He got those skis from EPIC Gear no doubt.

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?

You should have hopped in. You could make some easy money if you get stuck overnight!

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.

Some of you are so obsessed with Rob Katz you probably have a few pictures of him hanging on your walls

Walls no

But he would definitely make good dart board material

The pay package also includes........ $80,000 in resort credits every year. Credits can be redeemed across Vail's portfolio for accommodations, meals, spa services, golf lessons, ski rentals, and excursions.

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.
