Megaresort season passes are hurting the small resorts

When you can pay $600 for a season pass to all Vail resorts you arent gonna spend $50 a day on a lift ticket to go to a small place that you are bored with after a few hours.

I agree that it's just like golf now days. some of the slope areas have lost their minds on what they want to charge for someone to stay and ski for 4-5 days. It's almost not worth going anymore.

That's been Vail's business model for the last several years -- they're buying up SOME small, cheaper, local hills and adding them to the season pass.
