Although I am disappointed that there is not much more up hill capacity and the line is still to long I am loving the nice warm chair! Thanks for a great pipe.

We will be working on Rimrock, and South Face trails become more of an option as we look for places to make snow when the temperatures rise on the lower mountain. It will also be a place for us to make snow during the Holidays. So the answer is it is a priority, but not a high priority.<br /><br />Bruce SchmidtOkemo1-2https://www.blogger.com/profile/12452140844381199497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489894306048879661.post-72966512569228349762012-12-11T16:03:04.974-05:002012-12-11T16:03:04.974-05:00What kind of priority is the South Face?

Our new Take 60 program is good all day and not just the first hour. This gives those who honestly don’t feel the skiing or riding is what they were expecting that day, an option to return for another day. 2., Let’s be honest, people were abusing the generosity that Okemo was showing. There were some who would use the first hour as their ski time for the day and then leave. They had no intention of ever paying for a lift ticket and in some cases, would push the issue and continue skiing until their ticket was checked. It became apparent that the real intent of guest service was not working. While our new program may not be embraced by all, we do feel that more guests are receiving better guest service.<br /><br />As for the ski shop program, Okemo made a decision to revamp the program and try to make the program more equitable. Our ski shop partners are important to Okemo and it is a partnership. Change is not always easy. Most ski shops understood the changes were necessary. We do not expect the ski shops to give our employees free items or services and most ski shop employees realize that the program we have in place is fair and works for both businesses.<br /><br />Your comment about Okemo "alienating the people who live here and ski here for years and also Okemo not wanting locals to access the mountain and only having families from out of state:", is totally wrong and quite frankly insulting. I understand the local quandary. I grew up in this town. It is all about balance. Okemo works hard at providing a top quality ski resort and this costs money. As a business, it is our responsibility to do what we can to keep our employees employed, help the town and citizens as a neighbor and work towards making money to put back into the resort. While you and others may disagree, I feel Okemo does provide options and those options do not mean everything will be for free.<br /><br />BruceOkemo Mountain Resorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537794147781066429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489894306048879661.post-52894444575813743142012-11-08T08:26:21.033-05:002012-11-08T08:26:21.033-05:00Many options?
