The ski-lift line at Vail Ski Resort in Colorado on the morning of Feb. 7, 2020 was absolutely insane. The next morning, even worse. Head to the skiing subreddit to get a good look. Some refer to the ski line as the “lift line apocalypse” after the 17-inch snow dump. I wouldn’t be surprised if the line was at least one kilometre long.
To make matters worse, a day-pass lift ticket at Vail is $209. And that’s 209 American dollars, which is equal to about 278 Canadian dollars. Many of these people probably only got to do one run in the entire day. Money well spent.
The moral of the story here is to avoid massive ski mountains and definitely avoid them on the weekend. Hit up Manning Park or Sasquatch Mountain for your skiing needs this reading break. They’re nearby and have much cheaper day passes.
