Season pass is $1,000+

And how they build and setup the parks. They could do so much better. We don't need a shitty half pipe that's pure ice and has no speed

Ski patrol in the park in general. They try to take charge and tell everyone what to / not to do as if they know how a park operates. Stay out unless someone gets hurt.

Well, my resort was awesome. Then came the new owners and fucked up almost everything. Less food for more money, NO park crew for 2 seasons, asshole employees. Nothing fucking works the way it should. It took me half an hour to go get my season pass, which i had already payed, because they didn't have /couldn't find information about the payment and the bitch at the register just didn't give a fuck about anything.
But now things are looking better, they have a park crew and just bought more rails. I just hope this season things get better.

Ski patrollers are lame for many reasons but i'd bet anyone on this site who says ski patrol hates them probably deserves it, i'm sure you're an inconsiderate punk ass. I'm a punk ass too, just don't forget to step back and look at yourself and actions

And who the fuck says "snowboarders pushing snow down the mountain!" How the fuck do you know if a skier or boarder pushes more snow down a mountain? Did you go gather data and do studies on snow pushing? Ignorant

FUUUUUCK Big Sky and anyone charging that much for a season pass. FUCK THEM

it's snowing but the new snowmaking pipes aren't in the ground, no pumps in the pump house, and only the towers up for the new lift.

What I do like though; new snowmaking infrastructure and new lift.

Park crew sucks ass. It's all snowboarders who are lazy as shit. We used to have a pretty good park, but now all the features that were used in it are laying in the fucking woods while there's at most 1 rail in the park at a time. They close features at the most dickheaded times possible and when we ask why, they respond, "Deal with it, do you even want a park?". You know, that really grinds my gears.

COP again, they let their rails sit outside and don't use half of them,they let the jumps onto rails fall apart and become useless before repairing them, they only put in the fat tube everyone loves by the middle of the season, and their halfpipe takes up too much space and is shittily maintained.

My local resort won't even make a park because the owner's dumb gaper snowboarder son broke his neck on less than a 15 footer at whistler. Oh yah and the volunteer patroller group who think they can pull people's passes.

Well, the thing is even though I am ranting about food expenses, I do bring my own food to the hill. It would just be nice to be able to afford a burger like once a month.

It is too small to be considered a mountain.

No really.

Mountain Creek is technically a "hill".
