and I wasn't speaking directly to you. I was talking more along general complaining lines. people always threaten to take their business elsewhere.
how are you going to do that? buy a season pass elsewhere?
just cut your losses. it's one freakin day. you have at least 90 decent days of winter per year, give or take... I seriously doubt that this drought is going to ruin your life. Don't be pissed at Camelback for preserving what little mountain there is for PAYING(yes, I mean those that don't already have a comp ticket or season pass--those who CONTINUE to bring money) customers.
Think about the math here... 200 non paying/season pass holding day skiers/riders. most of which don't pay for food there, most of which order their gear online... think about the cost of staffing camelback... we're talking HUGE costs. It barely warrants staying open during the week, unless it's a holiday--or the conditions are right.
Consider how many people visit on an average Saturday, consider 90% of them aren't season passholders... we're talking 900% more money to be made on a weekend, not including food/gear/etc...
so, I ask you... from a business standpoint, why shoot themselves in the foot to please those that will complain about it anyway--all the while ruining the mountain for PAYING customers?
If camelback was 100% open today, you'd be hitting bare patches, ice patches, 65mph winds, rain dumping on you... and you are telling me that these are anything BUT conditions that warrant closing?
