Weekends are for tourists

I booked next week dates at around 3:45. All weekdays were open

2:00pm MT

Tomorrow is another (week of) reserve day, I think.
So far, so good. I think that morning of is a good time to log on and try to make a reservation. I have done this twice.
The thing that bothers...

Right? You know that for many of the next 7 dy bookings many people took all 7. but won't ski 4 or 5 of them

Cross post from Wasatch thread:
NBD, but I just kinda got screwed from the vail res. system. This morning, I made a reservation for my wife and me at PC on the 20th. Later, my wife told me that she...

Just use your old pass

I'd be very surprised if any days sell out (or fill up) in UT., other than Dec. 26-Jan.1, Presidents' Weekend and MLK weekend.

Whatever. I think that except for holidays, it's all hype. I expect to make a reservation the night before on most of my Epic days.
The reservation system is just an attempt by Vail to keep current...

That was easy. Did it while walking my dog. Consecutive Wednesdays beginning 12/16. Christmas Day

F##K!!!
The waiting room will be worse than waiting to purchase a college parking pass, or registering for classes.

I may wait until Thanksgiving to make my mid-week reservations

As...

Since Vail took over The Can. I don't really ski weekends there. I will choose a random weekday (Wed.) and make my reservations for each consecutive [Wed.] from Jan. 1 on. I don't think that weekday...

I did, too. The agent was happy to change my preference for unlimited pass to local pass, and take my payment over the phone. I was told that everyone else will be billed on 11/02

Working as a lift this winter is going to be a rough gig. I can see a lot of arguments and fights in the lift line. In addition to lifties, Vail will probably have 2 or 3 red jackets to police the...

Just received an e-mail from Vail asking me to call. I was on hold for about 15mins. It turns out that they were responding to e-mail that I sent them in June requesting a downgrade from unlimited to...

Vail trying to sugarcoat its reservation system:

PASS HOLDER PRIORITY ACCESS
For your safety, we will be managing how many people are on our mountains this season and implementing a pass holder...

Vail attorneys' ski in Jeans.

Three ways to stay COVID safe:
1) Arrive at 7:30, so you get 1st chair; or
2) Stay home until 11:00am. so that you arrive after the lift line dissipates;
3) Ski terrain accessed by the less...

Reservations, or not, there are still going to be long lines and carnage in the base areas of places where initial access is limited to 1-3 lifts.
Until there is a vaccine, staying opened is...

While many consider PCMR boring as F**K, it is always a good day to ski a couple laps on Empire, head over to McKonkeys, then take to gondola to 9990, back to Scott's, Jup, McKonkeys, Empire,...

OTOH, I did not make any reservations at DV, but was able to ski there with my IKON and Local Pass without problem. All my skiing there was done mid-week.
Skiing and time in mountains needs to be...

I think that places like Vail, PCMR and Whistler will be at reservation capacity everyday of the season.
We all knew that it was coming, but today it stings.
This has motivated me to purchase a...

This really sucks for people who like to ski 5-6 days/wk, but only 2-3 hrs./day. I know so many who ski until 11:00-11:30 and then do other things

I kind of have no idea what this means. I guess that every Sunday at 12.01AM, I will go on-line to book reservations for MTWTHandF.
Then, what happens if I decide to ski Alta or DV on W, but I have...
