Josh - I feel your pain. I too am seriously thinking about changing to another venue. This year in particular was brutal. I won't blame the team for lousy weather, but honestly, I'm trying to remember which weekends this season I was able to use the lifts as intended. They were practically always down for one reason or another.
You know, a little more communication would go a long way. How about just coming clean? Be honest. How about some down-to-earth regular updates on how things are going from Win? How about a big bash to celebrate the season that wasn't?. How about some humor? I know I'm just down right depressed about it. Come on Summit Ventures, don't be thin-skinned. The going's getting tough, so get up and do some schtick. Don't take things so seriously. Yeah I know, selling condos for $700k kind of contradicts that.
I ride up the lifts with all kinds of customers, every ski day. I'm amazed at how quickly and how in such an opinionated way perfect strangers exchange their gripes. It goes from pass holders to day trippers, the feeling just isn't good. This needs to change. What's bugging a lot of folks is the attitude. The "every one just stay calm, there's nothing to see" pitch is wearing thin.
Personally, I'm pretty unhappy about the Blue Tooth. I think it's just another step in the wrong direction, but c'est la vie. Am seriously thinking of putting the condo up sale and moving on. maybe I won't, but I'm now more than uneasy.
