This will be my first year freestyle skiing. I have some used twintips, and poles, but a season pass depends on my grades. and advice if 1. I do get a season pass 2. I don't get one.


Thanks,

Get one. Seems like an odd question to be honest.

Definitely get a pass. In the end it will be worth it. You will have saved so much money.

Anyways, Welcome to Newschoolers! I'll start you off with some karma

yah man get a pass, last year was my first year of skiing and the amount i ( my parents ) spent on day tickets could have bought me at least 2 season passes. Just tell them that and they wont even worry about grades..

They're going to be driving you to the hill. Thus, their argument for seasons pass is invalid. Here's how you should approach this dilemma.

1. Buy the season pass, allowing you to focus your concerted efforts on school instead of raising money every week for day passes.

2. Buy day passes, until they get fed up of paying, where in which you will turn to slinging rock on the corner to pay for your weekend follies.

I think the answer is obvious, my friend.

Just get good grades honestly. If you get good grades, it will help later on and you get a ski pass this year. There are long and short term benefits I dont see why you wouldnt try.

i'm stoked for you!

also, as far as grades go... my parents are super crazy about grades. i have gpa that's really good (not trying to sound pretentious/claim) because my parents won't let me ski unless i basically have all A's. They'll buy me a pass, but they can take it away whenever they want if i do poorly on a test, miss an assignment, etc.

so just keep your grades up, get that pass, and go shred!

Get a pass, that way you pay it all right away and don't have to feel like your spending money every time you go. Also you won't have to go into the lodge.

if you do bad enough in school and get sent back to 5th grade you can ski free in Colorado. Plus then your grades will probably improve too.

Plus like most people I go after school and a lot of kids go after school and buy day passes, thus you wait in line for a day pass most days and waste time shredding.

In past years skiing for me I've been paying full prices for season passes. I don't know what other mountains are like but I know that if you join just a random group at the mountain I go to you can get a lot of cash off a season pass. If your grades are good enough and your parents decide to get you a season pass check your mountains group rates and check if there's any spots open in groups that you could join. I was told this talking to someone on a lift last year and hope to try it this year. Good luck

if you ski more than 6(ish) days a year, GET A PASS!

the best way to get better at skiing is just to get up on the hill, and you will save lots of money doing so if you get a pass.
