i just read thru the email link that Gore sent out concerning the season pass price deadline. here's what they list as new developement. some we knew.
Snowmaking on Sags.
Expansion and renovation of the Bowl's lodge. Season Passes good for afternoon and Twilight skiing. (day tickets also?)
Many Base lodge improvements...Ticketing, food service and retail.
Improved access to the base of the high speed Burnt Ridge Quad. :shock:
" We plan to feature a Bigger and Better Terrrain Park on a widened Wild Air." :shock: :shock:
notice the words "plan to " in that last statement. sounds like a definite maybe. :lol:
wish they'ld post some photos. maybe those of us who venture up that way can post some photos and any additional info, updates or thoughts.
***EDIT***
Also the payment plan on Full season passes is new.......BUT it comes with caveat that i feel people should be aware of for their financial protection. IF the card payment is declined or the card is cancelled during the payment period the purchaser will forfeit all previous payments toward the season pass! that's more than a little hard ball. one could lose $500 + on a computer glitch. consider this.......a local Cumberland Farms store here and their ATM, frequently rejects debit cards that have plenty of cash on them. immediately cross the street to another store and the sale goes thru. i've experienced it and seen it happen to others. Be Careful!
I see on the news that credit card companies are cancelling many, many accounts, even people with good credit and UP TO DATE payments. if that happens to you while on this payment plan.....you'll get screwed!
i found this info on Gore's downloadable application form. Whiteface is also offering the payment plan, but no downloadable form. as you navigate thru your purchase you'll have to sign off on " Whiteface conditions of purchase " it doesn't mention the forfeiture aspect.........BE CAREFUL.
this hardball approach by Gore is not warranted or cool. Especially for a State Agency. I've never heard of any other businesses doing this.
