As fellow skiers/riders.. or just someone that has ever felt like that paid for a service/product and feels they didn't get quite what they paid for... I ask for your support.
Yep, true.. after having one of their best holiday sales periods ever... selling out the better part of the last month on all weekends and around 15 straight days during the holidays, they close the entire East resort (more than half their acreage) midweek as a "business decision" to save money. I was up there all last week, and the coverage is excellent. I was told directly today that is why they are closing.
What does Big Bear/Summit do midweek? They offer $5 - $10 vouchers to come up and ride midweek to get business. They don't shut down. :roll:
Look, I understand it's a business. It's not crowded at East, and they have to watch their spending like everyone else right now... but when you pay for a service/product, and a large percentage of that service (within their control) is not provided, I think there is a problem. Nice way to treat your paying customers who are suffering just as much, if not likely much more than you! Not to mention, it's a real stretch to say this is included in their "disclaimer" to season pass holders. The entire East resort is accessible by one lift, fyi.
I'm sure some of you won't agree with my opinion, and that's fine.. but if you support the idea of getting a product you pay for, I'd appreciate a moment of your time to send off comment in support of keeping East open.
