thetrailboss · Aug 24, 2015

OK, back on topic. Burke just released their day prices...they seem lower than in the past:

$64 for adults
$47 juniors

Vermonter (non-holiday):

$52 adult
$40 junior

New website and the Q is still everywhere :roll:

IIRC, Burke was $64 last year.

It's official: walking up to the ticket booth at Stowe will cost you $110 for one day.

That's quite a hike considering it was $103 last year if you already had their RFID card. Looks like they won't be charging extra for the RFID card this year & no discount if you already have one. On line tickets went up $3 from $89 to $92.

edit: oops they'll still be charging $5 for their RFID card so the walkup will be $115 if you don't have one.

Ok that is ridiculous and a big jump. How can this be sustained year to year?

Stowe is not $122

See here

$110 + $5 RFID cost

What's more ridiculous than $110 pass price at the window is $92 online.

I was joking when I said $122. But damn, what's the difference in $7 if you're already paying $115.

Only good thing about the high price, is it keeps the masses away for Stowe!!!!!

Those lines at Smuggs just got longer!

Ugh.... hopefully it can be offset by the decline in value of the CAD.

Or they have a record year along with record complaints about the lifts and finally upgrade Sterling to a HSQ next summer. Unlikely, but you never know.

Like other places, they reward you for buying online ahead of time and committing. Only those who spontaneously show up or don't plan ahead pay this higher price. Stowe figures those folks won't care enough about the $18 difference or even know about it. Plus, most people who ski at Stowe, like other destination resorts, are not buying their tickets daily at the window as it is. They are getting them as part of a package or buying them ahead of time. I imagine window sales are not as numerous as they once were.

Looks like Stowe is taking a play right out of Vail Resorts playbook. Hopefully prices don't increase 65% over a 10 year period with other nearby resorts following their lead as well.

Absolutely correct on that - furthermore, when and if you do buy a ticket at the window, they specifically tell you to keep the card, go online to buy any further tickets, or just signup for bypass. They are trying hard to get rid of selling tickets at the windows. From experience, I never see more than a couple of people in the morning at the Mansfield ticket windows outside. A couple more inside, but most of them are setting up rentals or lessons. Nothing like my local place that has tremendous lines every weekend, even though you can go online and get them cheaper.

Stowe has always been at the forefront (for lack of a better word) of ticket prices in the East (and the country for that matter). Actually, they've been at it a lot longer than Vail!.

That's true for almost anywhere. Saddens me as a former lift ticket seller.

The upshot is, lift ticket lines are almost a thing of the past.

The only places I've stood in substantial lift ticket lines in the last 5 years are the places that either dont offer significant online discounts (Jay Peak is an example) or they dont have the infrastructure in place.

Except for the cheap season pass part. That's key to Vail's strategy.

You can buy an online ticket while sitting in the base lodge in the morning booting up. No need to buy ahead of time.

The Act 250 permit is for a HS6.
