barryj Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Anybody been in this situation? I paid the $50 deposit before I found out my work out West was done...........On East coast now in Northern NH, so really don't see myself traveling.... to even Vermont to get the use out of this pass. They have tried to finalize the $800 payment but I purposely kept that cc account almost empty to avoid this. What's the possible fallout? Does anybody know if Vail Resorts would send it to collections over $800?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekempmeister Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Hi Barry. I have the pass and I take the insurance that is offered. I have no experience making any claims but I do know that bullet point #7 regarding job related relocation looks like the closest thing that might apply to you, provided your pass is insured. I am NOT a lawyer but I think that normally one is better positioned if they are attempting to recover monies paid than if they are attempting to absolve a debt that is contractually owed and past due. I hope it works out for you. Good season to you. Edited November 28, 2018 by davekempmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteHorse Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Did you try calling them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the replies guys. No I didn't take the pass Ins. when I made the early season deposit last May..... Very hesitant to call Vail Resorts when I read stories like this..... this guy has a life threatening excuse and they still expect him to pay! I just have a geographical and financial excuse! https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/contact7/cancer-patient-too-sick-to-ski-still-must-pay-season-pass-bill-vail-resorts-says https://unofficialnetworks.com/2018/07/31/vail-resorts-wont-stop-charge-on-cancer-patients-899-epic-pass-because-he-didnt-buy-pass-insurance/ Edited December 2, 2018 by barryj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 From what I know of working with a US office, they'll totally send you to collections. It costs them nothing to do so, the collection company gets paid if and when they recover. Sounds like the best choice you might have is to pay up, and then see if you can flog it to someone. Is it a direct to lift kind of deal? Because even with a photo on it, when I use my season pass here, the lifties never check it - as long as it scans they don't care. You could probably find a dirtbag willing to take the chance and pay you half price for it. It's better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmorita Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 I would be surprised to hear that they could not work something out if you called. Maybe a credit for a subsequent season or a partial refund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryj Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yeah, It seems my only recourse is to pay it......... or cancel my cc and go into a witness protection program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
