Is it? I guess I'm spoiled from not doing downhill.
Season pass looks to be the same as Keystone's summer pass (Ray's day passes are cheaper though), but that's the only price I'm familiar with. But yeah, it's all cheap when you compare to ski. I guess I didn't think of it that way...I was comparing it more to the climbing gym prices (which are pretty dirt cheap, comparatively, at least for the ones I've been at). I'd still pay it without a second thought if I were in the area though.
James, I'm not sure you can compare a bike park to the trainer. I've never been to Ray's, but I've been at plenty of pump tracks and skate parks and I've ridden the trainer, and I can't see how they'd compare even with a roof overhead. But hey, to each their own.
