Whaleback Mountain Updates

[Los]

Apologies to Whaleback for the derailment of this thread. Apparently a certain interest group thinks it's all about them.

It's all been considered. Rest assured we appreciate ALL military service, past and present - there are several Veteran Whaleback Directors that set policy. The fact of the matter is in the past two years zero (0) veterans (disabled or other) took advantage of the pass even though they were eligible. What we did receive through customer feedback is that active service members wish they could get their family on their pass, so that is what we are doing for this year. We have direct data showing it would be utilized vs nothing on the veteran side.

If zero took advantage of the offer why not offer it again? Makes no sense to me that you are creating ill will because of something no one took advantage of to begin with. Just offer it, according to you it's no skin off your back.

The wonder why no mountains participate in forums like this. Can't please everyone, move along.

Exactly. It's a real shame. Sorry again Whaleback.

Nothing disrespectful has been said to Whaleback.

Why don't you take your Holier than Thou attitude and shove it up your ass.

Hope we have a good winter this upcoming season.

Since I have a Peaks Explorer pass I will be in NH quite a bit and I have always wanted to check out Whaleback.

I think poor whaleback needs to start a new thread. This one has permanently derailed!

I agree! Was it poorly marketed? Were there competing product at other resorts (Cannon comes to mind)? Maybe rather than dropping it, find out why veterans did not take advantage of it. I had considered it but to include my family, it did not make sense.

Bolton is at a much high elevation. I was up there last weekend and there was hardly any snow down by 89 and Bolton had 14". Whaleback also makes limited snow compared to just about any place else. Totally a horrible comparison.

I'm glad to see Whaleback was able to open some more terrain. Hopefully the trend continues.

Christ almighty - I realize there are reasons for the differences. I'm deleting my post...

Other places in NH can get good snow so they don't get totally screwed.

Fun at the Whale yesterday. It's about as good as it gets!
