Don’t worry. VR’s got a guy from Wilmot.
Maybe if they paid really well, they could get Lammers back.

Did isles leave? What about Haggerty? He saved SSV’s bacon when that resort fired all their patrollers.

haven't chatted with Tim recently so not sure if he's leaving too, although I'll admit that one would surprise me, but who knows these days!

Quit, maybe a couple ‘retired’
If Anton(forecaster? I dunno) left he probably retired.

No I’m still there. 25 years and counting!
It’s going to be interesting to see how it all shakes out this winter.
One one hand a gigantic amount of experience is gone from the snow safety department. On the other hand, there’s still lots of very experienced and talented people on BSP. I’m guessing sharp eyed locals might pick up on some differences in lift openings and closings on marginal weather days, but I’d bet their program will more or less keep chugging along.
But what do I know.

Whistler 21/22
Given that powder is Vail’s prime resource, and that terrain needs patrol clearance to open, why can’t Vail just hire another crew or two of patrollers to open terrain faster? They can afford to drop millions on lift upgrades it seems so why not spend a little more on patrol staff? Or is the timing of terrain opening not really a man power lssue?

Is that a serious question? If the snow impacted ability to get to overpriced lunch you bet your ass vail would step up. For skiing? No fucking way

For sure and I'm not calling anyone out here. I know you guys are busting your balls (and boxes) up there and doing your best with what you have. And I appreciate there is a tonne of work going behind the scene, so many variables difficult to control. I'm just saying when I see patrol heading up Spankies at 10am I think to myself maybe if they had another 8 patrollers per shift that 10 am could be 9 am.
But as Detrusor says, terrain opening probably isn't really their biggest priority, its just mine. Their biggest commodities are the high margin items like food and ski school.

I just saw a new announcement of two planned lift upgrades next summer: Fitz going to an 8-person chair and Jersey Cream to 6-person.

In Park City, the Park City Planning Department approved a permit to upgrade the Eagle and Silverlode lifts at Park City Mountain in April 2022, and the Planning Commission subsequently revoked that permit in June 2022. While the Company is committed to resolving our permit to upgrade the Eagle and Silverlode lifts in Park City, the Company intends to install the two previously-purchased lifts at Whistler Blackcomb in calendar year 2023, replacing the four-person high speed Jersey Cream lift with a new six-person high speed lift and replacing the four-person high speed Fitzsimmons lift with a new eight-person high speed lift. The Whistler Blackcomb lift installations remain subject to approvals.
