Shredsterrput laxatives in the lodge's soft serve drink machine, about an hour after lunch, there'll be half as many people on the mountain, and twice as much fun!

lift pass receipts are usually in the garbage around the ticket booths. grab one and snag a free pass by saying yours fell off. this works well when its really cold and the passes dont stick to eachother as well.

and pack sandwiches

if your hill doesnt have electronic ticket checkers then put your headphones in and act like you didn't hear the guy at the lift asking for your pass

Not really a "hack" but..

For an easy fast lunch just pack bread and meat, then grab the mayo packets from the cafe, spread with plastic knife. (5 minutes)

Also for a drink, ask cashier if water is free and continue fill up your "water" at the soda machine.
Note: water trick does not work if you decide you want anything other than sprite, or they do not offer water at soda machine. (2 minutes)

Cheers

.LincolnDude there's not even a lift line at pebble creek. So basically you are just going through a narrow Lane to get to the lift instead of a big lane lol.

powabungaI had to help one these french kids on and off the chair at Tignes last year, he dropped his pole 2 minutes into a 15 minute chair and cried the entire way..


The kids with butter fingers are annoying, so are the super talkative ones but the worst are bratty 'thug life" rich Parisian kids who insult you: "Ha, your gear is all last year!" "My dad has a twenty room chalet, your dad only has a toilet!" "My dad has 100 million, yours only has 5 million." "I got Candide to perform at my birthday party at my indoor jib park." "You have Monster stickers, I have a Monster truck.", etc..

If your hill offers a college discount sign up for classes at your local community college, print out a schedule and drop them all before you have to pay. Or just make a fake schedule. Or actually go to college. Any of these will get you a cheaper pass.

Go to the cafeteria and fill your soda cup up with chili. Then you only pay $3 instead of $10.

Just walk into the cafeteria and get a tray full of food and walk out they never stop you and if they do say "I was just looking for the ketchup then I realised it was out here" full stomach and cash in the bank.

I don't do this but it's a good idea I've heard of, so what you do is you take your friends season pass and photocopy it onto a piece of paper, then you print out a picture of your face and glue it over your friends face and put the pass in your wallet and just flash the pass at the lift operators if asked, only will work at smaller midwest hills not the corporations like vail

Go to cafe place where they sell coffee and chocolate milk, fill a cup with the milk people use for their coffee and bunch of chocolate powder. Microwave for 1 minute = Free chocolate milk.

LUPTONNot Really a hack, thats just straight stealing....

For Anyone who is offering "hacks" that take money from your local hill, you no longer have any right to talk shit about crappy parks or shitty customer service.

Theres a difference between being frugal and being a thief.

fuck i feel old.


So is saying you're 12. Actually, that's stealing a lot more money from your hill than a meal.
