At that price it's not at K-1 Pub anymore! I'm not sure if this is just a money grab or an attempt limit drinking at K.

Beast 365 should come with a 50% discount on alcohol. They would double sales. Win win.

They are going to charge what the market will bear. My guess is that the lodge bars will still be packed. That being said, we won't be there. Our spending habits have changed as a result of the overall sky high inflation of the past 3 years.

Drinks are much cheaper in bay 1. If it's above 20 degrees then I have no problem tailgating. Drinks are generally a dollar or two cheaper at bear and skyeship for the cold days.

Fill your camelback with your favorite beer or alcohol drink. Nothing to see here, just rehydrating.

Agree, it will likely still be packed. I'm not saying I'll never go in for an apres ski drink - but if those prices are accurate, I'll be much less likely to do so and will do so much less often.

Already, with the inflated food prices, I purchased lunch much less often than I used to.

I used my 1st Camelback for mixed drinks once, and that taste never washed-out so I wouldn’t recommend doing that. It was a long time ago though when they first were invented so maybe the bladder material is different now, and had used it in hot weather so that may had something to do with it also. I just know I’ll never put anything but water in my current ones.

$16 is insane! They'll keep charging it though and many people will keep buying it. I guarantee it. I'll just go back to my condo at the end of the day and have a beer. Craft beers are the biggest ripoff too. I'm not a big craft beer fan. I'm fine with just a blue moon or similar.

Before we get too carried away....

Season pass gets 15% off food and beverage, so the $16.75 Fiddlehead is $14.25
Beast 365 gets 25% off food and beverage, so the $16.75 Fiddlehead is $12.55

Daytrippers pay the most. Bud is likely less.

So the skiing sucks and we can’t afford to drink there. Does Killington actually need a lesson in how the “Bread and Circus” concept is supposed to work?

I like to think I'm pretty good at not paying the most, and I grow my own bud so it's definitely less! :banana:
