Crystal Closes its Doors to Walk-up Lift Tickets

Interesting article over at Powder on Crystal Mountain discussing season passes, over crowding, day ticket sales, and parking. The final insight is ...

"The greater concern is that this turn towards pass holders and away from day users is unsustainable. Catering to pass holders is great in theory—save the mountain for the core skiers. But skiing is shrinking, and you can’t grow the sport without introducing new skiers. Supporting the core community works in the short term, but greater action needs to be taken in order to preserve the sport for the future."
