My son has enjoyed his first season of snowboardin...

My son has enjoyed his first season of snowboarding here upon joining his school s ski club. The package rate was priced well with the school, and I was so pleased that he was also given a loyalty savings card to use throughout the rest of the season. The price for the lift ticket and rentals it s such a fantastic savings for both weekdays and weekends with this card. This gave me financial relief knowing that I could utilize these savings for my son to have the opportunity to snowboard outside of the designated ski club trips.
Although, I was so disappointed this evening, as I apparently neglected to notice the asterisk below the pricing on the savings card, which stated that it excluded Friday from 4 PM to 9:30 PM. This is literally the only time throughout the week where the savings do not apply, and it just so happened to be the exact time frame that I dropped my son off with his friend for a fun Friday night of snowboarding. However, it was definitely not fun for me to get the phone call from him stating that he needed more money, as the ticket and rental prices return to their standard rates for these 5.5 hours, while the savings rate applies to all other open hours of operation. As my son had already purchased a lift ticket, there was not an option to return home and come back another day, as I would have lost even more money due to the ticket being nonrefundable. With a lump in my throat, I payed the additional cost, as he was too excited to be there for me to create a fuss. Needless to say, I was pretty bummed knowing that I payed over twice the rate than expected this evening. If he does continue to enjoy the sport at the end of the season, I will definitely avoid this by getting him the early bird season pass next year.
