900$!! That’s more than a winter pass! And there’s no age discount! Why tho?

Because it’s the only game in town for those few months. Pay to play.

Like said above, it is the only game in town. Additional $450 if you want the pro park pass with it

Gets pretty packed up there too. Day prices usually go down once there are less people in August. You really have to want to hit it almost every day and be cool with big lines to make it worth the $$$.

we have a little partnership with Timberline and have a little grip of extra tickets this summer. If someone in the area and has never gone up there before and can't afford it ... hit us up and we can flow you a ticket. everyone should experience that at least a day on Hood in the summer, it's super unique. josh@lineskis.com

Probably thinking of their spring pass.

Last time I checked prices on the summer passes it was like 1100 bucks and that was 4 years ago.
