Meadows and Ikon pass acquired. Prepare thyself for a shite snowpack because I bought passes. Finally. You're welcome.

That's about the usual time. Early they were saying 12.6.21. Buy $49 fast pass, lift breaks down. Welcome to Mt.Bachelor.

When i first clicked on the link on my phone, the Fast Tracks popup didn’t pop up…now I see it on a different device

So, yeah, $49 to jump in the lesson line? Assholes

[TBS]

^^^ I’m not seeing it on my phone either.

So gaper tourons can pay $50 to jump the line eh. This will not go over well in a morning lineup. Guessing some locals will have unkind words as well as snowballs for these assholes.

On the brighter side it looks like masks will not be required in the lift line? Just indoors?

Gotta keep skiing accessible to rich dentists on vacation. Can’t let the working class locals get in the way.

Winter adventures await! Mt. Bachelor will welcome passholders and visiting guests back on snow for Opening Day on Friday, November 26. New for winter 2021/22 is the Mt. Bachelor app — download for free starting November 1 — offering real-time alerts on weather, lift status, and resort news in addition to features like Track My Turns, Find My Friends, Lift Wait Times, and more! Also new for winter 2021/22 is Fast Tracks – your limited, daily upgradeable product for gaining access to more laps, more pow, and more stoke! Parking is first-come, first-serve — no reservations required for winter 2021/22, besides limited premium paid parking at West Village Lodge and Sunrise Lodge parking lots. Mt. Bachelor will continue to prioritize the wellbeing of our guests, teams, and community throughout the season by following all local and state COVID-19 guidelines. For the latest updates resort-wide, see below.

assholes.

Wonder if Shea will let us post pics of Fast Track Fools (tm) on the Conditions page…

There could be a Wall of Shame with photos so if we see FTFs on the hill we can mock them.

For a minimum of $49 (dynamic pricing!) you too can get heckled in the lift line, outed and ridiculed on the interwebs. Another facet of “The Mt Bachelor Experience”

[::: :::]

So, how high will it dynamically stretch on a powder day?

[TBS]

^^^ You’re a wealthy dentist. How much would you pay to not stand in line for 45 min (tops) to get first 10(?) chairs @ Pine on a pow Saturday?

[mattig]

It's cute how you're all cranky about this but secretly thrilled you might get quicker ups on those 2-4 special 3D days.


Now, if all that shit is sold out far in advance, yeah... That'd be fucked.

Oh and if it's 150 bucks on a pow day, that'd be fucked too, but people will pay it. Even people in lower income brackets--especially if it's their one big pow day that year.

[::: :::]

It’s all empty talk to me…ain’t no IKON up in this house…

[jonesy]

I don't have powder skis so I can't ski pow and most of the time I'm in the bar so no BFD.

[TBS]

To paraphrase spook
Any skis can be pow skis if you’re brave enough

[Toadman]

^^^ You’re a wealthy dentist. How much would you pay to not stand in line for 45 min (tops) to get first 10(?) chairs @ Pine on a pow Saturday?

What happens when you have 100 Fastpassers in line for Summit on a bluebird 20" blower pow day? Do they let all 100 load up before all us non-FP wankers? Or will they let a few groups of 4 go, and then a group of losers go?

[jonesy]

[atree]

Wtf. Who’s the db who thought this was a good idea? Has this been implemented at other resorts? The forecast calls for pain.
