All you haters out there, suck it up. Seems like every local (Local?…I wonder which) thinks they should ski for free or for highly discounted rates. Does anyone have any idea of the costs of running a business that has less than a 4 month window to make money….remember, the old ski hill owner went bankrupt!!! Try to ride the lifts then.
If you don’t like it speak with your feet. Season’s passes at Ski Smithers are a mere $665 and you won’t be bothered by RCR there. Oh, but you will have to accept there are only 300 skiable acres compared to 2500 at FAR.
I do not agree with much of what RCR decides to do and I don’t understand the reasons behind their decisions. I say suck it up, realize that FAR is NOT a community ski hill any more and that all of us poor folks living in paradise eeking out a living are NOT their market! That is the facts folks. If you don’t like it, leave Fernie and go to the big city, earn a good living working in a office cubicle and you can afford the pass! If you don’t want this then buy some skins or snowshoes and start hiking up!
You wanna play, you gotta pay. See if RCR cares if you don’t buy a season’s pass.
Now, RCR sort some sh*t out and get some services on the mountain! One day they may figure out that the negative words of us locals will have an influence on the long run. Maybe. For now I am just tired of people complaining about the same stuff. You can always leave if you don’t like it. Meanwhile, catch me if you can, I will be riding the lifts with a smile on my face in 40 hours from now! Go Griz go!
