Does Vail deserve to call PC "our city"

SFBv420.0you are aware pcmr fucked up dropped the ball
allowing vail to make it park shitty
i dug the
"your'e so vail you probably think the town is about you" sign
and

big.lovepublicly traded company that prioritizes profit and corporate partnerships over local businesses.

big.loveI think it's bullshit that they call Park City "our city" and "our community" in this statement.

Pretty bold phrasing in my opinion when they came in and bought Canyons and forced out PCMR with so much opposition from the community. I feel like it is a weasel-ish tactic to pretend they are there to support the local community not rape it for all its monetary worth.

Anyone else agree?


Written statement from Bill Rock, chief operating officer of Park City Mountain Resort:

“In 2014 while under Powdr Corp ownership, an application was filed with the Patent and Trademark Office to register the word mark “Park City” for providing facilities for skiing and snowboarding. After our acquisition, we supported that application because we think it’s appropriate to obtain the benefits of federal registration for the Park City mark, which has a long history of use in connection with the ski resort that is located in the Park City community. This is common within the ski industry and there are other businesses in our community that have registered Park City for their products. However, recently there has been much concern raised in the community about what the impact of our trademark registration would be. We have tried to assure the community that this registration would not negatively impact other businesses and we do believe that there has been some misunderstandings and misinformation about the trademark registration. That said, this has clearly become a distraction that is pulling our collective focus away from the important work that lies ahead for our city on critical issues, such as affordable housing, parking and transit among others. As such, we have decided to withdraw our trademark application in an effort to move beyond this concern. In addition, we will be updating certain of our wayfinding and vehicular signage in Park City to address any local confusion about the difference between the resort and the municipality. We will be longtime partners in the Park City community, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration on everything that makes our community so special.”

ozzywrongFuck Utah resorts .. And fuck vail.. Go ski in Japan , Russia, or Europe sooo much better your ski resorts are tiny.. And all of your rules sick donkeys balls... Vail just bought Perisher and now passes are 133$ Australian a fucking day.. How the fuck can someone afford to pay 133$ a day to ride a one lane park that's not that good anyways ... Vail can go to hell

Profahoben_212i feel this. I cant imagine paying for a family at Northstar....northstar is trash except for the park and tickets are 130ish each. 4 person family for two days is over a grand! without food or lodging...absolute bunk. But hey....if they can keep the passes flowing at that price more power to them. I dont know how they do it

SFBv420.0crikeys mate
skibums ski
because it's their passion love and addiction and one of the greatest feelings known
pathetic fanbois worry how their pro hoes will survive
you forgot canada
its like japan only there are slopes greater than 35 degrees

eheathThey say "our" because they are a business within the community/town so it still includes them, regardless of how big they are. What happens in the community effects them, they know this and will probably do some good things for park city, but the property value and increased tourism is going to have a negaive effect in the future no matter what vail does.

SFBv420.0if you owned property or a local business exactly how are increased property values or increased tourism going to have a negative effect?

MikeWeinerONEHowever name me one succesful business outside of a non-profit that does not aim to maximize profit. That is how business works. If you aren't trying to maximize profit you aren't running a succesful business. That doesn't mean cutting corners, it means trying to find the best way to make the most money.

.So many people have beef with Vail and the people that work for Vail but fuck 99% of us work for the company because we love skiing and the mountains so why not work for a company like Vail. I get the negative stereotypes and I get that not all of the business decisions have been community friendly. You said yourself you'd kill for a position like his so doesn't it make sense that he and others like him would want to work for the most profitable company within that industry? If given the choice would you choose to work for the shitty local cable company that's barely scraping by or someone like comcast who can provide job security and has a future? [/QUOTEsounds like your putting profits over +150" of snow
and 10x better terrain of the cottonwoods

SFBv420.0deer valley is super nice they do what they do really well.
they have their shit dialed tight
if it snows more than 18" in the cottonwoods
rarely will it be deeper on the satch back
but
you will ski more untracked there
mostly because there isn't much sick gnars that needs avvy control
and the bro brahs would rather sit in the conga line for 1/2 a day in the tram line
both pow mows and the basin ski better than pcmr

StaticIf that was the case you'd see tourists getting their tickets pulled not season pass holders. They would be offering employment incentives rather than guest incentives. They wouldn't be blacking out employee passes on opening weekend. I work and live at a ski resort (not owned by vail thank God), shit's stacked against the locals wherever you go. Who's got the higher paying jobs? Fat fucks who don't ski. Friends and family of the resort owners. Nothing you can do about it, just keep slogging along, but don't try to deny the reality of the situation.
