I'm not certain on the ethics involved, but I often would pair with a random dude in the ticket train, and split the face value...It's a far shout from scalpin' the damn things though...
It's a world class ski spot, that is not to be contested, but I will have a hard time ponying up the full face unless a big dumper comes through....
No ethics problem here. It's "two for the price of one", sharing it is fine, selling it is not.
I've solicited the ticket line to split a two for one, and see no issue with this. Struck up good conversations with those who have accepted, and the mt gets two people on the hill spending money for the day.
Some people will look you up and down sceptically thinking you're trying to take advantage somehow. I suppose that's just a sign of the times, or the fact that they notice I'm wearing telemark boots.
???
The couple times I've done this, I've noticed that most people arriving have passes or pre-purchased tickets.
I have had someone approach me in line and ask if they could cut in line with me, and get their free ticket when I buy mine... Yeah, right!
Sharing=brilliant
Mooching=FAIL
