Season Passes...

Looks like the e-mails are starting to roll out.

Of course, they don't have anyone proofreading them.

Maybe awknowledge is them saying that they awkwardly acknowledge that covid will be around next year too. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Covid will be an endemic as opposed to a pandemic.  

[mikes781]

Yep. Got mine this morning. 28% increase over the 429 price the past few years. I think I paid 399 last year. The writing was on the wall when they were selling out even with the higher COVID prices. Saving money though...

Life will not be back to "normal" next ski season. This pandemic will have long-term implications that will result in changes that will last a while. I imagine the reservation system might be one of them.

here's what you're losing from the current year's benefits --

-10% Discount on Lift Tickets & Rentals
-10% Discount on Summer Activities 
-Access to Season Pass holder summer party 
-3 ski/ride days at Ski Cooper

here's what you gain - an ambiguous perk at best.

-Access to special season pass holder promotional discounts throughout the year!

How low will daily new cases have to be for life to get back to normal?

Nope.  Using it to offset the increased SP price.

I always thought those lockers were dumb.  I wonder if any ding dongs keep their ski boots in them.

I obviously don't have that answer, but I believe mitigation efforts will continue as long as it is around.

It's handy to hold my mogul skis, as I don't have to load them on the rack each morning.
I never know whether I'm gonna use them or not.

at least they have a plausible reason for a price increase with the new lift.

the only reason covid protocols are staying around is because they are making money hand over fist with the new ticketing practices. 109 for a wknd pass is robbery.

Can go on a weekday for $69 for 8 hours or $49 for 4 hours.  Even less when purchased well in advance.  It’s not robbery if people are willing to pay for it.

I sort of wonder where all the people who boot up in the lower lodge keep their stuff. I guess some put in an empty locker or walk stuff back to car.  Friday AM those benches were so full of people booting up.  People were even changing in the bathroom. Nothing like changing into ski gear with the smell of urine and feces.  I always find it hilarious when people can’t drive up to the mountain in their ski pants.  Equally funny is people pulling into blues lot with their mask already on.

glad I can create some laughs for you. I can't stand wearing ski pants when driving. I get too warm.

Turn down the heat.  I don’t wear anything under my ski pants except boxers though. I’m at work a lot of days in my ski pants for 4-5 hours.

Would create more laughs if you stuffed your tights with a large banana.
