Season Passes Suck

Ok this is the first year that I had to buy a season pass myself...my mountain www.skiroundtop.com isnt that big but for the price of the pass it may sound like it...i just dropped 455 on a pass and i definately took for granted the past years my parents have bought one for me...i sent in an application to my mountain so hopefully i will get a job there and they will just reimburse the amount of my pass becuase then i will ride for free...but im just seeing if other people think their pass prices suck compared to the skiing they get in return...

an advantage to it thought..it gives me free trips to stratton when my mountain is closed and 4 free trips to stratton when my mountain is open

Steamboat springs pass is 1300 dollars, and 650 dollars if you're in college. But you can just volunteer to set up gates 5 days a month and you get a free seasons pass.

700 for a mammoth/june pass here, mammoth is gay and doesnt give college kids a break, and june is cool for giving a 125 dollar college pass but its gay compared to mammoth most of the time...

idk if its worth standing at the lift line, telling ppl when to jump in line, making groups of 4 ppl to get on a lift, watching other people ski down the hill and getting minimum wage..

haha that sucks...yeah that would be kinda cool to instruct but when your a kid and stuff it would be hard to get down to the mountain if you don't live really close.. its like a 45 minute ride for me

you are a fucking tool.. you obviously aren't working for free if your parents gave you 500 bucks.. you're working for 10 bucks an hour tax free, which is decent for a toolbag like you... holding guns to your parents heads because they gave you 500 bucks? thug life whigga.

no, it isn't. it is worth it to pay for a pass so you can use it every day, instead of taking idiots around the mountain who can't ski. skiing on your own is much better than being locked into a schedule of working on your skis.. don't mix business and pleasure biatch.

dude with the roundtop pass it also lets u ski liberty and whitetail so its really not that bad plus think about it if u ski enough the pass pays for itself in $ spent on day passes
