The only people I sort of feel bad for are those who bought passes for vacations or college breaks. Realistically though if you didn’t get your use out of your pass by March, you werent going to anyways...but now you have a reason to blame it on someone else
typicaldenverkidI checked his profile, I didn't do too much digging but I can see this guy on his rossi 7s TRYING to catch up to some younger skiers who got a bit close to him due to his insanely wide and slow turns
cover photo kinda tells you everything you need to know.
You're stupid, brah, and you have to be stoned. You blithering idiot, I PAID FOR THE FULL SEASON. I am fucking entitled to what I paid for. As a former liftie, groomer, and instructor, I have all kinds of sympathy for employees, and I never once said anything negative about them. Your problem has absolutely nothing to do with MY problem, which is that I paid for a full season and I am not getting what I paid for. The two issues are not related. Shit happens. If it had been low snow, that is part of the risk involved in buying a pass. How about you think about your customers instead of yourself, the hard work that went into paying for a pass, the canceled plans, the diminished value, etc. I'm not criticizing the call to close, I'm saying I am owed what I paid for. Alterra needs to take the financial hit and make things right with their customers, no matter what the reason for the closures. Or they lose my business, and so do you. You do remember that you have a ski area job because of skiers who buy lift tickets, don't you?. That people like me pay your wages and make your life possible? As usual, no gratitude or consideration for the customer. Typical local, thinks the world revolves around his problems.

He's entitled to what he wants but not locals because they are toooo entitled. Oh the irony.
skierman"That’s what you get for making folks pay to park! Great leadership in closing!"
"Refund for season pass holders? Skied there today and felt like that was the safest environment I could be in with all things considered. VERY SAD/UPSET ABOUT THIS DECISION!!!"
"I like that refund for the season pass holders! Or extra discounted pass for next year! Definitely a refund on the annual parking pass, that my wife and I paid for . Not to mention the dozens of other people i talked into paying for!"
"Couldn’t you even give us one day notice so we can have a proper closing day? How about close Monday? Gawd can’t believe my last day of the year was one I couldn’t celebrate!"
"So, I’d like a partial refund on my season pass"
"What ?!?!? This is madness"
Actual posts to Solitude's decision to close down. 1st world problems.
