The 30,000+ signature petition that is floating around to demand Vail refund season pass money, I'm like signature number 80. They won't do it I think, unless the State AG gets involved. Which he might. I hope.
But most likely I lit $650 on fire.
I still have my Ikon pass and enjoyed 2+ feet of new snow at Alpental on Wednesday. Wore me out, I don't have my legs under me yet.
Sounds like with this storm that rolled through, nothing is open for the foreseable future (aka Sunday).
Except Crystal. They rock.
Fuck Vail.
I have a very close fren who was a Director at Stevens for many years.
What they did to that place is criminal. -
The fine-print of the Season pass basically says they can take your money and fuck you for whatever reason.YellowSnow said:

However the implied agreement is that you own the risk of weather, injury and time/ability to ride. They own the responsibility of operating the mountain at full, advertised capacity. Everybody understands that once in awhile - even a handful of times per season - the weather gods say fuck you.
But adding labor is a simple equation. You need to do what it takes to attract bodies. Based on their history of dealing with labor the last 3 years, they simply WON'T do what it takes.
All while sitting on $1.2 BILLION in cash.
When you can work at the McDonalds in Sultan for $18.75/hr and save the 40-minute drive both directions extra for $15/hr, I don't blame anyone for sending Vail the #1-salute.
Trash as fuck is right, you know. -

JFC. This is an INSANE, MASSIVE controlled avy today at Crystal. As I understand it wiped out an entire run and made a new one with the trees demolished.
The break point at the top is taller than ski patrol (see photo). Speculated to take away all the snow since November.
Disappointing they didn't record any video for this one. -
I will post a summary soon. Nothing is confidential.pawz said:

Seriously fuck Vail and fuck Altera. They are ruining skiing every where.
There was no parking issue at Crystal pre Ikon pass BTW.

But Tree Well danger is extreme. I made frens in the porking lot with some UW grads today and found the goods. Both ex patrollers to save me. Good powder was had. -
I quit going to Stevens 5 years back, prior to not being able to do much of any skiing in general. The place is so mismanaged. Parking became a complete disaster, lines were horrendous, etc. I'd rather go to a smaller mountain like White than deal with the places that are run by the mega corps.YellowSnow said:
