Lifties plan sit-in over buying their own tickets

Well not quite but when I lived in Les 2 Alpes in France and worked  in a hotel owned by the family who also owned the lift system – guess how much off the season card? 0% reduction was the sensational deal the staff were offered. It is a few years ago now but I am sure that was the worst ski deal I will ever encounter. I lived in British Columbia, Canada a few years ago and the ticket policy there was odd but slightly better than 2 Alpes. Here is an idea to the lift companies – give the resort workers a ‘free’ pass. And by free I mean without cost – because here is the angle – for every person these workers serve food or drinks to, for every room they clean and share a few words with the guest in the lift, they can talk about their day on the mountain and how good it was. That for the guest is invaluable interaction on a ski or snowboard holiday.
