I want to get a few more days in this season , and a basin is the only mtn open still. I don’t have an icon and don’t wanna spend my life savings on a day passes. Does anyone know if it’s possible to bribe the ticket scanners with like Redbull or like 20 bucks or something? I can’t buy beer cause I’m 16 but just wondering if anyones ever bribed a ticket scanner or if it possible

We've got a guy named Duncan at Timberline and he'll chase you down.
I used to hike up to the Palmer lift during the summer and ski the glacier for free as they didn't scan at Palmer, only the lift required to get there... until Duncan caught us in the lift line. He had binoculars around his neck and said he had been watching us since the parking lot. He stepped on my buddies back binding as we tried to ski away and my friend had to go get his ski back.

Go for it OP, worst they can say is no!

If you’re in Colorado, our Breckenridge property is still open through at least memorial day with skiing out of peak 7. Lift tickets are only $420 for the day and $169 for a half day. Coloradans are sick and tired of the firm conditions they had to endure this season, so come ski the spring slush for one last hurrah!

At 420$ a day and 169 for a half day? A bribe is way cheaper. Try weed, a 7g should get ya a couple laps

At wild mountain there's this guy named Troy who is really good at catching people. But as long as your respectful he let's you ski the rest of the day as long as you don't come back. Hop you don't get in trouble for this Troy I love you

Fun fact, Duncan is Eric Pollards uncle! But yeah he’s pretty on it with poachers. Stick to the bottom of the canyons if you plan on poaching tline in the summer, and dont leave the FTC unless you can see the palmer loading zone is clear

I ticket scanned for two years. Can attest to the bonus for turning people in. Can also say that if you’re cute and a decent park rat, sweet talk it up and there’s a chance you’ll get a few runs in. Met my ex that way, made for a good story at least.
