Does anyone find the staff at that mountain rude and pissy? I do.

you are the first person to ever feel this way. no one has specifically, in the regional forum nonetheless, stated the management as their reason for no longer going to grouse. ever. EVER.

i know that i was treated quite poorly by grouse management, though my situation was exceptional (not that skiing out of bounds is exceptional, but whatever)

but i know for fact that a group of snowboard friends of mine intentionally did not renew their grouse passes and instead bought passes for seymour this year because they felt they had been inappropriately harassed by staff members

This is what I'm talking about. It's not even the people on the hill but the people at the resturant and even the gift shop. For the money you pay to go there it's more worth it to go to seymour, alteast the staff are more relaxed there.

not rude, but maybe cold?
I dunno, I've always found seymour staff more chill and inviting. it's a smaller mountain so you can get to know more people and it's a better atmosphere. grouse is the local mountain with the inflated ego
small wonder i ended up working at seymour

This is really, really, lame.

The other night, I was heading up to shoot photos for my grouse blog application and had my skis (which have one break on each ski REALLY hard to carry as it is) and my lightstand and tripod etc. in a carrying bag in my other hand. I RAN from parking lot D to catch the tram, get to the guy scanning passes, put down my stuff to grab my pass out and he says to me:

"You're going to have to take the next tram because you didn't have your pass ready" and walks away!

I scream at him "are you SERIOUS RIGHT NOW my hands were full!"

He comes storming back " ALRIGHT FINE I'LL LET YOU ON THIS TRAM, BUT IF YOU GIVE ME ONE MORE WORD OF ATTITUDE YOU'RE NOT GETTING UP AT ALL"

What a power tripping douche, I wanted to smack him. Really though, it was so clear that I was struggling as it was and this guy goes out of his way to bother me when my hand was in my pocket trying to grab my pass out already.. come on now.

Yeah because the guy who scans tickets has so much power... and waiting that extra 10 minutes would have for sure ruined your night, right?

I probably would have said the same thing if some kid screamed at me because he couldn't be ready fast enough, you could've just used the extra 10 mins to get your shit together.
