I liked the year after Irene Sunday River explicitly opened at 9:01am to let Killington open at 9am to be the first to open.

On paper only. Lifts loaded not much past 8 IIRC. But that was a nice gesture.

everyone in town is reading the book

Powder Burn by Daniel Glick

Arson, money and mystery on Vail Mountain.

Had to order it, based on what I am hearing. Hope it comes today. Crazy.....

Did my family's Peak to Epic Local upgrade yesterday. Easy experience. Spent more time waiting on hold than the actual process took for the 4 of our passes to be changed.

Should be arriving in the mail in about a week apparently, as not until next year will any of the acquired Peak resorts apparently be able to print Epic pass products onsite

How much was the upgrade for adults?

Good to know. I will likely call on Friday to upgrade my peak Pass to Epic Local.

It was easy to upgrade, just waited about 55 mins on hold....Skiing at Park City for a week for 40 bucks, I'll take it!

Looks like you could also check out snowbasin for a day or two assuming you will have a car.

Snowbasin is definitely worth a day, and the drive from Park City is beautiful (assuming you take the route along the back rather than the front).

Almost all the resorts in Utah are an easy drive. My wife has decided she likes Park City so we base out of there now and can drive anywhere else we want. Me..I prefer to stay at Snowbird but she equates it to a prison.

I wouldn't go that far, but it is quite limiting & institutional looking.

My experience there last year was very off-putting though, I dont know that I've ever had a similar tourism experience in my life where the employees were so universally miserable, and so universally bad-mouthing their employer in a 100% voluntary fashion (i.e. I never asked). And stuff closed willy-nilly rather than at their published time, it was just a bad experience. Honestly, the only way I'd stay there again is if I had confidence in a given storm modeling & wanted to be on-site ahead of it.

We got the Epic Veteran and the Epic Veteran Dependents - sons season pass was $309 as a 17 year old. It is limited toVail owned resorts which is fine by us.

For the Peaks people, how long did it take for Peaks to refund the cost of the Peak Pass?

I was told it would be in the neighborhood of 7 to 10 business days. I'll see if that happens by the end of this week, which would be that time frame

ski&soccermom · Oct 22, 2019

I upgraded on 10/16 and do not have a refund yet...

jimmywilson69 · Oct 22, 2019

Its kind of annoying they are doing it this way. I'm certain this has something to do with back end accounting.
