Ok, well, if you allow day of cancellation then I am fine with charging people for no-shows (or some other penalty). But you have to allow no-penalty day-of cancellation.

Of course this only matters if the resorts are actually limiting. Just because they require reservations does not prove they have a cap. Don’t really trust Vail to be honest. Not sure about these ikon resorts.
So I made some Aspen Snowmass Reservations but then Im left scratching my head how this works to control numbers at any mountain because they arent mountain specific. So snowmass gets more snow and every IKON reservations holder goes there on the same day??

Steamboat took away the Gondola square cam, would be poor PR to see just how long the lines will be. It wasn't working out for them last year when there was no covid, the lines still went out the the bus transit station on most pow mornings and certainly on weekends, esp after they stopped letting people wait inside the gondy building (which was a stupid move to begin with).
They also put a disclaimer on their webpage that cue times may be enacted on certain days. This will go over like a fart in church.
Steamboat just announced delay of opening into December.
^^^ I think they should all do that and plead with people to get this more under control (whatever that means these days) before opening.
The industry is probably lazer focused on Xmas week. If they don't get that, the whole thing could come crashing down into closures.
Steamboat's gondola-centric approach has never made sense to me.
sure, I get the point of the gondola. But Steamboat's gondola is the primary way to get on the hill (there are other ways but it really is the main/only one). If they offered another base area high speed option to get somewhere decent on the mountain, it would provide a release valve for when the gondola is jammed (or god forbid down).
Noticed A basins base cam is down for maintenance and it had me wondering a little bit
This is true but the new gondola is pretty sweet. Way higher capacity now. Covid will make it more of a pain but even when the line is huge it moves pretty fast now especially if use the singles line. Covid who knows everything is going to be slower if we even have a season
Way way slower.
Anyone work at Alterra HQ and brave enough to PM me to admit it?
