    Any coloraggots NEED a vail day or two?

    I've got 6 vail days left, and I don't think I'll get to use all of them (not sure I have any reason to do so). I'll probably use one this upcoming week and maybe 1 or 2 before closing, which leaves an additional 3 days on my pass up for grabs.

    If you're in or around Boulder and want some vail days, shoot me a PM. The sharing worked for another mag last year.

    Word on the street is that all of April is unlimited this year if youve had a pass for multiple years. At least thats what a liftie told me last time I was up there a few weeks ago, maybe its for everyone though, anyone know whats up with this?

    I think you only get the unlimited Vail April days if you renewed your pass last spring...I think.

    formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.

    Try to give 'em to someone who wasn't a prick to you.

    So DeepDays how are you planning on passing those days "up for grabs" on.
    It's on your personal pass, correct?
    You can't just sent it by mail or something??!
    How did the other mag share those days last year?

    They have really cracked down on pass-sharing lately. They are busting people left and right at all the VR's. Vail Employees get money for every fraudulant pass they get.

    So unless you look exactly like Max and know all his personal information by heart you might not want to borrow his pass. Max is famous up here so you better have a lot of scars, cause they WILL want to see them!

    i played my cards right and only have 2 days left at vail/bc. i told myself early in the season i needed to take advantage of the good snow days and go to vail or bc, and now that the snow has been shit for the last two weeks with no sign of any relief i'm glad that I used my days. it would be great to see a big april snow for a weekend or two, but it sure is looking like the transition to spring has begun.

    I heart Chair 5 corn harvests!

    Max I would think twice about giving it to anyone. Folks are right when the say VA is cracking down on people using others passes. But then again I will tell you that many, many lift ops these days are in "the who gives a fuck the season is almost over mode" Your call, but I would advise against it.

    I still think this is complete BS, and just propaganda by the resorts. I have skied around 30 days this year, 20 or so at Vail Resorts, and neither I nor anyone I'm skiing with have ever had their pass checked. As long as you look something like the person, are the same sex, and aren't an idiot, you'll be fine.

    this being said, I don't condone pass-sharing at all.

    Hey big boy.

    Kidding. Yeah I wonder how many people still get the joke. That thread has long been over, and like Telehoar I am starting to think about something new but have not put the effort forth.



    edit: but I wish brock would get off his ass and change his! Ouch!

    All the days I'm willing to give up have been claimed.

    Thanks for playing!

    (And I beleeb I can play the "oh, shit, my pass was stolen, and I haven't been skiing in weeks, so I haven't noticed!" card. At any rate, one of the days has been claimed by a mag who has helped me out in the past, so I'd be more than happy to give it to him.)

    On a semi-related note, Nick > Jesus and I will be at Vail on Tuesday. If anyone would like to join, just say the word. I'll be out of internet access until then, so PM Nick if you would like to meet up.

    Bump. From some horror stories I've heard since this thread, I'd kinda rather not give up the days now. Matt, I still owe you beers or some other kind of favor.
