And because the two expresses are critical for full access, they typically do spin. Which is not to be said about Blue that managed to create crowds out of nowhere on several occasions this season, weekdays and weekends included, because they didn't feel like running two expresses at the same time.

So you won’t go next weekend if they give you a free pass for showing your blue season pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprogram4 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I have to say, Im intrigued by this whole new "Piss off your loyal customers" approach blue is doing the past few weeks. seems opposite of most customer service approaches i know, but hey, maybe blue is on to something and college kids will be doing case studies on this new approach in the future 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting with the season pass deadline dates changing, then stating limited quantities, now announcing a closing day and then moving it forward, closing for clouds the day before the season ends. I just hope the sale of the place doesn't jeopardize the TP4 statue. We have been working so hard since the pope visit to get that back in motion and I would hate to see it putter out again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take all of us as an example. For me, personally, shit would have to be egregious. Let's say, hypothetically, that ski patrollers took a photo of me skiing fast on Paradise and hung it in a secret room on the second floor of their patroller shack at the base of main street, where they would use my photo for dart tournaments. I'd probably make some excuse like "well the patrollers need something for their dart playing" and re-up on the pass because at the end of the day I'm not buying a peak pass and skiing nights at BB. Not getting a pass at CB and not getting a pass at Bear Creek... unless, again, they did something really bad. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
