@nay I side with your line of thinking but you need to do yourself a favor and just stop.
Trust me, you might as well push shit uphill, man. No matter how well an argument you present, even getting a concession that there is even a possibility you could be right from most of the Ikon / megapass fanboys isn't going to happen.
And even if you are right, nobody is going to later say a year from now, damn you were right about the relative crowding. They'll be too busy slapping each other on the back about their stats of skiing xxx number of different ski resorts on their megapass equaling $1.50/day. And don't even think about saying but yeah, the experience is degraded with more crowding.
Trust me, shoveling shit uphill is more rewarding than continuing to provide any counterpoints. Do yourself a favor and just stop.
That's a bunch of bullshit, frankly.
