So $50 for the entire weekend or for one day?

Answer:

...including a special commemorative 50th birthday medallion valid for a full weekend of skiing and riding.

Pretty nice, but if they really want to commemorate the date they should institute 1958 pricing! ;-)

 

[Marc]

I'm sure there won't be any crowds that weekend.

 

[deadheadskier]

...certainly tempting considering it's the whole weekend. Seems like POWDR is pulling out all the stops in regaining consumer confidence. good for them

Pretty much as many were saying....restructuring and cleaning house the first year and then rebuilding after that.

and also learning from their mistakes...I think they are starting to understand what they bought now.

Yes, $50 for two days of skiing on Dec. 13 and 14. The medallions are on sale now and we're only selling 1,958 of them.
Bunch of other festivities will highlight the weekend as well.

Typically that time of year only a limited amount of trails are open. What has the ticket price for those days typically been? I doubt if it has been full price.

 

[SpinmasterK]

Yes, we usually have our early-season prices for one-day tixs. I believe last year it was $56 a day.

It depends how the weather is..if snowmaking conditions are good..the new lift should be open earlier..maybe...Thanksgiving..
