VAIL SUCKS

[BenedictGomez]

I mean I'm basically married to Vail with one of their hills 4 miles from me. What would be the benefit to locking me down for 3 years at a discount?

I'm so confused; you literally just stated the benefit. lol

I interpreted it as he's buying it anyway so what would be the benefit for Vail to offer that to someone like him. Sure there's a benefit from Vail's perspective to lock in people that have flexibility to change back and forth between different passes. But I don't know what percentage of their passholders that would be. There's no benefit for Vail to lock in people that are buying anyway. I kind of feel that might be the bigger group, so they stand to lose more than they would gain (but I also imagine they have the data to make this decision).

Vail is trying to make their yearly numbers to not look so poor. It’s a short term bandaid but probably not a great move looking longer term.

Because Vail cant offer a discount to people with a zip code >= 45.5 miles or whatever away. I mean, technically I supposed they could, lol, but that isnt going to happen.

There's not way there are more EPIC passholders who are mountain locals than there are passholders who are not locals.
I dont even think it's remotely close, I think the latter is a massively larger group than the former.
