I live in Central California, so I will be buying at least the base pass. Just a matter if it is worth the extra $300 for more Mammoth days and not have to bug friends for vouchers.

man, if you live in CA or CO, this is a pretty solid pass (especially CA).. but they blew it by not at least putting deer valley unlimited at least on the $900 pass.. no one from Utah is going to buy this. (I only mention deer valley because Alterra bought them last year, so I would have assumed it was going to be unlimited access.)

Sorta.
The way this shit works is that the resorts negotiated these pass deals. DV probably only did 7 days because their pass is $2000, same with Jackson, alta/bird is like 1600 or something. These would be huge revenue losses for those resorts so they only agreed to a certain amount of days. Plus, these resorts don't need some big combo pass, theyre doing quite well on their own, maybe in the future it will change, but they didn't fuck anything up by any measure.

This looks good! The adult passes are a little more than I spent on the epic passes but the kid's passes are only $149. Just for Squaw it's worth it I think, maybe planning some trips to Alta, Mammoth, Lake Louise, Jackson Hole...a lot of possibilities.

Blackout dates are typical: 12/26-1/1, MLK weekend, Prez day weekend. I think it's just Saturday and Sunday on each of the weekends for a total of 10 days blacked out. I'll take it, lodging is too expensive on those dates anyway.

Looks great. Can't wait to add some Squaw days to next season. Probably going to need to make a trip out to Big Sky as well.

All good, I didn't know that was a big thing in Boulder these days. Is it still big out west, down 70 west of Vail clear out to the stateline?

true but you cant deny that it sucks from the consumers perspective. locals have to pay out the nose for their season passes while their lift lines become full of icon pass holders. great for everyone who owns a business in town but not for your average ski bum living in town.

being an alterra resort employee and being able to ski all those places next year for free or for very very cheap is chill.

Any East Coast skiiers in this thread? Didnt realize this pass was taking over the MAX Pass. Pretty bummed, this really trims down the options for anyone in the North East.
Kind of understandable I suppose, MAX pass seemed too good to be true the last two years I had it.

I don't see Front Rangers making the extra slog over that pass to get up there. They will stick to Winter Park and Copper unless they decide to be Epic along I-70.
Also steamboat has one of the largest uphill capacity in the country. You guys can push like 34,000/hr. So plenty of room for more

Actually I have. I was there weekend before Presidents' Day. Line was large but moved quick and efficient. Once up, didnt wait in line more then 3-4 minutes all day. This was on a Saturday before holiday weekend. That gondola also looked to be in good shape and running well and efficient. You also have a HS6 running up next to it.
My point is steamboat averages 800k skier visits. If that goes to 900k you won't notice.

Oh, you've skied here one weekend. Well I've skied here every fucking weekend for the last 32 years, and every week day. It's getting busier already and it'll be much worse next season, with all the cheap passes getting 10 days here. 3-4 minutes, fuck that, i like skiing right on to the chair. and believe me I'll notice, the only good part is more chicks watching me from the chair.

Shit, you know it all. Best skier there. Best local. My mountain.
You sound like a real fucking douche. Go buy a cabin in the woods and get away then. People like you are the most annoying type of local. I'm guessing you like serve burgers at the cafeteria or scrub toilets and night and ski every day. And every tourist sucks yet they all allow me to have a job and ski.
I'll take my burger medium. With cheese.

Ha ha pretty funny. You're the one telling me what's going on at the place I've lived for 32 years. And you def have no idea about my situation, keep guessing. Not all tourist suck, just the hordes from Denver that clog shit up on Sat and Sun. I like the kind that fly here, stay for a week. The only thing you got right was. I'm the best skier here.

As someone in Oregon who goes to Colorado, Park City, and Whistler, the epic pass is still the go to. The lack of every resort being unlimited kills this for me. I travel a ton during the winter and negotiating blackout dates is no big deal, but running out of days is stupid. In addition, if I were a local at PC and have an epic pass, I still have unlimited there and a ton of other places, which is dope. If I'm a local at a resort on the Ikon and it isn't unlimited, then the Ikon is pointless to me.

You're not getting it are you? You're name is Ski Bum? What kind of job do you think ski bum's have? How are we supposed to run a ski resort w/o these people that you demean so casually? No one can afford to live here, there's no rooms to rent. We need more of the cafeteria workers and lift ops, the people you're shitting on. We need them to serve the tourist that apparently you love so much and there are going to be a lot more of with this new pass.
