Replying to Does the Epic pass suck or is it great?

On the one hand, Vail attracts tons of Jerrys raises prices and destroys small mountains, but on the other hand the prices become low for pass holders, and creates an excuse to travel to another mountain on the pass. In my experience, Vail took over my home mountain Stowe. Stowe was always a bit crowded but now with the pass the lines are outrageous, and there are even people who don't ski that take the gondola just as a ride. However, I've been able to use the pass as an excuse to travel and saves me money, without the pass I would have never gone to Colorado or Utah. But I think the biggest problem is that on smaller mountains in need of an infrastructure upgrade, they will never get one. At Stowe on the main mountain there is a Gondola, a highspeed quad, a two doubles, and a triple. No locals really use the Gondola as it is a Jerry trap and it's only good use is for the backcountry. The tollhouse double is also never used because it is way out of the way and only serves green trails. But the main problems are the Mountain Triple and Lookout Double, before Epic they were not a problem but with all of tourists the lines at the quad get ridiculous and the double and triple can't suffice, neither go to the top, and on the really cold days are too slow. I'm afraid that Epic won't upgrade them and a Stowe's popularity grows the lines will become too long and resort skiing will become less and less of an option.
