Stupid question about early season pricing

[andyzee]

I'm sorry but I disagree with alot of what is being said here. If the weather stays bad and a resort only has a few trails open I don't think they would be charging full price unless they don't want any day ticket sales. Skiers are not idiots. The idea that they would pay $72 for one trail is ludicrous.

If a resort had only one trail open let's say Christmas week, they have a lot more to worry about then ticket prices.

I am on a student pass (All East College) which had no black outs and cost $375. This was a bit more than the same pass I bought when I was in College in 2000-2001...it was $349 then.

With that said, Bronze Passes were $369 IIRC and had some blackouts, but you could have skied Sunday. That is cheaper than Booth Creek's pass.

And though this pass was a bit more than what we did last season (Sunapee-Cannon-Gunstock for $199, no blackouts), I was skiing this weekend while they were not at Loon, etc.

That is a good deal, I have a family of passes to buy and am not in school so I ended up at the Threedom pass for $349. I scored the ASC pass at the TGR movie premier so I was out early as well. It was nice not to have to hike for turns although that day would have been fun doing that as well.
