When I was a twenty something, lift tickets were between 40 and 45 dollars (which was about 35% of my take home pay for the week), Bear mountain, summit and Wrightwood would routinely sell out, all the bottom chairs would take about 25-30 minutes to get through the line.
Now it’s about 60 -65 dollars and most of the chairs take 2-3 minutes to get through the line.
There are a lot less local skiers/boarders these days.
