Vail Resorts RESERVED SKIING! It's gonna be EPIC!

[Dee Hubbs]

I just looked at the priority day calendars for several resorts and didn't see a single day yet without availability.

I agree, I was on hold the other day, so I clicked on every resort’s calendar, and there was not a single booked out day at any single resort.

I signed into my W-B account yesterday to set my "Epic Coverage Pass Preferences" (cancellation coverage) before the December 7 deadline. Then I popped over to reservations. No waiting and all days available at W-B.

I am completely paranoid now with this whole thing. Lets look at what we know or how i perceive it. Not one date out yet is unavailable at any of the resorts, zero. XMAS week at Stowe, whistler, vail etc.. ? Once you book your 7 priority days you lose out on that option for refund as a way out. I just re read the fine print under refunds. A “Priority Reservation Cancellation Event” occurs when Vail Resorts cancels one or more of your Priority Reservation Days as a result of capacity constraints or a Resort Closure Event. So everyone got the exact holiday prime days reserved with no problem. However according to this they can cancel your priority days based on capacity? We have no idea what the caps are? How the fck can you plan anyting or am i reading this all wrong?

Quite frankly,if you don’t have a completely open Cancellation/refund option on hotels etc I wouldn’t be making any plans for more than a week out.

Has anybody gotten their pass in the mail yet? I uploaded my photo and set up my account weeks ago and haven't gotten anything, hoping to use the pass this weekend...

[Benny Profane]

I was told that the pass could be picked up at any Vail resort.

[Benneke10]

So its fair to expect the ticket offices to be mobbed opening weekend?

[schindlerpiste]

Just use your old pass

[Benneke10]

I don't have an old pass, its my first time going Epic

[Benny Profane]

I don't think the RIFD robots would like that.

so all this bs about being covid safe and the first thing they want you to do is pack into a season pass office. Brilliant.

I called about this and spent an hour on hold and this was the answer they gave

Well, no. I hope. Although it's Vail. They dont seem to be on top of a lot of shit these days. I was happy to talk to a human. I would suggest that, if this a concern, go midweek late to pick up your pass, and hold your breath. I agree, sounds like a lot more dangerous than my recent DMV visit, but, I had to schedule three weeks ahead for that.

At least at Keystone this past weekend, they had outdoor ticket windows where it looked like people were picking up passes.

They'll probably limit the amount of people allowed inside, like has been normal practice pretty much everywhere. It's about risk mitigation, not elimination.

My pass came in the mail this past Saturday.

I'm at least in the waiting room. Guess we will find out soon if I can ski on turkey day or not.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Everyone trying to get the few Stowe opening spots, lol.

Ditto.

Number of users in line ahead of you: 39444
Your estimated wait time is: more than an hour

Are we going to have to go through this wait time bullshit every Wed. afternoon? That's going to fuck a lot of people who just can't sit in front of a computer.

I had 16k people in front of me, but I got in and I was able to reserve every day I wanted over the Thanksgiving week. Bring on the WROD!

[Dee Hubbs]

I just logged in at 2:40 and there were 28,000 ppl in front of me, and approx 20 min wait.

Same here. At the risk of saying something nice about Vail, this isn't a terrible system so long as you can sit at a computer during the right window of time, and it beats most available alternatives.

[wasatch_carpetbagger]

Anyone skiing Park city this weekend? Any idea what the terrain is going to look like?
