Letter: Vail Resorts carpooling incentive program should be more flexible

'I would suggest WB monitor the situation to see if it can amend the requirement to allow carpools with three people'

Whistler Blackcomb is offering free parking to vehicles with four or more occupants at select times as part of a trial program this ski season.

Re: Vail Resorts’ new carpooling requirement for Lot 7 and Creekside’s P1 at Whistler Blackcomb (WB), I have to say that I am rather upset about this new requirement, mostly because I do carpool—but my car is only big enough to accommodate three people with gear, hence I am not eligible.  

I would suggest WB monitor the situation to see if it can amend the requirement to allow carpools with three people. More importantly, I found the description of applicable days a little bit confusing. To make very clear which days are restricted, WB should publish on its website a calendar that clearly red-lines all applicable days so skiers can easily identify which days are subject to the carpooling requirement.
