An interesting thought from Rob Klenz

Say I was thinking, the parks whole premise is based on the idea they are saving money by doing this. A lot of petition signers have said they aren't going to be buying park passes. If even 1000 people didn't buy a family pass, that would be about $77,000 the park wouldn't see. There is no way that packing the ski trails is going to cost that much money, so its quite possibel that the park will actually have less money to "transfer to summer activities".
