ok, things I will plan to do with the goal of getting me uphill at least once:
1) Buy a $25 for season Winter Park Uphill Armband at the start of next season.
2) Rent once from Bentgate or borrow a pair from Nick, and use that to schlep myself up from the Winter Park base to however high I get by, say, 11 AM, and then meet my wife for lunch at Snoasis like usual and ski with her the rest of the day. Bentgate men's AT rental options as of now:

3) If the experience was just awful then that's that, and I go back to fantasizing about something else. If it didn't suck then signing up for the Evo Premium Season Pass might be in order: $700 fee for the season gets one unlimited rentals of both demo level alpine skis and backcountry ski setups.Atomic Backland 95

hmm. Maybe they have more and it's rented? That's not a lot. Maybe that doesn't make sense after all. Alpine gear they have for rent, in more or less the semi-random order their website serves up, since alpine rentals would be part of the deal, too (alpine only exists but no backcountry only rental subscription exists):Black Crows Camox Freebird
