  Perhpas they would get more business if they would also cut prices. Everywhere I go this year prices ae up which with the current economy seems like shooting yourself in the foot.

  Been about 6 to 7 years since I've been to Vail and I can't even imange the prices today. Back then I got a hotdog, chips, cookie, and soda at one of the resturants on the hill and it was $18. Today it won't surprise me if its $22+. Then the lift tickets are out of this world. Peeves you off when the local season pass cost a tad more then your 3 day pass. At least that is what a local told me when we shared a lift and runs a few times. Though I will admit Vail is one hell of a great ski area.
  
  But its not only Vail at what point do some of these places need to say enough is enough on prices. I'm willing to bet many people didn't go too many big resorts this year just because of prices and that is why there all hurting. Even there specials they run aren't that hot. The package is 3K and they take $100 off, whoppieeeeeeeeeee.

  I have been to many "big resorts" and if you don't support them you will lose them. Flip burgers or whatever and
  deal with it, don't need the crying. Perhaps it's best for me if you leave the pow alone. Stay home!
