if people are saying "Im not buying a pass to PC now." Because someone posted something on the least legit forums in all the world without any real facts or anything, then your fucking dumb.
It will be the same as every other year, PC understands that their parks, pipes, events, etc are what puts them on a tourists' map. Not because the families ski park, but because their little bastard children hear of it in magazines and in Snowboarders top parks, etc. Look what having a good park for one year did for the canyons tourism.
