Dropped from the Max Pass next year so maybe they are actually trying to reduce crowds!
Stevens Pass sucks

Pretty sure it has nothing to do with capacity issues and is everything to do with maximizing profit. They're part of the cascadia pass thing instead next season.

the idiots at Stevens always say they're doing everything to reduce crowds... BS
These guys are absolutely doing everything they can to maximize profit which is no way to run a ski area. Profiting is obviously important but maximizing profit at the cost of the user experience is shit... "we are trying to reduce crowds" while at the same time they EXPAND PARKING! Think about that... you have a mountain that is already absurdly overcrowded and you expand parking so more ppl can come up?? :dry: Blow my mind. Anyway, rant over.

They bumped the prices up this year too. I don't think I would say they suck ass, but I would for sure say they need to get their shit together.
An expansion would be heavenly but they should consider opening up more towards end season and have less facilities.

Whatever happen to the expansion they were suppose to do ? If I remember right it was suppose to be done 2017-2018 season and back then I thought they need to hurry I'm not getting younger.
They had plans on their website that showed the the upgrades, which didn't really add any terrain. I believe there was a new chair that loaded at the R.V. lot (moving the R.V. lot over by the terrain park), then another chair that you'd access by heading towards the terrain park but then turn left into the woods and there was also a new lodge that was suppose to be built at the top of Barrier.
A close friend used to stay up there in his van every January, one day he told me he went for a walk and counted 86 greyhound buses, not counting school buses or all of the vehicles parked in Sultan or the east side then getting bused up.
What pisses me off the most about not only Stevens, but Baker, Crystal and Mission Ridge) is they're over crowded, over priced which has kept me from keeping my kids in a sport that is my life. When my buddies and I started boarding in '85 skiing was dying so the resorts had $10 lift tickets and NO crowds, now with the skiing and boarding being such huge sports and the area having way too much growth, they can do and charge whatever they, because they know there are enough people that love riding.

Yeah, seems like new owners halted any expansion plans. They were supposed to add lifts and open more terrain, but no sign of that. Lame.

Old new owners or new new owners? Didn't they just get bought out this year?
