Quick off topic question, what do you guys do for ski passes? I'm just starting this year and don't have hundreds to drop on a pass..anybody help me out?Comment
-
just bought a 5 pack to winter park since i won't be making it up too much this year, but usually I find someone to split a BOGO with.Comment

HOWEVER
there are a few options for passes. The Winter Park/Mary Jane pass can be had cheaper if you open a checking account with some bank I forget....but that option might have passed by now.
Four-Packs are a good choice, generally ~$150 for four days. Depends on the resort.
CU students could get a 6-pack to Steamboat for ~$100, but I'm honestly not sure if that is still an option or if non-CU students can get it.
Figure out how much you plan on going skiing/riding, and get the pass that makes it cheapest. The cheapest time to get a pass is always a few weeks before the season starts. Same with gear.
There's no really cheap way to get a pass......you just have to suck it up. This is the same reason I've stopped going, at $75/day it's just too much without a pass, and I haven't gone enough to justify a pass recently. The four/six packs are wicked deals, so that's what I generally get.Comment

They're actually the ones lowering our prices since they pay the high prices during the peak season.Originally posted by Bimmerman325i View Post
Ticket prices go up annually because of the rising costs of electricity (democrats won't let us build nuclear power plants, and keep pushing this wind energy BS), inflation thanks to the progressivist enabled Federal Reserve, and because of the rising costs of water (all of our water is going to the yuppies in SoCal).Comment

Inflammatory statement is inflammatory.Originally posted by Roland H
Take a class or do some research on energy sources, especially regarding the levelized cost of different sources (coal, nuclear, wind) with and without government subsidies. That is the $/kWh for the plant in current year money that takes into account maintenance cost, capital cost, investor payback, salvage cost, annualized per year, and divided by expected yearly energy output. They all are more or less the same when you factor plant lifespan and expected energy output into account. Research and look into the topics, and you'll have more informed and believable opinions. Things are vastly more complex than simply blaming everything you find disagreeable on the other guy.
As for ticket cost increasing with increasing electricity cost..... correlation does not prove causation. Just because two things increase does not mean they are related in the slightest. The far more likely reason is that the population of Colorado has increased dramatically in the last decade, mostly due to an influx of people from California and Texas. More people = more money to spend = more demand for the same land, thus ticket price increases to prevent slope overcrowding and to rob us blind.Last edited by Bimmerman325i; 11-27-2010, 08:02 PM.Comment
