| If you have your own gear....go to MK, They never check lift passes and you can get on to the slope without spending a penny! which is nice, with winter prices just starting!! |

I've been checked every single time I've been, up to and including last Friday. Wouldn't risk that to be honest, would be a waste of an hours travelling for me! |

I think it's one thing getting an extra couple of runs at the end of your paid for pass but turning up and walking on the slope without any intention of paying is pretty sh1t.
If you love free things get yourself some morals, they cost nothing  |

I go MK about once a month and honestly have always been checked. A couple of extra runs - sure, but unlikely to get away with no pass at all.
Go to whichever is closer/easier to get to and spend any saved petrol money on more time on the slope! |

| I know MK have banned people for sneaking on. Tamworth have a zero tolerance policy; no pay and you're banned for life. |

Back to your original question, give Cas a go. Its my personal favourite even though I live 30 mins closer to CFe. Also they will let you ride the Poma strapped in unlike MK who have a strict 'no way buddy boy' attitude. No a huge issue I know but there you go. Also the snow's better than MK, not so sticky.
P.S. I always pay  |

They won't let you ride the Poma strapped in??? That's insane!
Remind me never to go to there.
That's one of the reasons I never ride Chill Factore anymore.
That and the turnstiles....... and the crap snow / ice conditions......... and the lack of available changing rooms.......and the amount of queueing time at the front desk........and.....and.....and lots of other reasons! 
and is it just me that thinks the lighting at CFe is not bright enough?  |

| It's because it's easier to break the lift at MK and CFe if you fall whilst you're strapped in. It's not that much of a bother is it? |
