Diablo rumor

^ that
Does anyone know if Shawn is taking the waterpark people with him along with the us open name and the season pass holders money
we cant get too greedy now
He took his waterpark girlfriend along with him to tahoe
Is that why he is called the hamburgler he steals burgers to feed that swine
Wait, seriously? Any half-way legit ski resort can handle ANY MTB event, if they want to that is. I'm sure there's about 5x as many people at northstar (or any big resort) on a typical ski weekend than there is people at say...Windham for their WC.

Did the Passburglar really abscond to Tahoe?
Ridemonkey has some units on the ground in that vicinity, I believe. These dudes are pretty handy with shovels.

Or just a great road trip
i paid for a season pass will it be honored?
From the sound of that post above, No. You paid one company (diablo) for a service but now that company is defunct, the new company (mountain creek bike park or whatever they will be called) is occupying the the old company's office (the mountain). The new company shouldn't be expected to honor any contracts (season passes) from the previous company, despite being in the same business and location.
::coolstorybro:: I worked in a bike shop that took over a location from another bike shop that used to have a free tune-up policy for bikes purchased from the shop. I had to tell 5-10 people per week that we couldn't honor the old store's policy because it was a different company. ::coolstorybro::
Sucks, but I would say the best thing to do for everyone who purchased a season pass is follow the instructions above to get a refund. The new ownership/management might have a whole different payment structure and pricy therefore they don't want to carry over any pricing from Diablo. Who knows, maybe you get a refund then get a season pass from the "new" park at a cheaper price.
I did contact my CC company, it seems like it is going to be a dead end.
Has anyone had luck being reimbursed?
I did send my info to Mountain Creek, so hopefully something does happen.
I am surprised that there is no talk of a class action against Diablo, or just more dialogue from disgruntled season pass buyers.

it all starts with one person. maybe you can be that one person.
bummer your CC company didnt help. did they say why??
I've never had a credit card company say no to this. The company is gone. They sold a product they will not deliver. You have proof, not sure why it would be a problem??
Only 60 days to file, they are still moving forward with contesting the charge.
I will let people know what does happen.
I might look into a class action although I am not an attorney.

I filed a claim about my Diablo charge with my CC company, and they have given me a "temporary credit" while they research the dispute. The money's already been refunded to my account, but this "temporary" business makes me a bit nervous. I'm not sure if the temporary money is a good sign that the dispute will be resolved in my favor or if it's just a courtesy they extend to all customers. In other words, I hope they don't invalidate my dispute and take the money back!
Transcend; I hope you ar right, as I bought a pass for my son as well.
I have a "temporary, pending research" credit as well. i know a few others who have the money back in their account too.

I wonder how many passes were pre sold?
Sean made off with alot of $$.
I would think the NJ attorney Gen. office would like to know about this.

I can't believe i'm jumping into this thread but...
It's incredibly hard to imagine the mountain not honoring the few hundred Diablo passes that must be out there. It would be a stupendous freaking blunder to do otherwise.

One word, Liability. Any decent lawyer for the new management company would never honor a contract from a previous business. Especially a previous business that's exiting under these sorts of conditions.
We're not talking about contracts, we're talking about goodwill.
The lift is going to be spinning...
Goodwill gets you sued in today's litigious society.
dude i feel bad i was completely joking
re-waiver?
Now the mountain doesn't know who disputed it and got their money back and who didnt . So now they might be honoring passes for people who got credited from the c.c. Or ready. You know if they do end up honoring it some of the buyers won't be hononist and will show their old
Receipt to get a season pass

So Mickey if you bought Spookey and the old owner ha taken down payments for frames before skipping town you would give those people frames for free? You know, since they paid the previous owner and all?
I mean sure why not, you've got a welder already welding so no big deal right?
Not sure how this is hard for people to understand. Company took money and went out of business. New company has not reason to honor previous company's contracts. Diablo stole your money and it is not Mountain Creeks problem. It is your and Diablos. if you have not called your credit card company yet and are holding out for some sort of answer you are being foolish.
Cheers
Haha, I had a feeling, you're always one of the smart ones around here. I was bored at work waiting for a contractor to show up, I had plenty of time to type.
i bought two oct 1st and rang the bank this week.
told them that the passes were to arrive by end of year and didn't so after not having calls to diablo returned I went to the website and saw that the business was no longer trading so please initiate a charge back.
Offered them extra info, details but they said it was fine and as long as diablo does not contest the chargeback (which means he says he is in business etc) then I get the money.
It was pending on my statement the following day.
cant see dickhead saying he is still in business and digging a bigger hole for himself so I expect the cash soon.

You do not know him well than...
Of course people should look for their money back but come on dude,
a gondola ride or 35, when the bucket is already spinning costs nothing.
Agreed.
cool. might as well not even charge any mtber since the lift will already be turning for skyriders
So Shawn should get to keep stolen money, and Mountain Creek should provide a service for free.
I am going to have to agree to disagree with you. Your logic makes absolutely no sense to me.
I have some gift certificates to a clothing store in town here that went out of business/changed owners, I will let you know how it goes when I ask the new owners to honor them for me.
Hopefully their goodwill will keep me coming back again, haha
^ this, Why is it their problem to fix the money shawn stole? Sure the lift is spinning, but thats because passes are sold to pay for it. Do you want to pay a few extra bucks for your pass (or season pass) because mtn creek had to goodwill 200 season passes?
If they really do as they say they are going to do then we all need to open our wallets and support them!!
As for the season pass holders, even if you have to pay twice you only need to ride there 10 times to break even compared to individual pass price.
I realize it sucks for the people who bought a pass but some of us pay that much in gas and hotel for only two days riding. Let's pick ourselves up dust off the dh bikes and move forward
