Maybe unique to conditions on Mt Bachelor but would be interesting if applied in the Northeast

"In a move to better match the quality of the on-mountain experience with the daily lift ticket price, Mt. Bachelor is putting into place a sliding scale that takes into account the amount of lift serviced terrain and weather factors such as visibility, wind, precipitation and temperature. A single day non-holiday adult lift ticket will be priced at $69, $59, or $49 depending on the expected conditions of the day. "

“Mt. Bachelor receives some of the best quality and deepest snow accumulation in the country, but we also wrestle with days of lower visibility, winds and rime,” said Dave Rathbun, President and General Manager. “Mt. Bachelor is a ‘top 10’ mountain experience on those good days, but when it’s rough, or while we are receiving a 20, 30, 40 or more inch pounding, we want to price more in line with the experience. This new program will allow us to charge a fair price for the skiing and riding available on a given day. It is surely unique, but Mt. Bachelor is a unique experience with a large segment of our day and overnight guests who visit on short notice based on conditions and value for the price paid.”

Wow, interesting idea, especially when conditions start out really nice and end with a white out. Definitely interested to see how that works out for them.
