It apparently is, yes.

It is one of the sillier things I have seen in a while.  If they had a sick(and large) area of the mountain that they only opened up to people with this pass, then I could see it for someone ultra wealthy.  As it is I really don't see 10k worth of benefits in what they are offereing.

exactly. People are going to be pissed when they get poached by rich guys. And rich guys are gonna get pissed when they are called out by other people.

Can't you buy a 10,000 straight-to-the-front-of-the-tram-line pass at Snowbird?

Either way, so much overkill...

The only cool part is the 30ish days you get to shred earlier than the public, that'd be so epic on a pow day.

There is definately a market out there for this kind of thing. If I was in line and got snaked by some rich guy there would definately be hundreds of snowballs flying at his head and the lifty that let him through.

Took the words out of my mouth man.

There isn't a person on this message board who would turn down an opportunity like this if it was available to them. It's definitely a stupid way to market your mountain, but I can only imagine how much vert you could ski in a day when the mountain is at its busiest.

PRIORITY LIFT LINE PRIVILEGES
· Don’t wait in line on powder days or any other day. Your Mammoth Black pass gives you access to the Priority Line so you can go straight to the next available chair or gondola.
· Share priority lift privileges with your friends and colleagues - with your Mammoth Black pass, you can purchase daily priority lift line passes for your guests.

i had something like this but it was only for a day and it was like 150 everyone gives you the dirtiest looks when you use it.

Have this at my mountain, it's only for people who bought real estate on the mountain. Pass is $1,000 annually and you get to cut the lines on certain lifts. It's not a bad deal for the people who have a condo on the mountain, but I don't like people getting the treatment in line though.

Still though 10g's to cut the lines sounds out of most people's price range. Don't seeing this being a big success.

Not worth anywhere near that. I thinks its kinda funny that you can do a lot of that stuff by just working at a resort and making friends with the right people. And lift line priority? Anyone who takes a lesson gets that, at a lot less than 10000

you can get a 27,000 YEARLY membership to the 'seven summits club' you can bring a friend skiing every day and you get to get on early trams when ever you want, and cut lines.

At first I was like..... shit... thats a lot of money.

Then I remembered my days of when I worked front desk at the Village in Mammoth and 1 night in a 3 bedroom over christmas cost $1,400 a night. Then I remembered that an all day window ticket is $92 a day. Then I remembered that the paralax dinner is something like $100 per person. Then I remembered that all day demo skis and boots costs $90....


Then I remembered that we had all to many people with $5000 + bills by the time they checked out. So considering this covers an entire season and $15,000 gets you a full seasons worth for a family... aint so bad. Sounds like airfare might be included as well... and if that is... I'd be going up every single weekend.

yea man i'm w/ you on this one.  if i had 10k that i could spend on a ski pass, i'd probly pay off my truck and move to utah.  then again, if you can spend 10k on a pass, you're probly not hurtin' for cash.  where you go to school? near mountains i hope!

this.

The people who will buy this are the same people who drop 300K a year on their country club membership, and CEO's of companies like Citibank and Disney who take clients on business meetings to these places for lunch on their G4's. It's a different world, 10k is like an expensive dinner with a client.
