eheathYes, lets get angry at the people who spend thousands of dollars to go ski in their free time and support the resorts just like you do. Fuck them. You should be the only one skiing and you should pay 1/2 as much for a pass as everyone else. I mean you could just move somewhere else where they don't have weekend warriors, oh wait...

Z-JuiceThis. Although it will be an interesting situation in Colorado in 10 years when the population increases by 1 million and will rise and rise after that. Granted, it's 1 million spread throughout the state with a very small percentage who ski.
Still, things will be crazy, I-70 is expected to be one of the worst commutes in the country:

NinskasiThey are the reason I get paid... well now that just sounds like I am a hooker...
But they come up on the weekends and spend loads of money on food and lodging. I might not like them but they do have a very big place in the economy in my town!

L.U.P.E.The weekend warrior supports the die hard, its how it works man. Instead of being pissed off about it, educate people on our sport. The more people who ski in the world the better

CaseyMagnify your problems by ten thousand and you have Seattle. Although, most climate scientists and meteorologists are predicting that 2016 will be the last year Washington sees any snow.
TheDoughAbidesDamn! Not to be obnoxious but can you provide any links for that claim?? I'd be very interested in reading..
TheDoughAbidesIt wouldn't matter if your great-great grandpa founded Leadville, I'd still think you're a douche for making this thread. Unless you are a member of the Ute Nation, you really have no right to complain about people moving to Colorado.
pawooolI am talking about the people from Denver who bring all of their food, and stay in trailers and stuff. The only money they are bring in is maybe the cost of a ski pass. I am fine with tourists, its the ones who come from Denver and bring everything.

50KalSo by your logic any "locals" who bring food/beer/supplies there to the mountains are okay but if your from out of state/front range and live in your van your dick cause your not spending your savings on a fucking $20 burger and $10 beer right?
Sounds like OP was trying to make a thread to rip on Weekend Warriors cause the I-70 resort corridor is always packed and it backfired.
Get over it. If you wanna ski somewhere without lines leave and go to the wilderness area and earn turns the hard way.

CaseyI heard it at a Trump Rally. I don't know if it's true or not, but people are saying it.

StaticUh, yes... I mean what is so hard to figure out? Even if they bring their own food locals are at least contributing to the town in terms of property taxes and labor.
Your comment about spending your savings earned in a city on a burger is kind of funny too, median income in Denver is nearly twice what it is in Summit County, and for the most part "locals discounts" are pretty much nonexistent.
Are you really not getting it, or is it just admitting the reality of it that's hard?
50KalMountains are there for anyone who is willing to spend the time getting to them. There's not a set amount of money to spend to be in the mountains.

Emma_Watsonwas telling eheath to stay i utah
but word
eheathIf those are your two reasons for not living in utah then you've got some issues with your priorities.
Staticha, you actually think shit is free. Bro, every square inch of this county costs money, either in the form of access or amenities. Nice try moving the goal posts though, "durr national forest access is for everyone" as if we weren't talking about ski resorts and shit. But even at the most basic level of visiting a national forest you're taking more than you're giving, you think Jesus put a self maintaining road in? talk about entitled....
50KalWell to start I never said "free" on anything numb nuts but thanks for speaking for me. Nice old guy speech about "how the world isn't free".
I understand how government forest (FS, BLM, BIA, NPS) are maintained and funded as I've spent a few years working Department of interior and other recreational government agencies.
But here's the crazy thing. Guess who pays for the maintenance of it? Tax payers. Including front range weekend warriors. So yeah. National forest access is for every one who pays taxes. I don't see jobless people ski very often so I assume every skier out there is taxed to certain degree.
But your right lets get back to the topic at hand. You being butt hurt about too many people skiing at the resort right? Weekend warriors make it too crowded and they are dicks for not giving your town enough money?
I will go back to my statement of you earlier. Your a selfish entitled ass-clown. As long someone pays for pass they are using there's no requirement or set amount of money someone has to spend in a ski town or resort. Get over it.
Lets be honest here. Your just pissy cause your still in school and can't ski during the week so your stuck skiing with weekend warriors. Hey that sucks but maybe you should quit skiing if you can't handle a crowd.

If it's just a lift ticket a car ride that's all it cost.
If it's just the gas in the car cause you have all the gear, food, knowledge and willing to hike the mountain to ski it, well they are way more deserving of anyone else of skiing that mountain.
On the subject of not spending money, I'm saying the weekend warrior is smarter than you cause doesn't waste his money on going out to eat in town. .
