2021-22 Season Passes

[thetrailboss]

iirc Killington tried offering a line-cutting pass and it only lasted a month or so before the backlash became too great and they nix'd it mid-season.

That’s POWDR for you.

That’s POWDR for you.

I mean...they DID resolve the issue...same with re-implementing May skiing at K, putting the South Ridge chair back, rolling back the scale/scope of the parking reservations (now only required on Saturday's).

Honestly I hear mostly positive reviews about Powdr. Yeah there's flaws but they're a pretty damn reliable company. They totally 180'd at K the past decade and the mountain has new life. Never heard anything bad about Copper, tons of investment there. Doesn't Snowbird have like 5 new lifts in 15ish years? Eldora is expanding or recently expanded iirc.

Show me on the puppet where mr powdr touched you.

Storm Skiing Podcast seemed to indicate Vail may be shifting Epic passes to a subscription model like Killington's Beast365 pass (BTW, they added a Pico subscription pass that is cheaper, gives 4 any days at Killington and ALL of Killington's summer access but no Ikon Base for I think $80/month). We should know soon on Epics but if they are altering the model, that is probably why they are delayed this year.

I really only think the subscription model works if you have good summer activities and live close enough to use them.

Agreed. I'm inclined to say it is a rather low percentage of skiers that also would take advantage of summer activities at the mountains on their ski pass.

I am not going to pay to go to a ski area to do anything in the summer when I can hike, bike, blade, and paddle right near my house for free

If Montage did a pass that was good for admission to their summer concert series I'd bite - once there are concerts again

beware camp bisco

my favorite band hosts and plays 6 sets, but the rest of the line up and the crowd are AWFUL

peachfest, on the other hand, very chill all around, great hamband scene, allmans and dead derivatives all day. occasional troy anastasio appearances.

Yo if Montage by some miracle got on Indy Pass, Montage+Indy would be a killer eastern PA/NJ offering

Epic Pass 2021-2022: All pass prices reduced by 20%

https://www.epicpass.com/pass-results/passes.aspx

Full Epic= $783
Epic Local- $583

Full Ikon- $999
Ikon Base- $729


Vail Resorts are going to be absolutely insane next year with this kind of pricing. All the local prices are reduced 20% as well. $200 difference is gonna sway a lot of causal skiers from Ikon to Epic.

More fights at Carinthia!

 

[Ski2LiveLive2Ski]

Same prices as what they offered for 20-21 in light of minimum 20% credit offered to all who were renewing. From my perspective the only meaningful difference is they are capping Stowe days at 10 on local pass. Are they keeping reservation system?

 

[jimmywilson69]

they've said numerous times no reservations

 

[Ski2LiveLive2Ski]

Thanks - that will make it easier to go where the snow and weather is best which is a key feature of multi mt passes.

they've said numerous times no reservations

Ikon counters by raising pass prices by 20% to make skiing suck less?

 

[LonghornSkier]

As others have pointed out (and as someone who works in consumer products), it's all about the "average retail price." Given the discounts that Vail gave out last season, I would guess that Vail is actually moving their ARP upward, ever so slightly.

Definitely true for renewers

You're seeing Stowe is capped at 10 days on Epic Local?
