Just clicked the purchase button a few minutes ago.....I'm OK with this pricing.....Can't wait to see the Summit Safari lift to the top get installed..

The Camelback discount is just fluff....The only redeeming thing Camelback has going for it is they allow uphill travel...

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

Would be nice if they offered a Blue/Camel combo pass. Wouldn't actually cost them anything extra to do so as you can't ski them both at same time and there are negligible people if any buying 2 Pocono only passes. And they could even charge a little more for it I'm sure.

A combo pass would be interesting. I would keep the passes separate but offer access to the other mountain. At the end of a year you would have some useful data as to who went to the other mountain, when and how often.

I don’t want Camelfucks at Blue.   They know Blue is better and will all flock to Blue.

The Summit Safari Supreme is going to be an incredible ride. I imagine with the extra cash flow from the price increase we will get heated seats.

Just get a pass to Mountain Creek and be done with it. Too much PA talk on this message board anyway.

I rode the lift on Saturday with a guy who was trying to convince me that the best thing would be if Blue wound up on the Ikon pass.......

Hey! I used to be a Camelback skier and I flocked to Blue. If Blue gets more business that's a good thing because they be makin' that sweet Johnny Cash @GrilledSteezeSandwich

I'd get an Ikon pass if they added either Blue or Camelback

I pray it never breaks cause no one at Blue will know how to fix it....They will need the extra cash to fly in the mechanics...

The problem is that camelback passholders would be allowed to ski at Blue..

Exactly why we don’t want to be on ikon.

[Johnny Law]

The absolute last thing blue needs is more people. Anyone who is there gets this and most importantly the people that run blue know this too. 

Value at level 1 is numbers, how many resorts, how many high speed lifts, how many runs, etc etc etc Value level 2 is experience management, and adding blue to ikon or epiq is all the lower category.

Where blue is at now is trying to extract more money out of each customer not getting more people in the door. The infrastructure cannot support more people at peak times, from the roads to blue to the soda machines to the lifts, at peak they are max capacity. To make a significant change in when people skied required a global pandemic so good luck with that. 

Epiq resorts this year are all category one thinking, by the numbers having an epiq pass should be the best but it's actually probably the worst of the big three because that isn't actual value.

So why does all my horseshit I just wrote matter ? Because pass and lift ticket pricing is a primary factor in business model. When we all went the mega pass route we signed up for snowsports being run like a business and the two current models of our Corp overlords only one does the value of the pass hit that second category or more simply rewards investment in actual good skiing. Ikon is not ideal nor KSL but at least they have to keep value in skiing and snowboarding at the actual hill even if its only to sell real estate and weddings. Again it's not ideal but right now VR has zero reason to put real money into JFBB or Steven's Pass or wherever because it doesn't really effect them as directly.

There was a new lambo SUV in the lot last weekend from NY, there is money around and it's not driving past all those other places because the pass gets them time at Jimminy Peak. Look at Bears lodge for God sakes, at least 8 years ago the hotel and lodge pays for everything but the only reason you can get them to bum fuck Macungie is because of the hill.  Blue needs to focus on that end, keep the skiing quality high and always improving as they have done of late, build out the shit where you make real actual serious money and build their brand as being different from Camelback not aligned with it.

Blue seems to sell out of season passes and day tickets just fine, they don’t need a third party in there selling discounted passes w/ multi mountain options to put meat in the seats.

since skitoolive passed on the purchase, i was more than happy to take his spot as a season pass holder.  i am sure Blue is just up in arms about him not being a season passholder, but somehow they will get by.
