Replying to Stupid Unreasonable Ski Patrol

So, today i was skiing at Mad River Glen (VT), sick pow day btw, me and my friend decide to drop this sick cliff under the lift. apparently it was closed, but it might as well have been open, there was pow everywhere. So we drop it, get the shot, its all dope. Yet apparently some ski patroller saw us when he was on the lift, and reported. We ski to the bottom and get flagged down by a couple of ski patrollers demanding to see our passes. So instead of giving us a warning or telling us never to do that again, they take my multi-mountain pass. so now i cant ski for a few weeks even at my other mountains!
Is this fair? duck one rope, and get screwed out of skiing for the next week.
