Vail has been doing it all along for $3 for all employees...including the Grey Poupon.

 

[Ron]

steamboat was charging $3., now its free....

 

[Blue Streak]

Yeah. I read that.
But Vail has better food

 

[Blue Streak]

But I give the edge to Aspen for food on the hill.

 

[Muleski]

Isn't Aspen doing it for their enployees who have not started? Thought I heard that a couple of weeks ago. Maybe on PugSki? It's all good. Makes a difference.

Sun Peaks used to feed staff a bowl of soup (canned or a powder mix) and a small bun. This year with expanded food outlets, a new head chef and new menu with items $10-$16Cdn staff get 25% off on non working days or free mild curry beans, or stew, or bbq chicken or whatever the day's special in a rice bowl and large bun. The menu item portions are huge which just means they are standard sized American portions.

Free vs $3 of "better food"! Hmmm... such a hard choice.

Place I worked back in the stone age gave us $3 in tickets for each day/shift and we got a 20% discount on everything whether using those tickets or cash to pay. $3 could buy a burger, fries, and a drink at the lodge back in the early 1980s. They're only giving $3-$5 at today's lodge food prices???

 

[Ron]

no, they are giving meals for $3, not 3 off.

 

[Tricia]

At Northstar we had 1/2 off meals on the mountain except between the hours of noon and 2.
Once a week they had a really good meal in the evening for all employees for $3. They usually posted a menu ahead of time so you know what you're getting.
I never seemed to take advantage of the evening meals because I was either working or at home, eating my own food.

 

[drewski]

with the wages they pay, a free meal is well deserved!!

 

[Read Blinn]

Hm. Maybe just pay a living wage?

Ok, ok. Sorry.

Hm. Maybe just pay a living wage?

Ok, ok. Sorry.

This was meant for seasonal employees who weren't working yet due to the lack of work caused by lack of snow.

Ah.
