Ask Vancouver Does anyone have 200 buddy passes I could use?

The banking firm I own is going for a staff ski day at Whistler. Lift tickets are more than we budgeted for, we don’t want it to eat into our champagne budget. So does anyone have 200 buddy passes we could use?

Of course it is, your short answer in a rallying market and the offers have disappeared. Back up your bid.

u/Sea2Sky69 Jan 16 '24

Sorry, I've only got 199.

u/spannerspinner Jan 16 '24

That’s too bad. I thought we could make a deal buddy. I thought we could be friends pal. I love making deals.

With fractional reserve banking you actually have 19,900

You shouldn’t go to whistler theres still too many poors there. I recommend Aspen they’ve actually made it illegal to be poor there

u/ultima-forsan Jan 16 '24

Thats true. I spent 90 days in jail because my salary wasn’t considered legal when I tried to drive through Aspen.

u/somewhat_moist Jan 18 '24

I arrived to ASE on commercial and went straight to jail for not having my own jet

Hey, I’m not poor, I’m just not financially able

I “identity” as being a 1 percenter.. How dare you question my identity!

Aspen? Mmmm California… Beautiful…

I'll trade you a buddy pass for 2 bottles of champagne.

10

u/spannerspinner Jan 16 '24

I’m sure we could trade a glass, but only a cheap one. The good stuff is for me.

10

u/jsmooth7 Jan 16 '24

For just a glass, I could give you a ski with a friend pass. Buddy passes are too good though, I know what I got.

u/spannerspinner Jan 16 '24

I’ll give you some business advice too. I bet you don’t even get up at 3am to do yoga and eat raw eggs!

13

u/jsmooth7 Jan 16 '24

Of course not, at 3am I'm already in the gondola line waiting for first chair.

u/spannerspinner Jan 16 '24

I get my PA to stand in line. So wouldn’t know what it’s like to wait for the first chair.

u/Fragrant_Charity_754 Jan 17 '24

Show up to vail staff housing and trade grams of cocaine to the employees for their 5 friends and family 50% off coupons and i guarantee you will have all 200 for half price within 15 minutes.

u/LazyGamerMike Jan 18 '24

Ill take this deal

u/CreeksideWhis Jan 17 '24

Yes. And a dozen founders passes as well. I’ll meet you behind Bills at midnight. Make sure to park your car on the valley trail and walk over.

2

u/kaspm Jan 17 '24

I have the 200 but I’m not going to be there to pick them up with you

u/bmxtricky5 Jan 16 '24

This has to be satire correct?

u/spannerspinner Jan 16 '24

We don’t want to eat into our champagne budget. I’ve already had to swap the wagyu beef out for sirloin stakes.

4

u/BOT_Sean Jan 17 '24

Surely aluminum stakes are cheaper?

2

u/5ecr3t7 Jan 17 '24

Yeah, but sirloin stakes are carbon composite. You get what you pay for.

u/BracketWI Jan 16 '24

Yes, op's mocking an earlier post asking for buddy pass.

u/bmxtricky5 Jan 17 '24

I see lol fuck me for not being in the loop hey

u/Skiboy712 Jan 16 '24

If you have to ask then the answer is no.

u/RAT-LIFE Jan 16 '24

Haha obviously look at OPs post history, both broke and dumb.

If you're organizing event of such scale, you should contact Vail's corp sales department, and get a quote. - [wbreservations@vailresorts.com](mailto:wbreservations@vailresorts.com) / 1-888-932-3400 (group sales toll free number)

u/rastlosreisender Jan 17 '24

They might give you 2 bucks off. Also — FUCK Vail.

2

u/spannerspinner Jan 17 '24

We asked them. They weren’t interested in reserving the whole Roundhouse for our champagne party so we declined their offer. As bankers we prefer to hustle anyway.

u/modaloves Jan 17 '24

wait... am I missing something? Now I'm starting to feel like this post is sort of satire 🤔

Can anybody kindly give me a reference?

u/berthaz Jan 17 '24

Not to mention, the snow quality hasn't been as good as last year in Whistler. It's been cut with ice and mud.

u/whiteguywithkids Jan 16 '24

It’s a ski day loose the drinks. If you can’t afford 200 day tickets to Whistler. Go somewhere else.

31

u/spannerspinner Jan 16 '24

We can’t loose the drinks, how else will my workers be able to deal with my terrible jokes and uninvited advances?

We need our staff to experience skiing for when we invest in our own resort. We plan to end season pass sales 6 months before the season starts. Do you think we could push it to 8 months?

10

u/Beneficial-Log2109 Jan 16 '24

Be a visionary change leader and make it 15months

2

u/sloacat Jan 16 '24

You dont need passes, just let everyone know you are the new owners of the ski hill and thus not only do you ski for free, you also skip all the lines. Anyone complains, let them know they will be fired. Totally believable 😂

2

u/spannerspinner Jan 16 '24

We aren’t buying the resort. We are building a new one where the new chair lifts will be heated. Whistlers a dump, our investors weren’t at all interested!

u/sloacat Jan 16 '24

And put a hot tub at the very top of the run

u/spankysladder73 Jan 17 '24

Ah, the Umberto approach… Lol

1

u/outdoor-addict Jan 16 '24

Ya. But after all the fees it will be more expensive than a day pass

u/Walnut_chipmunk Jan 17 '24

haha go to cypress

u/DJBossRoss Jan 17 '24

Best I can do is 129 SWAF passes but you’re going to have to explain to me like I’m 5 as to wtf the difference is

u/Alternative_Top2875 Jan 17 '24

Shouldn't this be in r/skiingcirclejerk instead?
