The expectations were set low for skiing this season, but Vail has managed to sub-perform in every aspect at Attitash and Wildcat. Passholders have encountered a wide variety of Vail’s mismanagement, from failure to make snow to proper staffing to run lifts to even the most uncomplicated convenience of providing outdoor cubies for people to store their bags.
I have my EPIC pass for which I paid about $364. I have yet to go to the slopes. I hope not to be abused by the same degrading and insulting situations described by people who have already had complaints. I hope they get their act together or I too will never do business with them.
I fully agree. I am ditching my Epic Pass and getting an Ikon Pass and will be skiing at Sunday River, which has done tons of snowmaking and already has 72 trails and 410 acres of skiable terrain open, compared with 8 trails (36 acres) at Wildcat and 18 trails (81 acres) at AAttitash. Vail Corp is sitting on $1.5 billion of cash after selling 2.1 Epic passes for 2021-22, and it's starving its 37 Vail-owned ski resorts of much needed money to hire and retain dedicated snowmaking crew, grooming staff, and lift operators. Instead, thus week Vail spent $120 million to buy another three ski areas in Pennsylvania. Vail should be spending the money generated from Epic Pass sales on improving the skiing experience of its current Epic Pass holders at its 37 currentl mountains, not using the money to buy more mountains
