Vail announces operating plan for all resorts

Q: What happens if I miss my reservation?

A: Our goal is to accommodate everyone who wants to ski and ride at our mountains this season. To make that happen, you should ONLY book week-of reservations for days that you plan to use. If you abuse the system by repeatedly missing or cancelling week-of reservations (or Priority Reservation Days that you booked within 2 weeks of the reservation date), you may lose your reservation privileges for a period of time. This season, we are all in this together. Thank you for understanding!

Every time I hear someone say "we are all in this together" I want to jab a ski pole in their face. And I hear it a lot. It's just a euphemism for "you have to suck up our sucky policies because of the pandemic."

I feel like saying "I'm not in this with you. I hate this crap, and I hate your policies." But of course I don't say that. I just smile through my coffee stained mask.

Montana, Colorado...

same crap east and west

The hell we are...we can't even go to Vermont!

At least Boyne puts a pretty face with the message.

The bolded part has been changed since the 1st draft. Now they might penalize you if you cancel your reservation?... Before they said as long as you cancelled your reservation prior to midnight the night before, your were good. I had accepted the reservation thing.... but now it's different. Can you imagine - you cancel your reservation at 11:15pm the night before because it's southern VT and the 14" of powder turned to 3" of slop followed with freezing rain so you get your reservation rights pulled.

It's worth stating again... Vail sucks and I will be steering even farther away from their resorts this winter

Hoping they're lenient on what constitutes reservation abuse. Still, I'll be fuming about "people who reserved and probably didn't show up" on any storm day I'm blocked out of. But, what's that old phrase I haven't heard in years? "We're all in this together?" I guess I should just be happy for a storm even if I don't get home mountain lift service for it.
