at least for the few who mentioned it, their fear of getting stuck seemed real.

From my POV nothing has changed.

You mean that in the numerous times Rob K has said that one of Vail's goals to the grow the sport via getting groups of folks into the sport that typically haven't been in the past (queue up the images as he's saying this of inner city folks of a diverse background), is just a smoke and mirrors thing?

Frankly I am suprised that none of the big mega passes have partnered up with the Big Snow/Snow operating folks who have put in place a plan, that thye ARE taking to many small feeder hills to really make an attempt to get more people into the sport, at an afforadable price point. Joe Hession and his crew have a strong vision for growing the sport and seem to be backing up their talk

Joe has something going - BS to Mountain Creek and soon a few other resorts on a pass....Read about it a couple of weeks ago
