marrowsIf you hate it, ride outside the resort under your own steam. If not, you submit yourself to the resort and their rules.
Seems like a weird thing to get mad about though, in what scenario could this have a meaningful impact on the actual number of fresh turns to be acquired? If your turns are in that short supply I feel like it's time to find another hill or stop riding weekends like a standard bloke. Do you also get mad at the turns patrol/snowmaking/lift maintenance make while you're in the queue?

jompcockGet in the comments on the insta accounts of mtns that are implementing this. Be aggressive but I don't condone any threats or anything like that. Also maybe don't tie your real name to that shit cause I know examples of people getting banned from mtns for callouts on ig.
-eREKTion-Where on the 405? I never recall seeing that.
eheathyou're delusional if you think anyone with any sort of power at a resort looks at their instagram comments.

jompcockIn my friends experience, they looked at comments enough to spam the (private) account with bots until he accepted one of their follow requests, analyze people in photos, find that the person was on the local ski team and interrogate kids until one of them admits who it was. Yes they care and marketing teams absolutely pay attention to interactions on their socials.

SofaKingSickdoes anyone know how exactly it will work? (how it worked at copper would be helpful)
i imagine it's a separate line, and they just load a chair from that line every so often? i'd be curious how exactly they meter it
eheathWhen they had it at PC, it was like the ski school line, when you arrive at the end of the fast tracks line, they stop the regular line and bring in whoever is in the fast tracks line.
dwt802Can’t wait to bitch fuckers out for doing this at killi this season
SofaKingSickoh wow that's quite a perk. i guess the idea is there aren't a ton of VIP lane people then, huh?
eheathyou're delusional if you think anyone with any sort of power at a resort looks at their instagram comments.
eheathYeah it was like 300 extra? i think on a season pass back then, prob is only 20-30 a day extra. I'm not sure how it will be implemented tho, but it would likely skip the entire line.

cypherssymptom of a greater trend. the corpo goal for years has been to turn skiing from a sport into a slightly colder disney vacation. mtn owned lodging, safety patrol, heated gondolas w/ wifi etc etc... if you ski more than 7 days a year you are just an unfortunate expense to vail and friends.

r00kieThat change petition description is the most entitled local thing ever. 'This is OUR mountain!' Yeah, you keep telling yourself that bug guy.
skeirmanthis chode pays for a fast pass.
marrowsNope, sorry fuck head. That isn't a thing in my country. I haven't paid for a pass in 8 seasons, in fact I've been getting paid with every line I've skipped.
drew.skiWhat you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
eheathSo you work at the resort? You're so unique and special.
theLiquorNo matter how much money i have i’d never want to buy that fast pass. Thank god im not a weekend warrior though im not at all concerned
Zac.suremanGo read Mt. Bachelors comment section on instagram. Bachy is getting roasted and Im here for it
marrowsDid you see the post that was directed at? I know minimum wage jobs aren't special, it's no secret. The known chud replied to my legit response to the thread with an insult, which was incorrect nonetheless.
Anyone who thinks resorts won't monetize any little thing they can is absolutely kidding themselves. I'm calling it - they'll start selling certain runs for microtransactions with varying prices depending on conditions of said runs.
mrk127Classic POWDR pulling this kind of shit. I know they aren't going to listen to the core skiers about any type of shit like this so ig all I can do is shame, snowball and engage in a whole lotta sticker bombing

dmcdmcSorry you're so upset VIP experiences exist. Who cares if a few wealthier people cut in line if they pay for it? Happens all the time. No point being upset. None of us can stop it. Are you surprised? Skiing isn't some holy sanctuary of equality on Earth, it's a luxury sport for the richer to begin with. Life must be stressful for you.
Nvm. I'm just an irrational idiot :)

DummyBearsCatch me throwing snowballs at pretentious people who go into that line
FruitBootProHoly fuck bro don't give them any ideas. Generally I feel like we're in the clear on that since amusement parks don't make you pay for the more intense rides. But this concept makes more sense in a ski mountain than an amusement park.
