The ALTERRA SUCKS Thread

[BenedictGomez]

Feels like IKON has been way better than EPIC in terms of adding realistic incremental value to the pass, and by that I mean places most folks might actually ski, as opposed to some rando place in Switzerland or Japan.

I doubt that A-Basin locals are going to be happy about this development. It seemed inevitable.

2026-27 Ikon Pass: Snowmass Rejoins Base; A-Basin Unlimited on Base; Lutsen, Granite Peak, Snowriver Join as Full Partners; Tamarack, Devil’s Head Join as 2-Dayers

So no different really than when they were on epic

Well, maybe a bit different. Does iKon have the same pass holder gravitation on I-70 that Epic does? Thinking Epic is still the bigger draw there but could be wrong.

i think theres also a theoretical daily maximum limit enforced thru limited parking + reservations on peakest days

Are they keeping reservations?

 

[jimmywilson69]

I'd have to think that the parking reservations are here to stay on weekends. They were doing that when they were limited so doubtful that changes.

hmm, snowmass on base, love that mtn, might have to get there next year if i can figure out reasonable lodging.

Arapahoe has limited parking. There is no way CDOT will ever let people park on US 6

I will still purchase a full ikon pass supplemented with an Indy. Been a great year east and west with this combo.

You were able to get someone on the phone to blow you off? That's already better service than Vail.

I just saw that Alterra actually put the credits in our account. Free $$

It should show up here right?

Thats the spot. I spent $27 of my credits yesterday on a beer and a G&T yesterday. Gave the bartender my phone and they scanned the barcode, simple. Love free drinks!

For next season has anyone figured out how to game the $25 monthly credit if you go that route to get the most out of it? At Stratton, for example, where can it be used and can I buy alcohol with it? Can I buy $25 gift cards in the summer months

Seems like an easy hurdle to beat the $50 off option but $100 at Backcountry.com is also tempting.
