Vail Sucks 2021/20??

Reminds me of my French Canadian buddy:
"Next time you cut tru my yards, go around :)"

You think Vail Resorts Inc sucks? Their 2nd claims company Sedgwick sucks even more.
It has been 3 months since Vail Resorts Inc reopened our claim.
1st Sedgwick closed our claim before 30 days stating we gave them no info they requested after 60 days.
Then at 2.5 months they requested the information we've sent multiple times.
Now 15 business days later not a word from them.
It should not in any shape or form take this long to get an answer...

Oh and another company, like Vail, that is impossible to contact. Actually, worse if that's even possible. Go to their corporate site and try to find one phone # .

Ha! Fixed it now. I guess I’m stuck in the past.

Pricing structure for the day passes has a third level of resorts which is nice at $44.
Notice Attitash and Wildcat are in that group.

That'll keep the masses away ;)

So they throw a bone to the Midwest and Eastern areas with a $44 day ticket and you still need to complain about something? :s

Not sure this photo fits in this thread, but some may find it interesting.

Bit surprised Sunapee, Seven Springs and a couple others are on the low price list.

Could things be set up in a different way at times? Yes, well maybe if there arent't any other factors like adequete snow depth to set the retention poles in that a customer may not be aware of

Is it a pain in the butt for the staff when a bunch of people start ducking under queue lane ropes, especially on a warm day, and eventually one of them pulls out and need to be reset? Yes, especially as someone who over the years has set miles of safety b-netting around race courses and start/finish area netting for crowd management. Sometimes there isn't enough base to set the retention poles as deeply into the snow as they optimally would be, and then the more they get manipulated, the greater the chance of them coming out of the snowpack/ground and needing further attention

Curious. The lift maze at Bear Trap was set up one way for the past year and a half due to covid - pointed toward Milky Way. Vail finally made it 2 way during the Feb school vaca in 2022. Will you attest under penalty of law, you never ducked under that maze rope and skated all the way around each in every time to grab the Bear Trap double? Be truthful now!

Truthfully as primarily a weekend warrior, most of the time I'm taking Beartrap, there have been enough folks in the queue lanes that ducking under really wasn't a viable option.

If I happened to hit it with no line, then I *might* of taken down and then replaced the rope on the service entrance before

Yes. Been to Attitash lately? $44 to line up in the woods is no bargain.

Midwest? Also a Yes. Paoli Peaks paid lifties $11.25/hr on the handful of days they were open.

Meanwhile I got an email from Kirsten promising -- in bold text:

we can never waiver from our commitment to continuously reinvest in our team members, our resorts, and in you, our Pass Holders

so to answer your question: Yes. And by the way the spelling is hers, not mine.

This article is about Whistler, but applies company wide. It starts with empowered employees.
