USAToday says that a Utah ski area is offering a limited number of 30-year ski passes to people who buy condos.

From USAToday:

The Canyons resort is honoring an agreement with developers of a condominium hotel to offer each property owner a chance to buy two of the transferrable passes for $5,000 apiece.
…
The Canyon’s general manager, Mike Goar, says the move will accelerate real estate sales at Escala Lodges, at the base of the mountain.

Prices at Escala Lodges start at $675,000 and range to nearly $2.6 million for a four-bedroom unit.

Here is our analysis of the deal, provided by a guy from the Bronx and a chick from Illinois. The flat part.

Marc: Is that a good deal?

Marc: I’m afraid I know almost nothing about the skiing economy

Meg: Beats me

Meg: Seems crazy

Meg: Will I be able to ski in 30 years?

Marc: It’s transferrable.

Meg: but I hate everyone I know.

Will you buy a condo for this? Good investment?
