I've been skiing here for 30 years. And for those 30 years, if they had night skiing, Big Chief would be lit up and running. Now that Vail has bought our precious little commodity, they have decided it is in the best interest of the stock holders to only light up Chief on Friday and Saturday nights. This is an absolute outrage, and I can only hope and pray that it is not permanent. Some have said it was due to "staffing issues". Well, maybe if they didn't replace the automated turnstiles that used to reside at the chairlifts and replace them with employees scanning our badges like they did in the 80s, there might not be the "staffing issue" that is basically making me lose my s****. Night skiing is awesome. Don't screw it up.
