When I ski at vail I dont worry about what it costs. I use my equity line of credit. My last trip cost just above $25 K. Three days and one of those it rained. I bought three pairs of skis and quite foolishly left them at the bottom of the hill when I left.

I laughed so hard I fell off my breakfast bench. But seriously, squirrel meat and a shotgun shell would never get you more than a 10 trip ticket for the T-Bar at Labrador Mt

I'd love to see some more humorous skiing satire articles like this one! Although I'm embarrassed to admit just how far I got into the article before I realized it was satire... The state of skiing at Vail's flagship resorts, and Vail's business plans aren't very far off from this article!

So vail will be out of the business in five years. Too bad so sad. Dont care.

Maybe some of the old family owned areas will make a come back.

That would be nice.
