Default Avoid Snow Valley

They say a company's culture is a reflection of the attitudes of its
management. The management at Snow Valley (near Big Bear) are one
bunch of stiffnecked losers. They've got this guy, named "Chuck", who
is supposedly in charge of maintenance. He runs around all day on his
snowmobile grabbing employees and pushing them around. They can't hire
fast enough to replace the employees that quit. Real bad attitudes
everywhere.

They just came out of bankruptcy last year and stiffed all the local
vendors by paying them only 20 cents on the dollar of what they were
owed. It's a roll of the dice to buy a season ticket there.

Once you've driven that far from LA, why does anyone stop there instead
of continuing on for another half hour to Big Bear? One of my chains
broke there, but surely that can't be everybody's reason.

Half an hour? Only if you're caught behind a Lost Angelino... But I
hadn't heard anything so bad about Snow Valley and I am glad to know,
subject to verification, etc. I drive up from Lake Arrowhead, and I see
Snow Valley's lift towers from my decks, so I usually think of them
first (lazy ass). What a bummer that they've hired a sociopath. Maybe
they don't need me as a telemark instructor, either.
