(COWBOY STATE DAILY) – Skiers have been complaining about the cost of season passes for years, and this year’s no different. An Epic Pass, which gives you unlimited access to more than 40 ski resorts across North America, Europe and Australia jumped from $909 last season to $1,107 this season. A season pass at Grand Targhee Resort in Alta, Wyoming, will run you $1,774. Aspen-Snowmass in Colorado, one of the nation’s most expensive resorts, offers a season “premier” pass for $3,599.

And then there’s Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, which this week offered an exclusive luxury season pass for $10,000, according to the online ski magazine SnowBrains.

“The first time I saw it I said, ‘You’re kidding. Someone made this up. It’s almost like an Onion article,” said Scott Williams, a former Jackson firefighter. “But it isn’t.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
