Is that date range correct? $200 for 4 months?

Maybe that's normal, idk. 

Put another way that is the same as 4 single day passes. One day a month for four months.

Keep in mind that buying land, installing a lift, powering the lift, maintaining the whole place is expensive. And it all has to be paid with lift ticket revenue.

Just curious since I'm not a golfer - what are green fees running these days??? How does a full day on the lift compare with a game of golf?

And don't forget insurance. I'm sure that's going to be a big bite. And labor expense. And repairs. And marketing. And, well, you get the idea.

Golf green fees range from $25 to $75, more or less, in this area. And a round only takes 4 -4 1/2 hours.

Yeah and all these others have way more trails and way more elevation. If I were them it would be $200 for the year to test ridership potential.

I wondered if it was supposed to be Jan19-Apr20 to be honest. 

Still can't wait to go back out there, but I'll be lucky to ride 4x a year, let alone once a month.

FR512 is $90/yr. unlimited access to FR512 RHR and Cat Mtn

 

cat mtn has about 350-370' elevation change, and about 12-15 trails. and is in austin. just thought id throw that out there..

i already contributed hugely to spider mountain by lending A LOT of help building the existing trails there, and will be a supporter after they open, but want to see more trails there

Difference for me is that I don't take myself and 3 kids golfing with me.  $200 per day to go do lift-serv is just not something that we'll do (ever...or very often).  I completely understand the economics for them, and I COMPLETELY hope they can pull it off.  But when I have to multiply my entry by a factor of 2-4 it changes things for me.

This is pretty much the same thing that happened to me in the MX world.  For me an 2 of my kids to go race MX bikes for the weekend, it would cost me $250-350.  We did that once, before I decided to ride just for fun at cheap(er) (non)events.
