the reason being the hotel has to prove that they held that room for yo uall night and there was no other opportunity for them to rent it. Which is near impossible to prove.

They are called GNS (guarantee no shows) and normally never hold water if disputed.

I'm guessing he used one of the travel sites (Orbitz, Hotels.com, etc). Once they have your money, they have it. No refunds, generally, when dealing with the discount sites.

I looked up the best deals on Trip Advisor and other sites, but I booked the room through Super8.com. It is posted on their website that they don't do refunds for cancellations, but I figured since Timberline has 100% snowmaking capabilities there wasn't going to be any way they would be closed. Just bad luck that bad weather hit this weekend and they decided to shut it down early, that was something I didn't anticipate when I booked 3 weeks ago.

Anyways, I called my bank already today and disputed it, so the charge was dropped. Thanks again for the advice mredskins, it definitely came in handy and saved me some coin.
