With all the talk of 'umps lately around here.....

It seems the one thing most recreational skiers really dislike about the restrooms is that lines can be long, or they are filthy.

Would you pay extra above your lift ticket cost to use a restroom, including having it timed like a Nastar course? Judged?

It probably would never be much of a revenue generator for a mountain, but I think it would be a GREAT amenity. I'd pay $2-3 a run if the john is killer, especially if I have multiple runs. In theory, a mountain could pocket $20-$30 extra a day off me.

In a perfect world, the loo would be at no extra charge, but I could see how the mountain ops people might want to use the cash exchange to cover the cost of the toilet paper..........

Guess this shows where I place value as someone was talking about 'park passes' at a PA resort that you had to pay extra for, which I thought was ridiculous.

So.....would you pony up the extra cabbage?

restrooms at highway rest stops......

Ah ha! :idea: It's all coming together now... :lol: Highway Star. Now I get it! And here I thought it had something to do with Deep Purple. Maybe it's cuz Highway Gnar likes things that are purple deep? :-o

I answered "yes", but with the following disclaimer, I'm talking the rest rooms at Snowbasin! If you've been there you'd agree, and if you've never been there, you can't imagine! ;) :rolleyes:
