Vail Resorts is working to make skiing a subscription model. They started this effort a few years ago and have done it by increasing daily lift ticket prices. For example, a single day pass at the window at Vail is something like $200+ but a season pass is $800-1,100.

The question is how likely are they to convert to sales.

Personally, I don’t agree with this and know many successful entrepreneurs who don’t either. People like to play this stoic, “speak softly, carry a big stick,” persona where they disappear and keep their cards close to their chest until they’re successful.

However, your probability of success increases greatly the more people who know what you’re doing. The more networking, feedback, etc. you can gather the better. Generally, people like to help other people.

By being vocal with your issues/challenges, someone else may know someone who has solved it before or can help you.

A friend of a friend could be your next partner, mentor, investor, customer, etc.

Just my two cents!
