No, I don't like this at all!
Everyone should be treated on a first come first served basis like they always have.
Reply ReplyThe season pass is already insanely expensive, especially for being a PWDR Cp area but you get no perks at other mtns. The fast track move goes against the core principles of fun and freedom in the mountains, and is a great way to stifle local engagement and suffocate what spirit is left on bachy
Reply ReplyMt. Bachelor runs their business on OUR public land. If they let somebody buy an express pass and cut the line, that means we wait that much longer and get that much less skiing collectively. That means they are selling something they STOLE from us. It's a blatant slap in the face to our communit
Reply ReplyNot on Federal, public lands. Violates tenants of Environmental Justice. Fine to have fast tracks on private ski areas.
Reply ReplyIt let's people with money go ahead of others. That is something done at a place like Universal Studios, but it does not work at a ski slope when locals have been going to Mt. Bachelor for years.
Reply ReplyGreat. Now we have first class and economy on the ski hill. Way to go guys.
Reply ReplyI do not ski but this is catering to the entitled rich folks, and they should wait just like everyone else. This shows Mt. Bachelor is all about raking in the dollars. Very sad.
Reply ReplyNo I don't like catering to the rich so they can use less of their time waiting in line. No I don't approve of how you handle covid demanding people get in buses that cost twice as much as the season before and limiting parking pushing people into crowded buses with strangers. Greedy greedy shame
Reply ReplyWhen I purchased my family's season passes last Spring, Fast Tracks passes were not disclosed. I also want to bring up the price increase for non-powered RV parking spots from $20 to $50 for the 2020 season. How is this 250% increase justified? Mt. Bachelor used to be a locals mountain.
Reply ReplyWill this give them enough money to finally upgrade Sunrise to a 6 person chair and move the 4 person one to Rainbow?
Reply ReplyAnyone in such a hurry can already opt for the singles line. As a weekly business traveler for years, TSA pre check and Clear made sense to me. There is and should not be any equivalent when it comes to recreation. Really bad idea for the culture of this mountain
Reply ReplyPenalizes middle income families. Should have announced it before we bought our season passes. I'll not buy them next year if this is still in place.
Reply ReplyThis is a complete slap in the face of the local rider, especially after such a tough 19 months of COVID. It is inequitable and shows utter disregard for local and mountain code. First in line gets the fresh. This is yet another move by PWDR to make more money and cut local ties. They took away this
Reply ReplyAs if Mt. Bachelor hasn't done enough to alienate and aggravate local ski enthusiasts, they have decided to wipe out any remaining good will with this shameless, line-cutting money grab.
Reply ReplyIt’s going to ruin the experience for the locals and if you look at powdr’s mission it goes against it so obviously.
Reply ReplyFirst they got rid of the points pass. Then they got rid of the 12 day "because it wasn't popular." Now this. Hoodoo is looking better each year.
Reply ReplyToo elitist, catters to the rich. Not fair to the public in general; including locals!

Aren't we fortunate to have a place like Mt. Bachelor in our backyard? They have had a couple of financially challenging years due to COVID and if they can make some of that up via the Fast Pass, they should be allowed to. Try to ski mid-week or just be happy to meet a new friend in line.
