I had a btown pass and a pc pass this season. I only ended up going to pc like 10 times. It was always shitty snow, slushed out park, with tiny slow rails, imo. Next season I'm doing brighton alone, or a brighton-solitude pass. I thought that it would be hard not to give vail my money because I was so fond of pc's park, but this year I found I actually like brightons way more. The park is at ~9000 (versus 3 kings @~7000) ft so its way better snow, they have longer, faster rails that actially look big on cam. For park skiers, unless you absolutely need to hit jumps bigger than 35-40 ft, brighton is where to be. Not to mention finding parking is 100x easier, and it isn't a corporate nightmare. No yellow jackets and the lifted are pretty chill, hell I shared a bowl and a blunt with the head lift op for milly on a pow day this season.

personally didn't have any issues because we knew a lot of the liftys and just threw our bags over the fence for them to hand them to us as we got on the chair. but it seemed strange seeing people get patted down like it was the airport. personally I think they weren't putting up with anymore shit after the boozecruise (which should definitely make a return next year).

i put a dildo in my backpack on gaper day and already had beers hidden in the woods so i had a great laugh when security searched me. fuckers
