    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.
    You guys** sound poor.

    No crowds on weekdays.

    I was going to say that the poors ski "ride" midweek because they don't have a jerb or they work weekends, then there's the group that ski mid-week because they're so rich they don't have to work or work whenever they want. Or the retired.

    I don’t see myself doing it. The chairs I’m usually on - Northwest and Outback - never seem to get that busy even on the weekends.

    It will be funny to see how it plays out because the pours and threatening too boo and shit talk the fast pass bros.

    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.

    $49 to skip lines doesn't seem that unreasonable to me, if lines are an issue. I'm not a skier and deaf, but I don't see the big deal here.

    That would be a cunty thing to do. If I’m on the fast pass and get shit talked, im giving them a thumbs up and getting on the chair. If I’m with someone talking shit to fast passers, I’m bombing down the hill and ditching them the rest of the day.
