I just looked at the policy at CB - to have a night pass you have to be under 18 (and will also most likely be in school). What's the big deal? The kid that got a night pass gets a weekend to ski without having to wait the first weeks out because of being in school or the hill not open at nights.
If anything - it looks like good customer service to give some opportunity to all pass holds to get out. Mon - Fri pass holders can still get out the days the pass allows.
If CB did nothing, no one would have had anything to complain about, except the night skiers that would have to wait at least a week to get out. What's crazy is that CB broke a policy to get night pass holders --- kids that are in school --- a chance to ski --- a good thing -- and people are giving them crap? It seems that CB cares about the Night Pass Holder, and that's the cheapest tier?
