Big Sky is going to charge separately for Tram access next season!?!?

So is this a trend? Are ski areas going to charge for access to specific lifts now?
Think about the trends--paying a premium for no black out dates, paying a premium for parking, paying a premium to get super early lift rides. I think ski areas are learning from airlines.....

I agree. I think we're going to see more of this in the future.

Sunday River started early access on Sundays last season, they open some lifts 30 mins early for those people. Previously it was just Platinum passes but next season it looks like you will have to add on in general if you want it, they haven't announced that how it'll work yet. However, I see this as a bit different from the Tram issue. I've never had access to certain lifts at 7:30am versus 8am regular opening time, so they aren't taking it away from everyone it's just an add on for those who want it. In Big Sky's case everyone had access to the tram before and they are taking it away now.

I'm curious if they'll get backlash next season on this, it'll be interesting to see.

I agree that this is probably the way of the future, but I really dislike it..
