FYI -
A couple weeks ago at the Beav, I stopped by an employee for a safety violation. I rednecked on him bigtime and blew my cool.
The employee reported the incident to his supervisor who then made the decision to take my pass for the remainder of the 03/04 season. I was lucky, that I didn't lose it for longer. I was removed from the mountain by security and ski patrol in front of friends, business associates and neighbors. It was only due to the security officer being understanding, that I wasn't lead off the hill in handcuffs. I apologize to any employees or guests that were involved or who were witnessing me losing my cool.
Rednecking on the employee was wrong and the worst possible way to handle the matter. Had I not gone redneck, I'd still have my pass. Instead, my rednecking cost me my pass. Needless to say, I wish I could go back to that moment.
Employees of ski areas, have the right to take your pass for safety violations and misconduct, to name some. Please take a few moments and read your pass agreement.
Employees of ski areas should be treated with dignity and respect. All skiers are to abide by the rules of their pass agreement or lift ticket. If at anytime you do have a disagreement with a ski area employee, I would recommend you contact their office and explain to them your disagreement. Arguing with ski area employees, or employees of any business, is the worst possible way to handle a disagreement.
Sincerely,
SCSA
