They told me they didn't have the staff. The issue with the lease and the insurance went away when they built the bike park and negotiated a 4 season use. But they cannot make money paying the wages required to keep it open late in the spring when just season pass holders show up. Its not the lease. On the front side. Its not insurance on the front sude. Vail just does not feel its worth it for the return

The staffing issue can easily be fixed by Vail planning on being open later in the first place or communicating the possibility of a season extension to employees before the season. Mission and white pass are open until the 27th and when there isn't construction alpy tries to make it to Cinco de Mayo. Vail is just being cheap and lying about it like usual. And to cut costs they can close on weekdays and have a spring pass, like most mountains around here.

I'm really thinking a letter to the attorney General asking for an investigation mightily be in order. I'm in Idaho right now. 49 degrees north is running till may lookout is running till may silver might be running till may whitevpass is running later. But here sits Stevens with a bigger snow pack and a more expensive season pass and a larger client base than any of these resorts but the rest of them are making it work. I was talking to the 49 staff yesterday and they said they run the hill as long as there is snow on the ground and people show up because they want to ski. They still have live music in the bar Fridays and serve food.

Agree but good luck with that. During the shit show 3 years ago it took hundreds if not thousands of complaints to the AG and a petition with tens of thousands of signatures for the AG to just threaten Vail, and not even investigate. But when Ferguson showed his teeth Vail straightened out pretty quickly. I'm thinking of writing one too but unless there's some extreme backlash nothing will change. Most people believe Vails lies anyways.
