That’s quite a deal, what are the 4 mtns in New England? Did you use to ski at Brodie? Wonder if vail reduces their northeast pass price to be more competitive with the ragged mtn pass?

Here you go, not free days at the 4 NE mountains so doubt Vail even considers this as comp.

I bet they hold off their price increase. The Ski Resort are getting crushed right now. I would like to know how many season passes they have sold this year vs. last year during the same period. I was about to do my seasonal rental at Sugarbush, I don't know if I will have the money to do it now. I differently would say over half the skiers out their are in the same boat. I bet the resorts will keep their pass discounts thru the summer. It will take at least that much time for all of us to catch up.

As a PSA I'll say it again....Pass insurance will not protect you if mountains do not open or there is no ski season.

I bought my pass for Mountain Creek, my local area, in early February when they went on sale for $229. I also bought Mount Peter passes for me and my family when they went on sale in early March. $239 for my wife and I and $209 for my daughter.

That would be pretty easy to write into the fine print of the insurance policy. Although the idea of not having lift serviced skiing next winter is pretty crazy at this point

He's absolutely right that the insurance itself wouldn't cover it. It is stated in their exclusions for Ikon's insurance company at least if my interpretation is correct:
That said, if there was legitimately no season at all, I find it rather hard to believe all the ski resorts would tell all the people that bought passes to simply fuck off unless they outright go bankrupt. I wouldn't expect them to give money back, but I would expect them to basically apply your purchase to the following season.
Of course if things are so bad that there's no ski season next year, then we have much bigger problems than a season pass purchase and whether you get your money back or not.
noun
plural noun: natural disasters
a natural event such as a flood, earthquake, or hurricane that causes great damage or loss of life.
"the number of people suffering food crises as a result of natural disasters has tripled in the last thirty years"
Does a natural disaster include genetically engineered viruses? That policy could also easily be re written

Until you have actual proof this is man-made please keep your paranoid accusations to your self.

For Epic, here's the definition of Natural Disaster that is explicitly listed in the terms of the insurance:
So no coverage for a virus in that clause at least.
Ok, but the definition of natural disaster still does not mention viruses in any form
Just for arguments sake it doesn't mention if they can't open they do not have to refund monies paid for services that cannot be rendered.

That's how I'd war-game it as well. They hold the cash & use it, and issue you the following year's pass. If you move you're S.O.L.
Alternatively, I can also see some resorts issue credit against something low margin, specifically, food & beverage, instead of letting you roll it into a season pass.
Oh course, all of this speculation is completely unnecessary, because talk of no 2020-2021 season is nuts.

I’d think they’d have to refund. The odds of no ski season next year is near zero, though.

Let's put it this way!
If there isn't a ski season next year.........that will be one of the LEAST of our problems!!!

The Governor of Illinois has just told organizers of summer festivals that they should cancel. (He said it a little more artfully, but his message was clear.)
This lockdown will not end instantly. Large gatherings are going to be prohibited for quite some time.
The ski season will depend on how bad the second and third waves are in the fall and winter. My money is on a ski season happening, but it is not a sure thing.

I could see lodge operations/large scheduled events at mountains getting effected in the short term, but they should at the very least still be able to run the lifts.
At the bitter end of the CO season, they were making people ride single on chairlifts unless they were in the same ski group. Conceivably you could see a bunch of portable toilets to solve the bathroom proximity problem. These are possible options to keep social distance.
But, really, the biggest danger is a blind shutdown by a governor who simply states that these are large gatherings, so prohibited. But I don't see this happening in 20/21, although it can't be 100% excluded.
