i think that every ski area should have their own penalty. there should not be a different penalty for a season pass holder, just a universal penalty. there is no need for closed areas to be fenced off, there are always ways to get around it. and PA areas are not too controlling. if something is closed, than that means its closed. most likely it is closed for a reason, such as being in use for an event, or is unsafe. places dont just close stuff for the hell of it... there is usually a good reason, usually a liability thing.
