That&#8217;s being human. Wouldn&#8217;t you expect the biggest ski operator in the world to do the same thing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nope. Vail announced that you can cancel trips but they won&#8217;t refund your money. Instead, they will apply money spent to a future travel date within the next year. That&#8217;s bullshit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, you may not want to come to Park City because we have had cases of Covid-19 here. However, there are other reasons related to Covid-19 could be impacting visitors. Your business may have been impacted. Your hours could be down. Your stock portfolio may have dropped 20%. You may no longer be able to afford it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I get that Vail is a business. They can&#8217;t be stupid. However, they can be compassionate. They should be doing what Deer Valley is doing. 100% refunds &#8212; no questions asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This soon will pass. Yes, earnings will be down, but they are going to be anyway. Be good to the people who want to come ski at our resorts. That&#8217;s being a part of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/vail-628x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8195\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier I wrote about Deer Valley&#8217;s 100% refund policy on trips with 24 hours notice due to the Corona Virus pandemic.
