So let me ask you this, do you think that the pass prices and products pushed you into skiing more? And do you think you spend more money at the mountain than you did skiing just on day tickets? For instance, do you now spend more time in the bar or the restaurants/shops because it is not so much about skiing as much as you can on your day ticket?

I do think that I spend more in the cafeteria than before. I am not as careful to bring my lunch and eat in the cafeteria more, as I was when I had to pay $50+ in the morning for the ticket.(I avoid the expensive and longer waits of the restaurants at the mountains.)

As for time spent at the mtn. vs. actually skiing, I don't feel like I am in as much of a rush to get on the slopes. If I want to sit a few minutes after lunch I do, wasting time walking around or whatever is now more common.



All of this however went out the door when I got a job at the mtn. and the pass that came with it. This was however how I felt when paying for the pass.
