This year, they are only LETTING 12 Paradise coaches BUY the discounted passes and to the rest of us they are giving the multi week passes (4 days for training, 6 days for coaching, and 2 additional days=$540 worth of skiing) for FREE!!!!! They are willing to give us that much free skiing, per person, but won't let us BUY the damn discounted passes. I understand that they want us to buy a full price pass, but I am inclined to take my free skiing and then go buy a $250 student pass to Alpie...FUCKERS FUCKERS FUCKERS. I love that mountain and the locals there, but the management sucks. I can't say how much longer I am willing to pay for passes there. And that folks is the saga of Girlski's pass, 04-05...
Yeah, I bought the $330 pass when I was a coach. It was a great deal for me, because I was still living at home and didn't have any real expenses at all. I could have had $0 in the bank and still had plenty to eat and a place to sleep (I love you mom and dad :D ). Now that I'm out in the big, bad world though, I'm only willing to sacrifice ski days if i can get a free pass out of it.
Buy the Alpie pass. I bought it last year, and it was great. I felt like I was stealing from the mountain because I made the pass soooo worth it. It's too cheap not to buy, really, and Alpie is so close that you can go up after class/work/whatever. It's not a sunup-to-sundown deal like Crystal is. Alpie is a lot of fun, too.
As much as I really love skiing Crystal, you could just flip them the :fuckyou:Quote:
