At the Vail-owned Stevens Pass ski area in Washington, 46,360 people signed a petition saying they were “disgusted with the mismanagement of the ski area, the failure to treat employees well, or pay them a livable wage, and the failure to deliver the product we all paid for.”
At Stowe, Vt., on a powder day last winter, I sat for 45 minutes in a on the two-lane Mountain Road while trying to reach Stowe Mountain Resort.
I gave up and went backcountry skiing instead.
