20% raise in college student passes this season... guess I saw that one coming.
Just to rub it in, there's now a helpful link to the "helicopter skiing" offered by the Texans down the road.
Glad I can pitch in for the new mid-mountain eatery...

All you college discount bitches can cry me a river. Boo frikkity hoo!
Hmm, Alta might lose some of their sell-em-passes-during-their-last-term-then-quickly-pull-their-pass-in-the-new-year customers. Careful Alta, that is a fairly large piece of the pie.
Hurts even more when you just spent $430 on airfare too, eh? ;)Quote:

on a similar note, nice to see they didn't raise the regular pass price at all, when the Bonar's down the street thought it'd be cool to increase by a cool G just to pay for their friggin tunnel and Hidden Peak grease pit.
If mile 7 to mile 8 of Highway 210 ceased to exist sometime in the near future, it wouldn't hurt my feelings any.
BTW, 2:30 TH?? Go drink some more Starbucks quadruple xpresso.
Snowbird raised their pass price a thou? :nonono2:
Helloooooooooo, Solitude!
What's the going rate these days?
That is what is nice about CO. I can get a WP/MJ and Copper Mtn pass for like three fiddy.
Cue thrashing of Colorado skiing!Quote:

$480 for a college student Alta pass this year, 72Twenty.
There's also no arguing that Utahns get a deal on reDONKulously good snow that would make Coloraddyans poo their pants.Quote:

Bleh, has this always been in the fine print "Must be a student throughout the 2005-2006 ski season."? Do they not issue until you have a spring schedule?
Putting a dent in my plans...
Just as long as it comes back when Alta closes and you want to ride the Bird, right?Quote:

As long as your graduation date doesn't say "December 2005" you should be fine. They verify your enrollment for fall term and then check again after New Years....Quote:

sounds like she could pull off the psuedo fall registration and fall back on her actual spring registration for when they really start squeezing the students.Quote:

I think Alta's rad and have fun when I ski there. It's just silly to buy a split pass or ride the Bird and then dis it like X did.Quote:

silvr card still in the mix, but have to show UT ID each time ya use it.
transferable between Utards tho
oops, thanx for the correction APD, meant too type a cool "hundy" not "G"
oh, and ya frizzle de schnizzle, if we got snow guaranteed every year like last year I wouldn't hesitate to perform one dick sucking of Alta or Ullr for what we had last season .... just as long as I didn't have to swallow ;)
regardless of ut or co, still a small price to pay for lift served skiing for all you lazy lift served fat asses ;) if ya ask me :biggrin:
now go back to your couches and drink more beer
p.s. i like "dissing" the bird cause it always get's frizzies panties in a wad :biggrin: that backcuntry store job must really be stressing you out this summer :p

Wait, is Gramps serious? $479 for a season pass sounds pretty fucking good to this cubemonkey who has to shell out 1200 for the altabird combo.
Hence, the boo frikkity hoo.Quote:

has to?Quote:
