Need help! Looking for 7 springs pass

I drove to Pittsburgh from Wisconsin to ski 7 springs and just realized that they have a cap on the max amount of people allowed on the hill at once. They’re sold out the entire time I’m here. Does anyone have a 7 springs pass that I can rent off them for a day or so? I will exchange all my info and will be a man of my word with giving the passes back.

Why would you drive from Wisconsin to ski 7 Springs early season like this?

just go to the pass office and lie about having a reservation and pretend it’s their fault. If that doesn’t work, you might as well huck it further and just go to another state.

If your friend has a season pass I wonder if they allow companions to ski without a reservation?

The moderator dogfart gives out lapdances for dumbest post of the month so at least you got that going for you.

Sold out resorts are a thing w/Rona. Its crazy to imagine how insane and shitty these places would be with no cap they are very much full with it.

Unfortunately the soulless owner Bob Nutting probably won’t make an exception even if it was a Vietnam vet’s child’s Make a Wish wish and fulfilling that wish would bring world peace.

My advice: try Hidden Valley. 10 minutes down the road. Also owned by the Nuttings but probably have less reservations and even if it’s booked it’s usually way more laid back. Not sure how the parks are rn but usually a lot of overlap with the springs/valley park crews.

I used to work there and could plug people passes all the time. Unfortunately I’m not working there this year, and all my friends that are don’t have any tickets left.

If i were you, I wouldn’t try to use someone else’s pass, because they take that shit so damn serious. I’ve seen people get arrested (probably they caught them doing it multiple times). They rape you in the ass if you don’t buy a ticket or a pass.

However, there are a small amount of people that have corporate passes through the medical company UPMC. It would be hard to find, but I’m 99.9% sure you can transfer these passes around.

Other than that I honestly don’t know any other way you could find tickets or passes. Maybe hit up some of the park crew guys or the park page and they could help you. Worst case scenario you could just hike rails and take a peek down to the lift before you go down and make sure the slope security guys (guys in all black jackets) aren’t checking passes.

@murphyboiiii just saw that if you book a lesson you are guaranteed a lift ticket. If your willing to spend alittle more it might be the way to go.

There’s a parking lot right by the alley (one of the parks), not sure if a pass is required to get there as I’ve never parked there but you’ll probably find the local park rats there. They’d be the ones who have friends that may or may not be willing to let you use their pass

Roger that, it’s good u got in, have fun, didn’t mean to have a shitty tone in my previous post just not a fan of the springs, and when I go to Montana, Colorado anywhere west etc I drive to and fro at least once a season, for me the reward outweighs the drive by far

Bob nutting is an absolute fuckwad at the least, but I am glad he owns this place instead of Vail. Cause the reservation system for season passholders for Vail/alterra resorts seems annoying as fuck and can easily fuck up your season. Kudos to springs for taking care of us passholders.

Word word. I just feel like it would be annoying to schedule your days for the upcoming week and miss a sunny day because the forecast showed rain all day and you didn’t schedule.

do they have any repercussions for no shows on days you schedule?
