Indy Ski Pass

[jaytrem]

Was hoping for Hood Meadows, very nice! Super fun mountain! Last time I was there was a Saturday, long lines of traffic to get in, but once there, the lift lines were very short. Makes a Portland to Shasta trip much more appealing. Was thinking a Colorado Gems (mostly) trip in Jan, but may reconsider. Kids can get a CO passport both this year and next. Only problem is whenever I book Oregon, it seems to be a low/no snow year. Twice I ended up driving to Idaho, many Oregon places weren't even open.

Wow. Yep. You scooped em. It's a big one too. Fish had said the Mt. Hood resorts were unlikely, but it's happened. Great addition. I'll avoid wider social media sharing until it's official.

Yea...I wasn't too worried about a handful of people on this forum seeing it lol.

Listening to Maine Public Radio this morning and Big Rock just received approval for a $2.5M Grant from the US Department of Economic Development. Money slated to upgrade their chair and quadruple snowmaking capacity.

I guess that's one benefit being in an economically depressed area; you become eligible for such funding.

I bet a place like Whaleback or Tenney would kill for a $2.5M grant.

That's crazy money. For reference, a new detachable quad is roughly $6-10m...

Good for them. Should be plenty of cash to do a nice rebuild of the place.

Good for them. We need community hills, and I'm sure they've got plans to stretch that payday to cover as much as possible.

Wonder if most of that is going to snowmaking as the new chair has been on order for several months now. I believe they fundraised for the chair and hit their goal. Either way, good for them.

Any guesses for the 2 new West Coast areas that will be announced tomorrow? I'll go with Bear Valley (they were always on the Descente Passport), and Mt. Baldy. Would really like Willamette, Warner or Hood Ski Bowl for my potential OR trip.

Homewood would be cool.

Guess I went the a year too early. Not surprised since their other 2 areas are on the pass. Still hoping for Snowy Range, Sleeping Giant or Mt. Hood Skibowl!

I had been toying with the idea of an epic pass to ski Roundtop. Decided on Indy again due to pass protection option, new XC additions, and being excited to ski Blue Knob and Jay Peak again. Hopefully I don't have to take up the pass protection coverage due to work...

Once again slightly annoyed with the old added fees special. Unmatched quality and quantity portfolio of ski areas here in the east and midwest though.

 

[2planks2coasts]

11 new resorts coming tuesday the 11th. Full, allied and XC. No clue how many of each.

 

[Zand]

List not revealed yet, but eastern Canada looks to be the location.

Calabogie peaks is all that has been revealed so far

Calabogie, Loch Lomond, Arctic Valley, and Ski Crescent. Not bad.
