He used to drive Sp0ck into a frenzy, back when all you people were good
and decent.

I thought it was a nicely crafted troll though. I'd give it six points.

Most resorts sell beer, but I rarely imbibe pendant-skiing beers. On a
few occasions, I've skied with large groups of people (family or club)
and we've had lunch beers and jocular conversation. But on such
occasions it's a group-thing and most skiing occurs on blue groomers
and we gather at the lift and wait for stragglers. I couldn't imagine
going to the resort by myself and drinking enough to blow a .14 then
hitting the slopes. Your local ski area must seriously lack terrain
challenge if this is what you need to do to make it interesting.

Has any one ever had experience getting there money back for a
season pass after its been pulled? My local resort yanked my pass
for skiing while intoxicated, then called the sheriffs office and
tried to have me arrested for a DWI, and trespassing since I
refused to leave until they gave me a disposition in writing, but
since I wasn't driving the sheriff simply gave me a ride home. I
wasn't skiing out of control nor was I a hazard (I've skied
intoxicated more than sober in my life), but I did get nasty with a
resort employee when he asked to see my pass, and blew a .14 when
the five-0 tested me. It seems almost pointless to hire a shyster
to represent me @ $300 and hour when the price of the season pass
was only $399, but I still want my $399 back since my pass was
revoked for the season. So any way..........has anyone ever
actually received a refund for a season pass after it was pulled,
and how did you convince the Nazi's at the resort to give you back
your cash?

I'd have to really doubt that there is a state law concerning skiing
while intoxicated. And to charge you with DWI, you'd of have to have
been driving a vehicle. The main thing I would look at is the fine
print for your pass. I think that they actually own it. But I also
think that you should be able to make some sort of deal with them
this early on in the season. What area is it?

Topher,
Why are they Nazi's if you were the one who wasn't sober and they way you
were behaving drew negative attention to yourself?

Why don't you start with a letter of apology to the resort and politely
request a last chance to ski responsibly.

Then if they don't agree, spend a few dollars to have an attorney request on
their letterhead, a refund. The resort might grant the refund to get rid of
you and spare the expense of using their in house attorney to argue with
your attorney.

If I had money to risk, I'd bet a paycheck that you wounldn't stand a chance
in small claims court; and you would end up owing some court costs as well.

So hard that the OP hasn't answered any questions or incoherently flamed
anyone who criticised him. Nothing but a lingering smell of troll.
I can't wait to tell our trip organiser about the law against skiing
under the influence: if he wants to go there he'll be going on his own!
