If you want to stay in business...

Businesses need happy and satisfied customers.

There's a recent video of somebody tumbling almost the entire length of that couloir right under the gondola,which is Big couloir. They're probably still in pain.

It’s in the Bad Wipeout thread Ben.
Dude said the day after from his hospital bed he was gonna ski it again.
Did that run count?

That's quite a document. I don't really have the patience to read and understand it.
I think (?) it's saying the goal is to get/keep ski days per ticket at 4 per season and yield $112 per day?
If that is right we are REALLY in the minority here. Even my price per day is way below that.
I guess this is as close as they come to the phrase "lift lines."

Business appears to be set up to be like a timeshare-Disney-captive-audience keep-em-subscribed for a vacation model.

I like ski areas and want them to stay in business. I also like people but I prefer when they are not around, especially on a powder day. The best days I had this year were at three defunct ski areas that were closed a long time ago. Waiting in lines? No thanks, I’d rather hike.

A forum member recently said something to the effect of: "running a ski area is a business so don't be surprised when they treat it like a business."

I wasn't implying any surprise.

It’s a multi-national corporation trying to manage whatever it is they try to manage.

Every public company has this on every statement.

Yup, just thought it was somewhat appropriate in light of this thread.

This is boilerplate? or the rest of it?
