It's going to be a lot harder to capture Gaper Spirit Animal on film/video.. They will no longer be in the lift line..
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

FWIW, if I had the funds, and it would take a lot, I'd totally do it. Makes a holiday or peak weekend day more like a midweek day. Some folks make pretty damned good money but can't easily take a weekday off to avoid crowds.. Workaholics like that also aren't always in good enough shape to rock BC or cat/heli skiing. This will be the folks paying for that..

I'd be embarrassed to be in that 'fast track' line. Even being the best fucking skier on the mountain riding a snowboard.

Targhee runs an early tracks program where guided groups can ski for a half hour or so before the lifts open. There's always been an unspoken, or sometimes spoken, agreement that they ski specific areas of the mountain so that you know to go elsewhere for untracked snow. The year of covid they started breaking with this and running multiple large groups. It finally came to a head with snowballs, verbal abuse, ski patrol threatening to pull passes and call the sheriff etc. They seem to have it back on track now.

My god, ya'll sound like old people. Especially Benny, who is worrying about whose job it is gonna be. Don't worry dude, I'm sure the corps are all over that and don't need your input.
Sierra at Tahoe had a seasonal program like this for years. Rarely did it effect the humble masses. On storm days, I never once saw anyone use those lines. Bluebird Saturday was perhaps different.
Kirkwood used to have a Black Pass that allowed you to skip lines and bring along other friends to fill the chair. You could not use this privilege for first chair on a powder day. I lined up with a maggot and two friends a ecde or so ago on a gorgeous powder morning. After that, we never waited in a line. One of the best on hill powder days. Instead of going to line up for chair 10 when before it opened we just lapped chair 6 until chair 10 started loading and we skied right on past all the poor folks and onto like 12th chair.
I'm sure the humble masses all fucking hated us, but seriously, it effected them by waiting one more chair (there were not that many Black Passes out there).
Maybe wait and see how this program ends up effecting your skiing at your local hill, and then start to complain and whine if it negatively impacts you. I don't mean you are butthurrt cause a few rich folks boarded before you, but actually impacts your wait times by more than a few chairs. Or not, and just bitch abut it all fall so you can get yourselves all grubbing and pissed for day one.
