ket19 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 so. last year i got a full pass and decided to downgrade to off-peak this year since last year i only ever really went after work, and later on the weekends. my question is, does bear offer a way to 'upgrade' should i want to go early one weekend or something? like, i've already got my off-peak pass, so i don't want to buy a full lift ticket should i want to show up at like 10 on a saturday. do you guys do anything like that? thanks Quote
burton71 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 Nope. Full price if you want to go during the weekend in the morning. Quote
JibHonk Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 and after all that added lift ticket price your A) better off buying the unlimited being a bamf and going during the day with your offpeak Quote
Saurus Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 i honestly got my passed scanned around 4-5 times last season...... You can get away with using an offpeak in non-offpeak hours, half the time they just say hey you know your not supposed to be here untill like 4. And just say well blah blah blah my dad, blah blah sorry. The lift attendants are chill Quote
k2rider2690 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 honostly for the past three years i have been getting an off peak pass...and 99% of the time i was fine with it...until that early sat morning that i wanted to get the fresh cord...if you just hid your pass or cover up the off peak part with your finger when showing them they will never even notice...

Saurus Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 just play dumb. "Oh shit, I can't use it today? I didn't even know. I'm sorry man. My bad." Yeah and say your like girlfriend bought it for you and she just said you can go whenever Quote
ket19 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Posted September 25, 2008 Yeah and say your like girlfriend bought it for you and she just said you can go whenever ha! i'm a chick. maybe i'll just use that line anyway. Quote
Saurus Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 yeah the lift attendants would prob be more willing to let you go haha Quote
Tyler Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 and after all that added lift ticket price your A) better off buying the unlimited being a bamf and going during the day with your offpeak EVERYBODY LISTEN TO THE KID WHO GOT HIS PASS TAKEN AWAY LAST YEAR FOR STUPID SHIT SIMILAR TO THIS!!

paolo Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 Honestly. Getting an off peak pass is fine. Thats what Ive been doing for 7 years now. If you really want to go on a weekend morning, you can use your forgotten pass ticket (I think) or you could just buy a ticket for that day. Quote
Justin Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 Why don't you just get a unlimited then. And just a FYI, if you want to continue cheating the system, you probably shouldn't talk about it on a messageboard that BC reps go on... Quote
joeybadlands Posted October 27, 2008 Report Posted October 27, 2008 This is why you will be scanned at all times this season Quote
ket19 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Posted October 28, 2008 This is why you will be scanned at all times this season wish they'd done that last year, when i actually started to feel guilty about showing up at 2 with my offpeak so i ponied up for the real deal, and got scanned like twice all season. ah well. guess i'll be a late-night weekend rider this year. less crowds, anyway.

Bear Creek PR Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) I want to clear up the question about the forgotten pass ticket. This is something that we'll issue once per season if you legitimately forget your pass at home. However, if you're an off-peak season pass holder, we won't issue the ticket during unlimited pass hours. We also require that you attach this ticket to your clothing at the Guest Services desk so that we can make sure it isn't being given to someone else. Edited October 29, 2008 by Bear Creek PR Quote

neutral Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 sooo bear creek PR... can you answer my original question?i do offpeak cause i mostly go at nights after work, but is there an 'upgrade' available for off-peak peeps who might want to go early once or twice in the season? thanks It's been answered, no.

Quote
Kyle Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 No. Why would there be? the answer to your question is in his question. its called reading comprehension Quote
burton71 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) the answer to your question is in his question. its called reading comprehension Perhaps you should work on your comprehension skills a little bit. Edited November 3, 2008 by burton71 Quote
Kyle Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 Perhaps you should work on your comprehension skills a little bit. dude learn to read he asked if theres an upgrade incase he wants to go to an unlimited pass nd you said why would there be? because he wants to go to an unlimited pass. why else? Quote
JibHonk Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 you should both learn how to love and not hate <<this is suppose to symbolize a hippy which symbolizes peace Quote
burton71 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 dude learn to read he asked if theres an upgrade incase he wants to go to an unlimited pass nd you said why would there be? because he wants to go to an unlimited pass. why else? Take your own advice about the reading thing. He is saying he has an offpeak and wants to buy a pass on a weekend morning...not upgrade to an unlimited pass. I know why he wants a discount....duh! But what is BCs incentive to give out discounts to off peak pass holders? The entire point of the off peak pass is you aren't paying for part of the season. Why should an off peak pass holder get a discount on something they haven't paid for? They are already getting a discounted rate on the part of the season they did pay for. Think about it for a minute or two. Quote
snowboarddude Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 if the question is if you can upgrade halfway through though the year you can do that. if you buy and offpeak and it just is not cutting it and you want a unlimited you can upgrade my little brother did it last year it will cost like 100$ for the upgrade Quote
