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.

I can't be happy to just meet a new friend in line at the price we pay to SKI.

the passes are not limited to weekends, so not sure how that matters. Locals have had incredibly tough years too, please remember these are people and a corporation is not, despite congress making them so legally. There are lots of ways to make money and spitting in the face of locals is not the way

No, I don't like this at all!

The 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

Mt. 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

Not on Federal, public lands. Violates tenants of Environmental Justice. Fine to have fast tracks on private ski areas.

It 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.

I don't even ski any more, but it is very elitist since those would only be available to those who can afford it. Not equal access at all!

If I buy a season pass I shouldn’t have to spend more to keep people from cutting in line ahead of me

I 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.

No 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

When 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.

Will this give them enough money to finally upgrade Sunrise to a 6 person chair and move the 4 person one to Rainbow?

Anyone 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

Penalizes 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.

This 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

As 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.

First 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.

Mt Bachelor is once again finding a way to tighten the screws even further on the largest part of their customer base. Catering to those with unlimited budgets is not the way to build loyalty among your most frequent customers.

RFK Jr. is dangerous and is dismantling health research funding and spreading false info about vaccines. The Alliance of Westcoast Governors was formed to ensure public access to credible info re: vaccine safety and efficacy. Anyone who thinks that's bad is obviously a MAGA idiot!

The people who voted "Yes" for this obviously do NOT know the law. It is unlawful for T to send national guard troops into ANY state uninvited! He is just trying to intimidate and terrorize blue states, when red states have much higher rates! He is the felon/criminal who needs to be behind bars!
