Replying to Hike the park or just use pass...

The mountain has done a great job of opening earlier than usual but they only have one terrain park. Even calling it a terrain park is a stretch. There's a parking lot about 750 ft above base right next to this "mini park" and I realized you could theoretically just hike the 3 features and never even need a lift.

I have a punch card with like 10 day passes and am wondering if it's worth using a day if I'm just going to spend it in park or if I should just hike it...?

My main concern is this is a smaller mountain and business isn't anywhere close to a major corporation like Vail Resorts so they truly grind every year to turn a profit. It isn't a tiny hill by any means but with relatively poor seasons recently and major investments in snow making equip, I don't want to be part of the reason they go out of business in the near future.

Opinions?
