$100 discount for renewal too-
do you know if the discount is for anyone who had a pass before or only for those who had the 20/21 pass?
i had the 19/20 pass but didn't renew it for this season.

From the wording on their website, it sounds like just current 20/21 Ikon passholders.

I just got that email. I picked All Destinations. I totally forgot about it. I don't recall exactly how it's calculated. But I thought it was something like this...assume 43 destinations and 100 days per place so 4300 ski days. If 430 total ski days were not available that would be 10% and you'd get that in a credit.

I could easily be wrong as I have almost zero recollection of the math. But either way, even if I get $1 I'd be pretty pumped as I'm already getting $100 discount over what I paid this year for renewing.

Nope...didn't get anything. If you picked all destinations though, then you should see a small credit. Wasn't Blue in Canada closed for a while due to all Ontario ski resorts being closed?

FWIW...I specifically chose Sugarbush so wouldn't qualify for anything related to the Blue closure.

I got this even though I was not a Winter Park passholder. I was Ikon for 19/20, but did not renew....

interesting. so i guess i chose all destinations, and the email only went out to people who will actually get some sort of credit.

Looks like $50 off if you had Ikon in the past. Just got this email...

Ikon Pass is now on sale for the 21/22 season. Because you owned an Ikon Pass in past seasons, you’ve been given an exclusive offer. Save up to $50 off every Ikon Pass you purchase for the 21/22 season.

Update: did a quick test, I qualify for $50 off the full, $40 off the base, $0 off the base plus. The $0 off the base plus is a bit odd.

So much for that...NOW I just got the e-mail so I guess they're sending them to everyone but just not all at once. At the bottom of the e-mail it does list what you chose for your coverage and mine lists Sugarbush as the destination. Therefore even though I got the e-mail, I expect to receive $0 (and that's fine with me).

Katz wants to sell lot of short-term passes.

"As he has for some time, Katz focused on the company’s various pass programs as a way to bring financial stability to a largely seasonal product. Katz said shorter-term passes can move people from spur-of-the-moment trips to more planned mountain adventures."

I'm surprised Epic doesn't sell "FastPass" access like Disney and others.

you should delete that post immediately...
... thought that might get a reaction!

I'm sure they've considered what percentage of pass holders would pay a premium to ensure vacation or weekend access.

Given they sell far more limited passes than full passes, that would suggest demand for "premium" passes would be relatively low.

That said, I know someone who would buy it at an instant

I think a lot of people who ski largely weekends / holidays due to job issues would pay extra for a pass that gave access to a VIP lift line. I wouldn't blink at spending an extra $100 per pass for our 3 passes for that. If I get in 40 days a year that is $2.50/day/person to spend at least an hour less standing in line.
