The thing most of you aren't realizing is that Vail's takeover made the season's passes much cheaper. They used to be $1,600-ish, now they're about $1,100.

True and I appreciate the lower season pass price. They must have a calculation that maximizes profit according to daily price. I don’t want longer lift line waits, but I do think there is an issue of underdevelopment on the hills and in the village that could be addressed, increasing profits while also becoming more democratic. The status quo must be intentional on some level though, to create a more exclusive product. That is sad in ways for me as really this is part of our collective Canadian heritage, not just a business or a playground for some demographics.
