I've never skied in Europe so hopefully someone can enlighten me, but the general impression I get is that there is less infrastructure there. Fewer lifts, most likely much less snowmaking and fewer lodges and buildings. If true this would streamline operations a little and you wouldn't need as much in terms of daily revenue to make up for it. 

That is completely wrong except for the less snowmaking because they don't need it except at lower elevations.

My head hurts now....

I’m not a big Nelly fan...unless you’re talking about Nelly Furtado

I'm going to NY in Jan. midweek. Many resorts are doing this garbage. Buy the tickets online in advance for specified dates and they're nonrefundable. So then it rains like tomorrow for [mention=3357]eaf[/mention] and the purchaser is SOL. It looks like Windham isn't doing limits for midweek so I think I'll go there.
It's annoying being locked into a hotel reservation to begin with, and now a ski reservation too.

Areas are looking for a way to survive during a pandemic. Do you want to keep skiing...short and long term?

[RidgeRacer]

The only thing I made a grievance about was nonrefundable tickets bought in advance, but Blue done good with [mention=3357]eaf[/mention] so I'm happy now.

Way to jump to conclusions.

[RidgeRacer]

I was wrong, he has a pass. I thought he didn't because he was talking about getting a refund for a ticket tomorrow. He clarified that it's for someone else.

Way to start rumors.

I want resorts to give some flexibility like Blue did to @eaf. For instance, require someone to make an account to purchase a lift ticket and give them a limited amount of times to be able to cancel or reschedule.

I understand this and that had to change this year, but I dont think every single thing should be attributed to the pandemic as an excuse.

Salty when people make plans they should stick to them.  What about people who buy Eagles tickets ahead of time and then decide last minute it’s raining or they don’t feel like going to the concer...you think it’s that easy to see Don Henley and Joe Walsh are just gonna give you your money back or change for another show...no you either shit or get off the pot.

Nope. I'm not willing to commit to anything unless there's a 99.9% of going.

Windham is looking rad - no ridiculous reservations midweek. Nice! Gore and Whiteface, now... bah!

No, I'll ski places that are willing to negotiate.

Reservations are rad.  That means you have a guaranteed ticket to ride.

I'll just wing it. I'm not doing reservations 3 weeks out, no way no how. If one resort sells out midweek so be it. There are many options in NY.

@eaf, @Ski2Live Live2Ski, and @RajeevGuptaSucheeta don't have season passes..

I don’t have a pass either, but I’ve also just accepted the fact that if I want to ski this year, anywhere, it’s going to be expensive and it’s going to be a risk weather wise. It is what it is.

I dont ski in the rain, warm weather or ice so this nonrefundable reservation system... yeah, it's just not gonna work out between us.

why don't you get a pass?  you had one last year?

[Mixilplix]

If you want to ski you will do what ever they want you to do...

I didn’t have one last year, I was buying tickets or skiing bear creek via ski patrol vouchers. 
 

I didn’t buy a pass this year because there was uncertainty with my job and if I was going to be relocated or not.

You've managed to turn a post about the best conditions at Blue this season into a thread about complaining and moaning. Typical salty.
