This isn't the answer, but it's something.

Yeah, you know it's the modern world of flash mobs on social media. Some say, eh, this has been done a lot, but let's see what happens in 21/22.

Yeah...Ol' Jm Dandy seems to be petitioning for salve to treat his Long-time-Local butthurt.
I don't like the idea either, but that petition isn't gonna get it done.
And hitting FastTrackWankers(tm) with snowballs is gonna get passes pulled
A chorus of boos as FTWs load would be much more effective IMHO

Edit to add - from Bend Bulletin newspaper https://www.bendbulletin.com/localst...k7lA01fwj27mLE
Leigh Capozzi, director of brand and communications at Mt. Bachelor, said the pricing for the Fast Tracks pass will be the same for season-pass or single-day ticket holders. Fast Tracks ticket holders will have a dedicated lane at each chairlift, she said.
“Fast Tracks will have a capped inventory each day, and we anticipate the limited quantity sold will have minimal impact — if any — on wait times,” Capozzi said.Last edited by TBS; 10-13-2021 at 11:22 AM.

I suspect what they mean is that if you're in the "regular" line and it's gonna take 10 minutes... it's gonna be 10 minutes regardless of the Fast Pass line. Obviously, it's going to be a *bit* longer, assuming there are a few Fast Pass folks that come during that 10 minutes... but perhaps negligible?
Seriously - they've done this at Copper Mountain for several years and it's a non-event from my experience as a plebe.

Where's the Inglorious Bastards Fast Tracks rant video?
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

This is the correct answer anytime Aspen is mentioned.
I lulzed. Mucho
Yup, this.
It won't really affect your wait time if you're just a regular schmuck waiting in line. But if you're the bougie Fast-Passer, you don't wait. That's how that quote reads to me.
and with that, we can close the thread

maybe a bit cheaper depending on how often it's used, but it's this really much different than a private skischool lesson that skips the lines? I suppose it's all day, but does anyone really need to skip lines to hunt pow in the afternoon?

Where was Ron when Oregonian co Pape sold out to Powdr? Is he cool with $100+ lift tickets?

I'm not sure how this is any different than amusement parks doing the same thing... and that (the few times I've been to a park) seems to be a non-issue.
I mean... I guess you could get all worked up about it, but is it worth even *thinking* about?

If by "tool" you mean the guy who ski untracked all day and every waited in a lift line at no extra cost to himself, then, yup, that is me.
If by "tool' you mean the person who gets used by the system, worked up and then whines about shit on the internet and starts online petitions at change, org, no, that would be ya'll.
Honestly - if you had the chance to not wait in lines on a powder day for free, are you saying you would not do it, and instead stay with the masses OR would you ski untracked all day without ever needing to hike? I did the later, and it was super fun. Thanks to the Maggot who had the black pass (which he got for free, if that matters) that let me be part of his lift group.
Ya'll can complain about this new thing, but the truth of the matter, is the corps don't care what we ski bum types think about it. They will only care about those who are dropping coin on a week's worth of skiing and lodging. It is like the older this group gets, the more it forgets who they are.
Oh - and Benny - go ahead and try. I could stand still 5' away from you and that snowball will miss as you sputter and dribble profanities out of your mouth. I still have not forgotten - this is ALL your fault. If you were not such an EPIC fan-boi cheerleader when this shit all started, perhaps it would not have gone down this road. I told you way back than it was just the tip of the shitberg. But you bought that damned pass anyway and look where we are today.

How is this different than congestion pricing on toll roads, which are present all over the US?
