i hope you will reconsider. i agree with your thoughts and beliefs and think most of us on the board do. for example, i see all the stuff on gold parking, but was happy to fork over the $10 for a front row spot at 815am (amazing) as i only ski about 12 days a year at gore and the $10 is no biggie for me and if it goes back into the mountain, that's great. i think for the most part, the people who work at gore are friendly and try their best to provide great service. most of the complaints are about things that the people in the trenches can't do much about. please stick around and keep promoting the positives of gore - there are a ton of them
