Guys, I need some clarification on Spider Mountain pricing in order to set expectations with management. Everybody talks about the lift tix being $50 but from what I can tell from the site, you need a land pass to get in as well. Another $50.
From the site:
$50 - Our bike park lift ticket includes one full day of unlimited uplift access.
$50 - Even if you aren't riding the lift you need to stop by the ticket office and purchase a land access day pass.
That sounds like $100 to me. What got me to thinking was the pricing and verbiage around the season pass:
$199 - Our bike park season pass is good for unlimited uplift access until 4/30/19.
That doesn't sound like any sort of season, at least not around here. Assuming that was posted in, say, January - Jan 1 thru Apr 30? 4 months? That's an odd length of time and an odd time of year to boot. *I* interpreted it as a year pass that gets you park access (land access) AND lift access until Apr 30, then after that you can get in for free (until, say, Jan 1 2020) but you have to buy a lift ticket if you want to ride the lift. I could be wrong. It got me to thinking, though, like I said. It seems to highlight a distinction between getting into the park and getting lift access. Either that or they really are talking about a third of a year, which seems weird to me.
So am I looking at this wrong? Does the $50/lift, $50/access thing mean they want to get $50 out of you to step into the park, and if you want to ride the lift then that's OK, or do they really want $100/day for the full experience?
