Season Pass or Not?

So, the past three years I have gotten a season pass to Pats Peak.  I love having one cause it just makes snowboarding that much easier, I can go when ever I want and for how long I desire. Snowboarding is probably one of my favorite sports and I love it. The only thing is that this winter my parents are unsure if they want to buy me a season pass or not. I think that it actually would be worth the money with the amount of times I go, which is a lot. They think the best idea economically is to just buy a pass every time I go. I mean it might be cheaper but than it's just a hassle of figuring out what time to go and plus all my other friends have season passes.

 I'm trying to convince my parents to buy me one before they get more expensive, but they are very set on the idea of not getting me one. I care a little bit but as long as I'm able to snowboard in general with my friends, thats all I care about. My passion for snowboarding is crazy and I would go everyday after school if I could, which sometimes I even do! But that was the beauty of having the pass because I could just go up for a couple hours.  Hopefully they will they turn around and desire to get me a pass, that would be a christmas miracle.
