Wrestling with uphilling options

Later this week, the Whiteface Ski Area will begin to allow uphilling from 6-8am, three mornings a week. As a previous season pass holder, my season pass will be $59 (doubling in price), but the handwriting is on the wall, as first timers will pay $129. Seems outrageous, but they are the only game in town, or are they?

Thursday or Friday morning I am going to see if I can do laps before Pisgah opens at 10 am. Another option, is the 75 minute drive to Titus for a $14 day use uphill pass. Or, I could buy a senior lift ticket - giving me access for laps - and then ride chairlifts for the rest of the day for $29. 

It's time to make some real turns, not toll road style.
