Summer pass at whistler pulled for no reason?

[Jon_Taffer]

So I'm in Whis until the 14th, hopefully was gonna ride the glacier everyday, but, this morning on the first chairlift up, we get stopped (group of 3) and the guy at the top asked for our passes. we had no idea what was going on. so he tells us that there was someone that saw us smoking on the lift and gave us a fire safety talk when we DIDNT SMOKE AT ALL. So now I can't ride. we spoke with guest services who said we would get a call. When this guy calls us, he was being rude about everything, won't listen at all to what we're saying and basically telling us were lying. He then proceeds to say "you guys are unique with your long hair" (I'm the only one in he group with long hair) and hung up. anyone else ever get passes pulled for no reason?

 

[elcornholio]

Call and when they give you lip, tell them you want to talk to their manager. When I was in Winter Park, I got my pass pulled for skiing a closed trail, that they forgot to close one of the entrances. Just insist that you hate all kinds of smoking (even if you don't) and that it's unfair to take your passes for no reason.

 

[eheath]

Id recommend going in and talking to a manager and not making a thread on ns.

 

[arnie_grape]

wow I'd be really pissed off

 

[Jon_Taffer]

Id recommend going in and talking to a manager and not making a thread on ns.

I did go in they told me the manager would call me, he did, told me I was lying and hung up. Will be there early tomorrow to cause a fuss

[tdollo]

fuck man that's shitty

And id recommend not being a prick for once

Let us know what went down when it happens

 

[arnie_grape]

don't let us down OP

this guy got his money back you can too

 

[Jon_Taffer]

Let us know what went down when it happens

Will do. I'm just mad at the long hair discrimination and how they can pull a pass with absolutely no evidence

What a prick. Was the manager the one who pulled your passes?

 

[Jon_Taffer]

Nope just the liftie. They actually stopped the lift so someone could come up on a buggy to meet us at the top

I wasn't I'm just saying going in is the way to go vs having them talking to you on the phone. Youre acting like you have zero options but you just need to go in and demand you talk to someone in a respectful way. If you stay calm and professional with them they will listen. It sounds like they currently have a bad image of you so like i said go in and show that you're not some degenerate and they'll help you out. If you're telling the truth you should be good to go.

When did I say I Had zero options? Like I said before I'm gonna go in early tomorrow to try and figure this out. I'm just kinda venting rn super mad at this whole situation even when I was polite in person and on the phone

You making this thread gave off that vibe.

I think you'll be okay, ive had situations where my friends/me got called out by ticket checkers at PC and we had a huge issue until the mountain manager got involved and he was super legit, he basically told all of the mid level management to fuck off and that we were go to go. Just get some higher management involved and you'll be okay, those lower level ticket/office people are usually cunts.

Just wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience

 

[.HERO]

best of luck dude, I would be pissed just take to them and I'm sure it will work out

 

[Adam.Guare]

Good luck dude, like others in this thread suggested, just stay calm and professional

you have a real way with people dontchya haha

You handled everything up to this point like an angry teenager so what could you really expect, right? if you honestly dont know how to handle the situation from here on out, then you dont deserve the pass back.

If you do decide to go HAM at the manager make sure your videotape it for Worldstar, NS, and the police!

Like I said earlier I showed nothing but respect towards the managers and employees. I posted this here to see if anyone else had similar experiences and also to vent, I'll admit I was mad when I made the thread and the reply towards eheath but the employees did not want to listen and I was mad that I payed over $400 to be wrongly accused and possibly not be able to ski for over half my trip

so you acted like a typical disingenuous, degenerate shit head. That's in the past. the only question now is how good are your people and sales skills?

Dont be a disingenuous, degenerate shithead and see where that takes you! At least that should be a start!

Again, if you do pull some white-boy hood shit on that honky manager make sure to film it all!

 

[fghtoffyrdmns]

This sounds like some fuckboi shit on whis's part

 

[SkrrtKobain]

Wow u got fucked over I've smoked hundreds of times at whis with no issues

 

[CHU-TANG_CLAN]

damn man thats terrible. hopefully that manager gets a fuck ton of bad karma. i would see if you can talk to someone else I'm guessing since whistler is so big it has multiple managers or other people that are high up and would listen

 

[Ron.Burgundy]

eheath is just kind of a prick, also whistler is a prick.

On another note, I am stoked whis and people in general are getting a zero tolerance mind set when it comes to forest fires. BC is getting raped right now with flames.

 

[EvanMeyer]

you can get a pass pulled for smoking on the lift? thats the most asinine thing i've ever heard.

 

[eheath]

I mean it's a rule... Especially in the summer when fire danger is a big issue. They run sprinklers under the lifts just in case some jackass does break the rules and tosses a butt.

 

[FettySwap]

Wtf was there even a sign that said no safety?

 

[Download-My-Apps]

This is the first I've heard of it being done at Whistler. Probably because of the forest fires going on everywhere in BC.

 

[michael.knapp.10]

one time i was at this ski area and there was woods to ski and everyone was going in there so i figured it was ok so i did and they were alright . Little did i know it was an achient forest thousands of years old. When i got to the bottom of the mountain some agro ski instructor started yelling at me for no reason and said that i was HURTING THE FOREST BY SKIING ON IT???? how does that even make sense so he wrote "woods skiing" on the pass not pulling it but he was such a douchebag about it for no reason

 

[Jon_Taffer]

Yeah, i wouldn't have minded as much if we were actually smoking but it's bullshit they can pull without proof

You can leave NS

 

[nolaan]

+vibes. I hope it works out bruh!

 

[McLS]

Will do. I'm just mad at the long hair discrimination and how they can pull a pass with absolutely no evidence

threaten to sue (doesn't matter if you weren't smoking, if they don't have proof they have no right), threaten to tell the whole world how bad this is and more say you're making it personal and will personally see that those guys get fired (including manager) for making you miss a few hours of skiing and insulting you with discriminatory terms. Remember, you're a law student (hopefully you haven't told them what you do, otherwise your dad is judge and your mom is a lawyer). Ask for a refund for that day as a courtesy too. Seriously, if you're in the right, you can push this thing far.

I've used the i'm a law student a lot, works everytime (if you're right obviously).

BTW, wtf, you guys can't smoke on chairlifts?? HAAAAhahahahaaaa in france people be blazing while shredding the park, the mountain is off justice for that kinda shit xD

What, did I hit a little too close to home?

 

[californiagrown]

This thread is about whistler. Whistler is Australian. Cunt is an Australian term of endearment.

Thanks buddy, I like to think so too.

Cheers cunts!!

whistler has passed new resort-wide no smoking rules
http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/about-us/smoke-free

100% smoke free on any whistler blackcomb property as of may 31st 2015, so if they catch you, i would assume that pass pulling is the resulting consequence.

OP i would firmly assert that it was not you who was smoking, but good luck getting your pass back

Op got stoned/drunk and decided to go to the lake today instead. Maybe he'll try again tomorrow, maybe he won't.

I really hope you weren't serious about this

 

[californiagrown]

I really hope you weren't serious about this

Obviously you dont live there. Anyone who spends an extended amount of time there can confirm that Australia invaded, and has made it a territory.

 

[cobra_commander]

Maybe get a hair cut..

 

[.Hugo.]

Ya i bet youre telling us every detail exactly how it happened. Youre were probably acting like a jackass disrespectful teenager. Respect gets respecy, period. If you were being respectful to the manager he would not have hung up on you. Quit smoking, get a haircut and get a real job. Clean your act up and dont be a slob

Actually i spent most of my day in the village yesterday trying to get this pass back, we got in contact with the 'witness' who confirmed it was not us smoking on the lift And ended up getting the pass back. So ya, I was telling every detail as it happened

Glad you got your pass back.

 

[grilled_steeze]

Tell him to stop talking over you and make him listen. tell him that you werent smoking, and just because you have long hair it doesnt mean you get into trouble or smoke. ask for your pass back, and if he doesnt give it to you, then you get really loud and start a fuss. dont forget to include the fact that your word is just as strong as the person who falsely reported you, so ask why the manager believes the other group of people and not you. file a discrimination report with local police if need be. i agree, it was totally unjust.
