So, same thing as the Disney "fast pass" for Disneyland.
The logic against seems to be that a resort like Bachelor operates on US Forest Service land, so there's a bit of a egalitarian thing going on here. Disneyland being private property can gouge the fuck out of everyone as much as they want. Shit I spent like a $100.00 alone on blended margs at California Adventure this past August.
Speaking of Disneyland, what can we do @UW_Doog_Bot to get them to start selling drinks in the OG park?
Titanic and airlines are more analogous to the Disneyland in regards to being private businesses. Bachelor is MY hill but I don't have a strong opinion either way. I get both sides but if I'm buying a lift ticket, I'd upgrade to the fast pass no problem on a busy weekend. Mid week or during shitty weather, there's no need.

Skiing is a rich man's game even for the pours. I paid $1,079 for my season pass.
I don't think you're a SR throbber yet, but Silver Mt is only $499 for a season.
I'm out $1750 in season passes this year - IKON and Stevens.

I paid $135.00 for my military Epic Pass. Good at all the North American ski areas owned by. Vail. I’ll be hitting Whistler and Park City for sure.
TYFYS!
PM me if you need any free, expert Park City advice.
I haven’t been there since the mid-90’s so I’m sure it’s changed. My neighbor is from Utah so I’ve got the insider info already.
Park City has mostly changed for the worst since the mid 1990's, but this was bound to happen. It's simply too much of a quality year round destination within 30 mins of SLC. The only ski towns that have been able to retain some of their small town charm our the places that are still hard to get to.
Park City and Deer Valley used to basically be mom and pop, privately held outfits that treated the locals well and didn't care about quarterly earnings reports. Vail and Altera are there to make a buck and it shows, which is fine. We're not communists here.
Never been to Bachelor, worth the drive from Seattle or should I fly to Utah?
I think Bachelor is a far better mountain that Crystal or Stevens. But would I drive 5.5 to 6.5 hrs from Seattle to ski it? Probably not. SLC is such an easy flight.

Is Baker worth my time? Tons of snow but I have no idea of the layout and lifts.

Baker is on my bucket list this year. I haven't been, but it appears to have the best terrain and snow locally. This perception is only based on the social media posts that come out of there vs the other local mountains which I ski regularly (I prefer steep technical terrain). The downside is it's 3+ hrs from Seattle - which sucks and has kept me away.

On the way back down, hit up the North Fork Brewery. Great beer, good pizza.

I haven't skied there in 20 plus years. It gets the most snow of any resort in N. America so there's that. It's just such a haul.

I have in-laws near Lynden. Might give it a go this season.
