Replying to Fuck Eldora
Today me and jake arrived at Eldora around 2:45 hoping to just session the park for a few runs and then head back down to boulder. Both lifts at the park were closed and they seem to have gotten rid of their pipe. Jake bums a ticket and shows it to the lifty, the lifty freaks, calls ski patrol who then proceeds to almost knock jake over stepping on the back of his bindings and taking his skis to the ski patrol shed so we can't leave and taking down my liscense plate number. We offer to just buy two half day tickets and like 4 eldora dudes split us up and force me to pay 106 dollars for 2 FULL day lift tickets and still wont let us even ski or leave. Then they get the manager and he wants us to pay for two full day adult passes each (a total of $212) and still not let us ski but instead make us head back down to Boulder. He black mails us saying unless we pay it he will call the cops. I requested to see their policy sheet which they kept claiming said that you have to buy 2 full day passes and then you have to leave if you try to get on a lift without paying. No where on there did it say anything about that at all, infact they had only broken a few of their own rules that I read through. So they call the cops up and we nearly get arrested by a bullshit ass officer and he took down all of our information plus school name and everything. I ended up paying 53 dollars (adult full day) for standing at the base of eldora watching jacob ask the lifty if we could catch a ride up the lift cuz it was the end of the day (close to 3:00) with a bumed ticket and I never even bumed a ticket or even asked the lifty for a ride up, yet they said I was trespassing for standing in their parking lot like everyone else does before they buy their tickets. They claimed that my intention was to go up the lift without paying which it was but I was just gonna ask the dude without buming to see if he would be chil and if not go buy a half day. They said that that was proof enough so me and Jake each payed 53 bucks and wasted like 3 hours of our lives driving and arguing and never even got to ski at all just because one person tried to use a ticket which someone willfully gave to him at the end of his day of skiing. Plus their weren't many people there so no one would have had to wait in line any longer because of us or anything, jake was just replacing someone who had bought a full day ticket. The whole situation was just so impractical and bogus and the people that worked at Eldora were ALL fucking twats, everysingle one of them was a dick that could not be reasoned with or spoken to logically. And so was the cop who would't even listen to us and just heard false shit from the ski patrol who were practically physically keeping us there when he arrived. FUCK THAT MOUNTAIN I AM NEVER GOING BACK. Except maybe to do some shit to it or the employees that we dealt with today. And I want my 50 bucks back without having to deal with court or anythign because I did not breach any laws. There's no way they can prove that I wasn't just heading up to buy a ticket and even so, I was just gonna ask the dude if it would be chil to ride up without a ticket without trying to bum or anything which they said would have been illegal (which it shouldn't be just to ask) and based there charge on that assumption and the cop said that was fine. So fuck the police and fuck eldora mountain. Josh you should deffinately buy that place cuz it is a chil ass mountain and has terrain park potential plus a few steeps out by westridge and is super close. The management is just so gay i now know why like half my friends refuse to ski there. We weren't trying to be that sneaky or anything we just dind't wanna pay 42 bucks for 2 runs so we thought the dudes might be chil and understand. We have both bought passes in the past and stuff it was just this time. If Eldora were run well that could be one sick ass place.
