    When I first started snowboarding, I was a broke college student. Just go late afternoon and buy or ask for day pass tickets from people leaving. I know its illegal, but a college student gotta do what they gotta do to enjoy the slopes.

      Not illegal at all. Just against the made up rules of the resort, they can make up any rule they want but that doesn’t make it right or illegal.

        Well, it makes it trespassing, which is definitely illegal.

          I think the slope can “ban” you if you get caught. But I didn’t. Now I’m better off, I always give my passes to college kids trying to buy my old passes.

            Oh don’t get me wrong, morally I completely agree with you. Especially at Vail resorts, which are absolutely criminally priced.

            I was just arguing a technicality because it’s the internet and that’s, you know, what we do.
