I wonder what Fiddlehead thinks about this. Or do they not care what happens once they are paid for it

They don't care nor can they do anything about it with the 3 tier system. Once they're paid for the product it is out of their hands.

Not sure - we have a report of $16.75 for Fiddlehead, $13.xx for Long Trail and I think the Kona ale thing was $13.xx too (maybe priced on the same tier as Long Trail)

You must be a paid shill for POWDR. I will never knock Mike or other local management but you and the corporate masters in Utah can all go f yourselves. You have destroyed our culture of the last 40 years.

$13 for a 16oz can of Fiddlehead IPA at K-1.

$13 for 16oz can of Foley Brothers Lager at the Wobbly.

Time to get a job at the mountain to support my habit.

If a Fiddlehead can was $13, i got overcharged. Paid $16.75 (before tip) at one of the outside stands at the Fireworks on Friday evening.

$9.75 for a Fiddle at Jiminy (Christianson's) on opening day. Nothing on the menu was particularly cheap, but $10 now feels like a steal compared to $16.75.
$5 for a Sip of Sunshine at Sugarbush opening day. That draws a crowd.

Really????? They are like $18 at my local store. Almost worth driving to Stowe.

At the owner"s meeting at The Grand Mike gave a little presentation. Someone brought up the price of beer at Preston's and a guy who was on the panel (sorry I do not remember his name, someone pretty high up in administration) said that the price of alcohol was on par with other high end resorts "outside of Vermont". Thought that was a strange quote for sure.

I think $16.75 is the going price at K for Fiddle.

Can verify the $13'ish Long Trail and $11.25 Bud Light prices this weekend. I don't think the prices were raised for WC but I could be wrong.

Not sure what people don't understand about Law of Supply and Demand. I think K understands it !

Don't pay it. If people stop buying overpriced drinks, it will hit their bottom line and they will have to do something about it. There are plenty of places on the access road that serve beverages at reasonable prices.
