What I find really frustrating, from my selfish point of view, is that student season passes are only valid for full time college students. I understand why they do that, but as someone who's getting their MBA at night, it's a great value that I can't partake in.

I guess they figure you're not poor or starving :-(

While I have not nor am I currently enrolled in a MBA program, I have considered doing so. And if I do, I would not feel the same. I don't think people who work full time need a student discount. Full time Masters students may have a legitimate issues. But usually full time Masters students are generally extending their Undergraduate degree.

I 100% absolutely agree with you. That's why I said I understand why ski areas have that policy and that my point of view is selfish. I'm not clamoring for a change in the policy, it was just a statement that it would be nice if I were able to partake in a discounted season pass. Nothing more, nothing less.
