Sorry...zero chance they're worse than Vail or even the same. At least their pass prices are just high enough to avoid the same level of crowding that Epic sees. If this was Vail, they wouldn't even know they owned Sugarbush.
Again, IKON crowding is a real thing out west. Not just in Utah, but Palisdes and a lot of resorts in CO.

Alterra is like Blackrock, behind the scenes messing things up but theres not a face to hate because they stay in the shadows.
Vail is like Trump with Rob Katz happily explaining how hes helping you by screwing you over
There is a big difference.
Alterra only can eff with the 18 resorts Alterra owns out of roughly 77 resorts on the Ikon pass.
Vail can eff with all 69 of their resorts.

Just because they dont outright own them doesn’t mean they can’t pull their partner resorts arms to force decisions if they feel inclined.
