In the PR above and on page 2 of this thread

It's called sarcasm. Corporate types can talk themselves into anything, including 'parking dynamics', when concensus building.

Hopefully the recent management changes will allow some rethinking of things, like parking charges in NE.

Yeah, just when are they finally going to add the sarcmark to the qwerty keyboard?

19 new lifts and still no Summit Triple replacement at Attitash. NH is only getting one new lift between they're four ski areas in the state.

Those prices are absolutely insane.

It's the movie theater and country club pricing model...

Rueben's had great BBQ at fairly reasonable prices. It was a fixture for years and provided product to Cuzzins and the Bull Wheel. Just another thing ruined by Vail.

I gotta know what a $4 Pepsi tastes like.

I sent an email to Vail and heard back. They will be offering an alternative to Hot & Crispy Fries. They will have Cold & Soggy Fries for $5

Well ... glad to hear that they are offering a deal. :#

Hey I was just thinking the same thing.. I'm talking about the title

https://snowbrains.com/epic-pass-holders-denied-refunds-vail-resorts/
"4/2021 - In a letter to passholders last week, Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz addressed the long call center lines experienced by many customers, claiming that the company has since doubled and plans to quadruple their call center staff.

In January, a group of Epic Pass holders on the east coast were unhappy with Vail Resorts for “forcing them to either violate state pandemic travel restrictions or lose significant money they paid for ski passes,” reported WVCB. However, since then, Vail Resorts has done a u-turn and is preparing to offer credits to Epic Pass holders affected by individual state’s quarantine rules meaning they couldn’t ski this season."

I found no evidence of said u-turn on the web. Oh wait this article is dated 4/1/21...

I could not find any class action lawsuits for 2020-21 passes in a brief web search.

The Boston TV stations consumer problem solvers, Solve It 7, etc.. apparently want nothing to do with this, as we get zero response.

OK well apparently the Ikon folks aren't going to let Vail rest comfortably at the top of the suck heap. Killington just announced a thing called Fast Tracks, which means that for $49 people get to go ahead of you on line, and you can watch them and just enjoy sucking on that suckiness.

Does that mean they're assuming that they're going to have lines almost every day? I think I'll just stick to the ski areas where lines are the exception, not the rule.

Oh yes that would admit they had encouraged millions of rule breakers.

They gave everyone who didn’t use the pass a full credit. And with their “20% off” last year’s price I was able to upgrade a tier.

Well I can tell you that Vail won't credit/refund you for not using your passes because of state quarantine/travel restriction rules. Tried 4 times to appeal their decision with no luck. I even tried my credit card company (Chase Bank) and they won't because Vail won't offer anything. So, out $1500. and my wife & I took our skiing & money elsewhere this coming season.

Not correct.

Not correct.

They did for unused amounts of 2019/2020 applied to the 2020/2021 pass. I can’t say if they did the same for unused 2020/21 applied to 2021/22 since we have not bought one for 21/22. If true, this would be the first I’ve heard about it. There were class actions filed for the unused month of 2019/20.

I guess there must be only like 4 of us who want money back due to 20/21 travel restrictions or some law firm would have filed.
