Who is going to tell me that I have to ski all day? I live slope side and often just roll out for a couple, three hours of spinning the wheel skiing street. Not going to hang all day to appease someone who didn't get a ticket. With limited lodge space and virtually no inside dining or bars a lot of families and benny soft adults won't be hanging out for long stretches and will head home after a few hours, have lunch and maybe come back.
Saw something that Wachussett was going to break their day into four parts as they are open from 9am-10pm.www.apriliaforum.com

Deer Valley already has a reservation system in place.
Here is the way they did it last season:
Discover Deer Valley~
In keeping with our commitment to service and to help ensure an exceptional mountain experience, Deer Valley limits the number of skiers on the hill each day. Please remember that Deer Valley is a ski-only resort.
Deer Valley® reaches capacity during the holidays and other peak periods throughout the year, so we encourage you to plan ahead. To guarantee access to Deer Valley Resort, we ask our Ikon Pass and Ikon Base Pass guests to make a reservation up to midnight the day prior to your ski day, for yourself and your Friends & Family by following the process below:
IKON PASS & IKON BASE PASS HOLDERS
RESERVATIONS PROCESS
Login below with your Ikon Pass Order number and email address, Cart number and email address, Media ID or ikonpass.com login credentials. Order or Cart numbers are located in your email confirmation from ikonpass.com. The Media ID is the number located below the barcode on your Ikon Pass and begins with a capital I.
Utilize the calendar function to add a new reservation for the day(s) that you will be skiing at Deer Valley. You can only make reservations for the number of days that your Ikon Pass is valid to ski at Deer Valley (Ikon Pass - seven days with no holiday restriction. Ikon Base Pass – five days with holiday restrictions of Dec. 26 – 31, Jan. 18 – 19 and Feb. 15 – 16.) Add all ski days by person and save dates
After making your reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive your confirmation within a few minutes of placing your order, please check your spam/junk folder and if it is not there, then contact emarketing@deervalley.com for assistance.
If you are bringing friends or family to the resort, during an applicable time for your pass type, please reserve their lift tickets as well. You must be present for your friends and family to purchase discounted tickets. Friends & Family tickets are 25% off the current day-of window rate and are not valid on multi-day ticket rates. Discount is only available for full day lift tickets.
SKI DAY LIFT ACCESS
Without Friends & Family redemption: Please proceed to any chairlift to have your Ikon Pass scanned prior to 10 a.m., particularly during peak times (weekends, holidays and March breaks).

I skied there one day last season and the reservation process wasn't bad. I also got lucky and made there on a powder day. I arrived late due to the slow commute, but they were reasonable about that.

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 hassle/stress free. Otherwise, we can end up like that imbecile in the video.“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”. — Jimi Hendrix

I'm okay with this reservation system, but there absolutely has to be repercussions for those that continually reserve days and don't show up. Fuck those people. Given the RFID scanners and the user database, this is so easy for them to track.
From the EpicPass Q&A: "We reserve the right to restrict the ability of the pass holder to make future reservations if the reservation system is being abused or manipulated in any way." Hopefully that's an indication that they are coming up with a policy to handle the repeated no-shows.Old's Cool.

I wouldn't be shocked if they don't firm up that policy until December, or even later—after they see how it actually sugars out. If there are 50 people nationwide reserving every day (and not skiing most of them), 500 being aggressive and missing a lot of days but not completely silly about it, and everyone else is playing nice, I could see the 50 getting their skiing privileges yanked and the 500 being ignored because it's too complicated to draw the line between "honestly sucks at scheduling" and "gaming the system", plus 500 people nationwide isn't a big impact on the resorts. Add a zero (or two) to each number, and they'll have to react a lot more aggressively.
I could see it being something of a good thing for some locals in terms of "well, crap, I put in the reservation, I guess I should at least take a run." That's one of the biggest reasons I count days—the number of days I went out because I was trying to get to a certain number and said "geez, I'm glad I came out, this is better than I expected" is vastly higher than the number I said "damn, I wish I was sitting at my desk right now." I wonder if that could create an unintended uptick in weekday usage...

I cannot wait for someone to make a thread here complaining about losing their pass privileges. That should be Hall of Fame worthy.

My conundrum is the night before, I don't know if the call is Heavenly or Northstar. I live midway between the 2, it's about 10 min shorter to N* but after dealing with their parking/shuttle BS, it's a wash. Heavenly would normally be the choice, but in a season like last year, where there was virtually no snow for 2 1/2 months and pretty much just skiing groomers, it's a toss up. Throw in that Heavenly often has lift operations affected by wind and N* is one of the most sheltered resorts around and I'm just rolling the dice on my weather prediction abilities.
Since it's unlikely I'll be able to reserve 'em both ( and certainly frowned upon if I do ), if I reserve Heavenly and wake up to find half the mtn is blown down, then I'm screwed because reservations at N* are sold out."The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size."
