This is a good read. Aside from an understanding of the disparity between cheaper season passes and $200+ day passes it outlines the greater effects on these consolidated resort's communities. CB and the Gunnison Valley are certainly unique beasts but there is a lot to learn from the experiences of these other communities. www.outsideonline.com/2389964/ski-pass-epic-ikon?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campai...
Actually, the Mega Season Pass Is Killing Skiing

The recent additions to the Epic Pass highlight, again, the massive consolidation occurring across the ski industry, which is driving up rents and turning mountain towns into company towns
The only reason a One Day Pass is 200+ is to force Skiers to buy Year Pass. The business model failed. Vail Resorts was looking at the Ski Industry like a Hedge Fund. It ruined Mom and Pop Ski Areas and the Industry IMO - I Love going to A-Basin - Loveland - Monarch - Purgatory etc. - So many beginner skiers and crowded. Heck Vail Owns CBMR now so that was a sell out also. Where does it end ? One Big Corporation Ownes 90% of the Ski Resorts ? Ridiculous and Bad Business
