Vail resorts sucks. They've destroyed one mountain community after another by raping the land, exploiting the towns and it's people then leaving a mess behind. They took the town of Breckenridge which was an affordable, cool little mountain town and turned it into an over crowded, expensive place with tons of traffic which has been poorly managed at the expense of all the people who loved living there. They exploited and destroyed the land simply for profit. They've grown and continue to grow the resort further and further out into untouched wild land simply to reap the benefits of increasing surrounding land values. What a joke. This company may have started from humble beginnings as a great and honorable venture between returning WWII vets that truly changed the landscape of the ski industry and especially the economy for the state of Colorado. However, it's been hijacked by corporate greed and lost all of it's soul, taking the soul of many mountain communities with it. Disgusting. How can a company claim to care about the communities it basically rules over when they picked up stakes and left those very communities? How can you understand the needs and concerns of Vail or Breckenridge when you are running an operation from Denver? What a joke. read more
