Amortization. How I justify a $600 ski pass. If I ski 30 days, it breaks down to just $20 a day. If I average 15 runs each ski day it’s just $1.33 a run. I also end up skiing more often because my pass is already paid for.
The land is only cheap when you pretend those externalized environmental costs do not exist. They still have to be paid, usually by the public at large. I think the saying goes; socialize the cost and privatize the gains.
