Damn, ski tickets r getting hella expensive, I mean, vail and some of those mountains have nearly 70 dollar a day passes!! Something has to be done about those rich old fuckers that keep driving op the ski prices. Or ski bums will have to become just plain bums.

Yeah, I ski in Amerika, its crazy, the damn price of ticket is too much. I ski at one place in Idaho, the lodge was to big and fancy, with gold plated toilets and gormet food, we dont need all that shit, it just drives up the passes.

It's not just the ticket prices, it's everything. They jack up the food prices obscenely. At Mt. Snow it's 4 bucks for a Redbull knockoff and 3.50 for a slice of pizza.

28 dollars all day for 200 feet of vertical one lift and 3 runs. Not too mention the price of food.

really the increasing day pass prices only effect vistiors.. most of the time i you buy early you can get a pass to any expensive resort for a reasonable price.

The reason prices have gone up at ALL resorts is because insurance for ALL resorts has more than tripled since last year.

And when you think about it, it really sucks for canadians, to travel in the states, because paying for a $70 lift ticket at vail is about a $120 cnd or so,

so fuck you bush,

Whistler ain't all that bad, they let university students get a season's pass for $325 cdn. (but regularly $1285) that's a hella lot cheaper than this local mount in Vancouver that's got one third the elevation and charges $405 for a youth, early-bird rate season's pass. and the local mount is more profit-driven than Intrawest, i know cuz I work for them.

you know whats sick this year? anyone can get a free pass to stratton, all you have to do is sign a waver that says that you wont do drugs or drink alchole and you got yourself a free seasons pass. just show up this weekend on sunday and go to ciders resteraunt with your parents. they will have to sign too, but then you gots yourself a free seasons pass! Thats the shit!

The resorts arent making much money. Stock prices have dropped and all they can do to make more money is sell real estate. Intrawest, American skiing company and Vail resorts all owe huge sums of money to investors and what not, they have to make that money back.
