22/23 Passes

Check United. I saw direct flights with them.

If United does, they aren't flying any this coming week.

i actually got a 2 year flashback reminder on facebook about my trip to silverton this morning.

seriously incredible place. highly recommended to anyone with the chops and the lungs. its a wasted trip if you arent ready to hike and ski serious terrain.

here's my post from 2 years ago after the trip. lots of pics. we only had middling snow but it was still an amazing trip. one of my favorites ever.

seriously, go to silverton

was going to post this in trip reports but decided that this board doesnt get the traffic to warrant sub-boards... general thoughts - if you like steep skiing and mandatory hiking in the most no frills atmosphere possible, go to silverton. its really an amazing and unique place. i was a bit...

Ah, OK. I was looking at flights in June and July.

Looks like Denver is winter seasonal from Burlington. Usually those go from December to March based on the flights from Boston to Steamboat, Bozeman, Jackson, etc.

Then why are there June and July flights???

Silverton is a really cool town. Hopefully when you go the roads are not bad. Colorado's "Million Dollar Highway" from Ouray to Silverton is a beast.

Keep Your Hands on the Wheel and Don’t Look Down

The most perilous road in America gets 300 inches of snow a year, features 70 named avalanche paths, and has almost no guardrails. Who would be bold enough to keep Colorado’s infamous Highway 550 clear in winter? Leath Tonino hopped into the cab of a Mack snowplow truck to find out.

this is a great read. that road scared the balls off of me. i drove to silverton in daylight, met my friends there, so was solo. i left silverton to catch an early morning flight out of montrose in snow and darkness. terrifying drive.

I missed out on that drive. Road was closed so we had to drive all zee way around.

Betting United is serving that route for summer travel to Vermont. I do not think they fly it in the winter.

sorry, i'm too lazy to look - i just did a cursory search but didn't dig deep - do i have any deadlines i need to be aware of for price increases or expiration of renewal benefits, for ikon and indy? i think indy raises may 17. i don't think ikon raises and i also don't think my renewal expires. but curious to confirm as end of march approaches


edit - nevermind, just got an email from indy. april 1. buying now.

edit2 - April 1 deadline seems to be for the payment plan. not the overall price or the renewal discount.

Isn’t 4/1 the cutoff for the spring Indy pass.

 

[KustyTheKlown]

not sure about spring pass. inapplicable to me. but today's email has this:

 

[chuckstah]

$50 off Spring Indy, so $139 I think. April first is the cutoff

 

[Dickc]

Well, could not resist. I just bought an Indy Add on pass 22/23 to go with my Pats Peak pass. Its a steal at $189.00 for an adult. Just sent them a PDF of my 22-23 Pats pass for verification, and now I can go to a bunch of other places this winter for DIRT CHEAP.

Edit to add that Indy has replied to my email, and I'm good to go for the pass. That was FAST!!! Kudos to Indy for promptness!

 

[Teleskier]

It is very tempting! Don't forget the extra $20-off coming over from EPIC/IKON as well.

 

[Zermatt]

FYI. Renewal discounts for Ikon end 4/22. This is much earlier than the last two seasons. Don't miss out.

Yes, good question, are the Indy reductions addictive. Can you can the reduction for the “ Prior Epic and Ikon pass holders” as well as “add on pass pricing”. I suspect not.

No, Epic/Ikon/MC discount only comes off an Indy or Indy+ pass purchase. Doesn't work for the add ons where available.

I wish Ikon had a weekdays only option that was cheaper. $700 feels heavy when everything is 2.5 plus hours away and I have to buy another pass for easy day trips.
