Took some video of Sunrise Gondola running yesterday.
I presume by law they must run for x hours or x consecutive days before loading customers or why else would they run this on an early October afternoon with no people?

Seems a bit excessive of a break over there. They could have designed it so the upper tower is a little uphill and the lower tower is a bit more downhill making the transition a bit smoother.

WTH? That is beyond weird.
Basically his family just gets everything for free, meals, lessons, equipment, clothes, lodging, Brazilian waxing..... etc... It's just a bad look and really dumb given how trivial it is versus his total comp.

I imagine it's because they wanted the gondy base to be smack dab in the middle of the hotel & retail plaza.
That's why I turned and spun around in the video, so you could see how it loads right next to lodging, retail, restaurants, etc.... It reminds me of how the Eagle Bahn gondy goes right into Lionshead Village at Vail if you're familiar.

Mount Snow Child Care moves to 'employee-first enrollment model,' leaves families 'scrambling' to find alternatives

I find this article amusing, as if ski Mt Snow employees and their children aren’t part of the community themselves…..

Those of us around for ASC end of days remember when canyons was the only place getting new lifts. History repeats.

I’m a bit confused because if they were already part of the community then why weren’t their kids already enrolled there ? Seems shitty they only gave 6 weeks notice to the kids they are kicking outMount Snow Child Care moves to 'employee-first enrollment model,' leaves families 'scrambling' to find alternatives

That daycare facility (which has been around long enough that my now almost 22 and 20yr old kids were there on a seasonal Winter weekend basis back in the day), which operates year round, has been taking care of not just employee kids or weekend guests kids, but kids of local community residents, and there are very few other daycare facilities within a say 10-15 mile radius, hence the issue
I have no clue what the current ratio of children in that daycare who have parents who work for the mtn vs those who don't, but it definitely will effect some kids and families who live year round in the area. And given what has happened since Covid with so many properties that the locals who couldn't afford home ownership and relied on long term rentals now priced out due to those properties being bought up and renovated and put into the short term rental pool and a much higher rate, and the still loss of the local to the mtn grocery store to bank foreclosure, this will have significant effect on some families.
Will it get some of those families to seek employment with Vail Resorts to get access again to childcare? Time will tell. Will it make some current employees who have children in the daycare facility appreciate this benefit of employment? Maybe
As a small business owner with 9 employees, I fully understand the advantages of being able to offer enticing benefits to employees. As a long time, typically 75+ day a year part time resident of the Mount Snow area who has used their daycare facility for my own kids in the past, I fully relate to the other side as well...

3 of my 4 kids were enrolled in "Cub Camp" 10+ yrs ago and it was a great asset to Mtn parents during the season on wknds. Im sure it was not an easy decision but the impact for locals is meaningful.
Going into this season, the Valley is certainly not starting off on a positive note. With the loss of weekend medical services at Mountain Medical, these changes to childcare and the closing of the only local grocery store (not Vails fault but will be blamed) the life experience for the local population is certainly a cause of concern. God help them is there is a poor snow season.
