Fast Tracks: Paying to Cut the Line

That's my guess. It's the same reason they don't have it on North Ridge early season. On November 19, the most they'll have open is the K1, North Ridge, and Snowdon Six. That means only 2 lifts with Fast Tracks. It could also happen where they get totally skunked on snowmaking next week and still only have North Ridge open, making Fast Tracks completely useless. Of course they'll open more lifts the following 2 weekends, but by December 11, they should have a significant amount of terrain open, possibly extending into Needle's Eye.

Turns out the four Powdr resorts are starting Fast Tracks on different dates. Only way to know is to go to a Buy Online webpage and get into the calendar for selecting a date.

Copper: opening day, Nov. 30?
Snowbird: Dec. 1
Killington: Dec. 11
Mt. Bachelor: Dec. 18

Copper and Killington use the word "Premium." Snowbird and Bachelor called Fast Tracks an "Upgrade."

My first job in ski country was managing lift lines at Attitash in 1992... People who think Fast Tracks is no biggie never stood in the snow for an 8 hr day in sub zero temperatures dealing with assholes who think they should be in front of everyone else.

Assholes a theory.
Enjoy.
