biga9999 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Is that date range correct? $200 for 4 months? Maybe that's normal, idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

biga9999 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Prob just not for me. $600 for a year doesn't make sense for me. Prob does for other folks who can get out there more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Bamwa Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't wait to go back out there, but I'll be lucky to ride 4x a year, let alone once a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seths Pool Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) 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 Edited December 23, 2018 by Seths Pool 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Later, -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuitbreaker Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Why is the pass only valid for 3 months? this doesn't make any sense to me. i'll probably drop the $50 one time just because i have not done lift access before, but the prices seem quite steep for what you're getting.
