Anyone have a pass I can borrow?

I just moved to Boulder this past Sunday for a couple months, and I was just wondering if someone would let me borrow their pass to either Copper or Breck/Key/ABasin. I'm willing to pay a fair amount so just let me know.

You mught be better off asking someone if you can buy one of there "ski with a friend" ticket. there like $35-$45. I dont think that anyone would let you barrow a season pass, the resorts are REALLY cracking down on that. You can be charged if you are cought. It happened a lot last year and the resorts really pressed charges on the person that was using the pass ans the person that lend the pass.

They're ~50ish this year (I think it's 30 bucks off). Employee guest passes are still 40 something though.

i would consider it but, im a guy.
and most lifties get bonueses if they catch people swapping passes. they go ape shit if they catch you to. Just get the half off deal with a pass instead

Ya! I hear you.
It's a bit stupid why they would do that, but ok.

Oh really? That's damn good.
Well my dad said he would pay for my first two days of skiing so I should probably go hit up Vail. HAHA!

Yeah, but all it takes is one guy to really ruin your day. I know a lot of the lifties here and almost all of them don't care, but some are known for pulling loads of passes.

ya knowing from experience i would say to just get the buddy pass thing. someone used my pass a couple weeks ago and it got yanked and now im SOL until that dude gives me money for a new pass which is now 480 bucks. so instead of paying 50 for a day he now has to pay 480.
if you do though make sure you look at least a lil something like the person whos pass it is and know their birthday.

This thread has made me think, there must be loads of people on NS that could help out other people with cheap passes, either season pass holders, or employees. Personally I get 4 50% passes a day (Winter Park) I'm sure other people have got similar hookups at other resorts.
What do you guys reckon, should I make a discount pass hookup cult?

You definitely need to. I don't have a fucking pass, but my house only rides Copper and Winter Park. I mean it's still a lot of money being pumped into skiing each week so borrowing a pass is a big plus. But discounts help. I really need to get up to Breck and Keystone. My house doesn't like Vail Resorts for some reason. LOL.

It was a gift. Every week the price range increases. So far I've been told between $4000-$10,000. Kind of impractical for the cost.
