I think it's very noticeable here how practically nobody has any PCMR stickers on their car or license plate covers or wears PCMR gear (hats, shirts, etc...). Considering you're literally in Park City, you see almost no "Park City" merch, presumably because of how much Vail's hated.

BITD, I can say it was definitely not like that at Stowe, everybody had Stowe stickers on their car and stuff like that, Stowe clothes, yada, yada, yada. Wondering if Stowe is still all full of pride for their own local hill, or if similarly does nobody from Stowe do that since Vail?
Not sure, but I do have a shirt with the Vail
Logo… but it says Vail Sucks… so… carry on

I’ve found it to be an east vs west thing IMO. Sort of how like lodges carry a distinctly different vibe (if they exist at all) at the majors out West as compared to East. It’s also something only tourists do. You don’t see locals wearing Black Dog sweatshirts on MV either.

Reminds me of when NFL bust Brian Bosworth sold “Ban the Boz” shirts to Broncos fans

There is a way to protest - with your money. I understand if the resort(s) are near your property and you have less of a choice- that would be frustrating, but eventually bad businesses run out of customers and money. I don't see that happening quickly tho. How long did ASC take ( last public ski company) and for all its faults, it made major improvements in most of its properties - aaahhh the 90's!

great T shirt.
