This is the first time I've read this thread. All I can say is that this is bull. I agree with everyone from paying the extra $100 to go directly on the slopes, to having to wait in line to get a ticket for their "season pass". All I can say is if you want to reduce fraud, then hire more ticket checkers. There are literally two points to having a season pass. First to save someone money who skis/rides a lot each season. Secondly to avoid the hassle of waiting in a ticket line.
BTW, like everyone said, I'm just putting in my opinion on this and am not taking it against you, Heather. Even though I'm not a passholder at JFBB, I still think this thing is crazy.
