“Vail Resorts creates an artificial problem.”

This is obviously part of a corporate growth plan. Brilliant actually….create an artificial problem….then implement a solution that increases revenue. Customers don’t even realize they got had.

Step 1 – Discount season pass prices to encourage more people to buy passes

Step 2 – Create an artificial staff shortage to make it extra miserable for everyone

Step 3 – Implement a reservation system that limits how many season pass holders can visit each resort on any particular day. Create a new class of pass that gets priority reservations for $250 premium.

Step 4 – Increase the limit on season pass sales the following year since 20% of pass holders won’t be able to use their passes on peak holiday dates.

Step 5 – Rake in the cash.
