25-26 Season Passes

[jaytrem]

I'm pretty much captive audience, so I'm back on Epic Local. Also planning on Kirkwood/Heavenly/Northstar and some Indys for spring break next year. I didn't get nearly as many Mount Snow days this year compared to normal. I don't ever recall a year when so many weekends were shut down by either wind or ice. I'm sure I'll still get my moneys worth, got about 10 more days coming in Colorado.

Also went with Indy again. Planning to do a Vancouver Island/Southern BC Indy trip (assuming we're still allowed in Canada next year). Already have my return ticket booked from Seattle. Might also do a Quebec trip, hopefully Indy picks up a couple more areas up there. If I go with that trip I'll grab a Quebec Ski Passe-Partout, good for 30% off each day. I think it only works at one ski area per day. Looks like they might sell to Americans now, in the past you had to use a Quebec/Ontario/New Brunswick address.

Yep, Our running joke this winter was "somebody turned on the fan" Didn't want to be anywhere near the mountains a couple of days.

Its pretty interesting how many people are pairing an Indy pass with another pass be it ikon, Epic etc. I keep saying my break point would be about $600 and I would probably bail on Indy but they just keep getting better as the price stays low.

Indy pass is such a sweet deal

Fuck yes! Long time intentions to get up here just got way more realistical

 

[LoafSkier19]

Great news! Seemed like a no brainer to try to get them on the pass. Especially after joining Mtn Collective.

 

[2planks2coasts]

That's a nice add for Ikon. Better mountain than Tremblant IMHO

BW not popular on this forum I know but I see the midweek pass for next season comes with a complimentary two night stay at the Mt Washington Hotel. I called to confirm that’s a new perk offered this year. Nice benefit if that’s your thing.

Since Omni bought them they have largely flown under the radar for most folks. I took my daughter for a visit to the MWH in 2022. I was pretty impressed with what they had done with the new summit lodge and gondola. The base lodge was pretty tired. I enjoyed my last ski visit in 2011.

Anyone going all in on the Boyne Passport for $2600??

 

[LoafSkier19]

I don’t understand the rationale here. I can’t imagine many of those will be sold. Just doesn’t make sense with all the cheaper options available with their resorts already on them

Wealthy NE Pass folks looking to take a trip or two to Big Sky as well. I agree. Very small market for this pass.

I do like how Boyne isn't joining the race to the bottom game.

As you said, if anyone is going to do one or two western trips then this makes sense. Especially with the cost of Big Sky. I am honestly surprised that they did not do this sooner than they did. POWDR should do one but with all things POWDR I would imagine that they would screw it up.....

 

[jimmywilson69]

Powder had a very good portfolio at one time to do this, but as you mentioned...

A full big sky pass is $2400. $200 is not a significant premium for families that own second homes at big sky if business/family happen to take you to SEA/SLC or Vancouver. Passport also includes tram access, NEP/IKON do not.

Hmm, friends had told me the NEP Gold 3 days included the tram at BS and this to use those days for tram and not iKon days.

The other interesting tidbit to the Passport is that you can add an iKon Base for $399 but you can opt to add a Full Ikon for $799. That makes this the first pass product I know from non-Alterra resort to offer the option to add a full Ikon at a discount to that product.

 

[machski]

Actually, just looked and it appears with a Killington Beast365 pass you can now for next year upgrade to a full Ikon pass (Beast comes with a base iKon as is) for $599! K may have the ultimate iKon deal now for skiers/riders based there.

appears my info was OBS and you may be correct, BS added tram access to single day tickets last summer
