Terrible experience. Especially with officer T. Schroeder. My friend sold me a night ski pass because he left early. I thought this was fine. Little did I know this apparently is larceny? Fine my mistake. But Schroeder told me it wasn t his problem and they proceeded to fine me for a day pass costing $140 even though I was using a night ski pass worth half that. I know. Makes total sense. Talked to one of the servers in the restaurant and he/she admitted pretty freely that they ve bribed lift operators with alcohol and used other friends passes all the time at ski bowl and other places, but apparently an honest mistake warrants jail time and a bail amount of $10,000 at Meadows. Ridiculous. The only text to warn about this is behind the pass itself in 6-8 point font. It s in bold font though, so I ll give them that. No sign anywhere to be seen in the lobby or at the clerk desk. No where. Asked Officer Schroeder why that was and he told me it wasn t his problem. Well, you can understand why I probably won t be coming back here any time soon. Also didn t appreciate the shady behavior of the lift operators who lied to me telling me that the ticket could be transferred to me and that the officers weren t there to arrest me even though that s exactly what they threatened me with and no such transfer option existed. They just assumed that I was going to run for some reason? And that manipulating me was appropriate behavior.
