Why are Colorado passes so cheap?

I saw Loveland and A Basin are opening tomorrow and was checking out the pricing on their seasons passes. Its like $350 bucks or so. I pay $300 to for my college pass to Stevens Pass up here in Washington. Stevens Pass is a sick ass mountain, but a normal pass is like $800. Crystal Mountain, another great local mountain is over a grand I have heard.
Why does it seem CO is so cheap? Due to the proximity of so many mountains and its very competitive for customers or what? I shudder to think I will be paying $800 next season when I am no longer in school. I love the PNW though, I would still rather live here than Colorado.

Don't listen to them. We all have our experiences and opinions. You never know unless you try.

Competition much more than Supply and Demand. So much competition in one area. Price war ensues, season pass prices in Colorado are pretty much break even for the resorts. They are competing for your food/cafeteria dollars.

You, my friend, are the one who has no clue what you are talking about, nor do you know what I am talking about. Sure, Vail has determined an optimal price. An optimal price FOR MAKING PROFITS, you fucking idiot. That isn't the optimal price for maximizing the amount of good I get from skiing their hills.
BTW my mother is dead you fucking douchbag, but thanks for telling me how she feels.

damn 300 for a squaw pass is legit. I would have to agree with the less gapers cause squaw is actually a real mountain unlike some of the other resorts like flatstar which is china town(chinese tourists)/ gaperville.
All times are Eastern (-5)
