No thanks
Jan 26, 2025
I will never be using a credit for a lift ticket with Vail Resorts properties. I will also be very aware of whether or not the mountain I am going to next is owned/operated by Vail Resorts prior to booking. The lift ticket is only a small part of the cost I spent for a three-day, four-night ski vacation. Ski rental, lodging, transportation transfers, airfare, etc., for a family of four pales in comparison to a 50% discount on future tickets. I could have booked a European ski trip for the same or less of what I spent coming to Park City to ski at your mountain. It feels like you are still trying to get more money out of me by dangling a carrot that in comparison with the total cost of a trip is laughable. While Park City was operating a mountain only 20% open and not notifying me of what I should expect prior to arriving, I was charged the cost of premium lift ticket in excess of $300 per day! You knew it was not going to be a great experience, much less a good experience, the morning I bought a $300+ lift ticket, but you did so anyway!The cost isn’t even the biggest issue. Time is what I lost. Time off work, quality time with my family, time spent frustrated is the real thing lost. I could have gone to another mountain, spent half the money and had a 1,000% better time. My family hadn’t been on a ski trip in four years due to other commitments. My eldest daughter’s first time home since beginning college was the occasion being to be capped off with an awesome trip to the “best” ski destination in the U.S. That was definitely not what we got. So no, tempting me to come back with $150 lift tickets isn’t going to work and is insulting.Do better, more quickly and more earnestly.Jeremy BrownDallas, TexasThe post No thanks appeared first on Park Record.
