What’s the precise definition of “Pass Math Broism”?

I think he is conflating bro culture in general with the act of bragging about getting your per-day costs very low. As in "Bro! I'm on day twenty! I'm down to $25 per day at this point!"

What’s the precise definition of “Pass Math Broism”?

Not sure there is a precise definition but you can get the general idea here:

Season Pass Math Fail

The price of my lift ticket never entered my mind.

What’s the precise definition of “Pass Math Broism”?

Literally my first guess was helpin fellow students get addequate grades in a mathematics course.
Might have got it correct if it was posed as a multiple guess question.

Dude I like the way you roll.

My issue with pass math is more with my own behavior regarding accepting sunken cost in the long term versus short term. That is, I have no trouble skiing only a few runs in a day on my season pass, but if I buy a day pass somewhere I have a difficult time not forcing myself to ski until the lifts close. My wife does not share this deficit in the slightest.

I totally get that. With a day ticket you really have to think... is today going to be decent? too. Did is rain or snow on the mountain?

My issue with Pass Math Bro is that all that seems to matter is the cost per day. "On my Epic Pass I skied for $12 a day!" But yea, I was packed like a sardine in long lines all day, I paid $for 30 to park, and bought a burger for $18.

The way I look at it... I put so much effort into skiing... did I have any fun?

This is the picture I always think of when Pass Math comes up...

This was my THIRD run at open day at Plattekill in 2019. I took this picture and several others because THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME. Many consider a Plattekill pass expensive. To me it's priceless.

No argument there. I don't care how cheap they make standing in line all day, still not something I'm excited about.

Come to think of it, if there was a liftline, you'd see it in that picture.

My gosh where are all the people? If that were Bristol Mountain that powder would have been skied off before the third run.
