Ski Pass Age Variations

So, I have a question that might seem weird or dumb to some. I want to buy a season pass from my home mountain this season like I did last. Last season I was 18 got it way early so it was about $300. If I got it now saying I was 18 I could it for $350. I'm 19 now, but here's the thing: 19-64 is a whopping $899.

Last year when I brought my receipts and had my ID ready they didn't even take it. They just checked the name I gave them on the list of people who bought passes and took my picture. I know they won't remember me for shit this year, so do you think I could get away with saying I was 18 again?

Seems retarded, I know. But I'm a puss when it comes to this sorta shit.

I've never really given it to them though is the thing. I bought my pass at a ski swap last year in cash. I guess I can see what you're saying though. If I paid with my debit card and my name suddenly popped up..

I would actually go as far as paying for it in my name and using a super cool alias to avoid the extra $500.

That's why I rocked gore out for a while. Even after the shit show that place became I bought a pass there once. It's like 325 for a pass until you're 22. A really sick deal and it was close to home at the time

When you bought the pass at the swap did you have to fill out any type of waiver that required your age? If not you might be able to get away with it.

I literally put the cash down, had them put my name down, and got the receipt because their cameraman was gone because it was the last hour on the last day of the swap. So I went up on the day after opening and got my picture taken there without giving any info whatsoever.

When I got my first season pass (10 years old) we said my birthday was in 94 instead of 92 so I could get kid's pricing for a few extra years. Then this season I bought a college pass to the same mountain and gave them my real age (19) and had no problems.

If I use Steel Mulligan for my pass and take a pic to prove it, will you worship me?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll buy one and pick it up after Thanksgiving if all goes well. Keep this in your watch threads if you wanna.

Steele Mulligan shall be skiing cheaply this year!

I will if I can more people to back up that it'll be easy as shit to get away with buying a 'young-adult' pass.

Steel Mulligan will rise.

I'm still planning to do this. I'm going to a ski instructor course the 4-7th of December and if I get hired I will not being do this (this at a different resort). If they don't hire me, expect Steele Mulligan to deliver.

Was it a 5 year pass?
Was it a pass made of gold?
If not... I hope you feel better... soon.

I don't even know how to go about getting a fake ID. The irony of getting a fake ID to fake being younger.

this seems like it would be really easy to do. i say go for it. if i had one piece of advice it would be to not pick an outrageous name like steele mulligan, but youve already changed your ns soooooo theres no turning back now.
