This year is different because they are in a pandemic and near population centers but next year is a whole new ball game and my gut says demand falls but who knows. Think of all the brand new skiers and riders who got into it or the people who came out of hibernation after years away from the slopes who are back into it. Maybe some new ski resorts will be built due to the renewed popularity of the sport. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Were you asking those questions when they charged $600 previously?Sure. Difference however is if people are now being asked to pay the 40% increase for next season, or opting for blue knowing that there are other options for a lower price, they're going to want to see tangible reasons to justify their decision.

Kyle Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 3 loads of rocks were just dropped off in the lower lot by 3 dump trucks. Looks like they’re at least going to attempt to fill some of the canyons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSUFrankenstein Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 the pass increase sucks, but everything else seems to increase every year (insurance, tolls, etc.) so whatever. I'm actually surprised Montage didn't increase season pass prices too...with all the concerts they missed out on this past year, I'm sure they're hurting for revenue. If everyone decided to move to Montage, I'd be on board with that, but otherwise, I'm good with Blue. Camelback is even further from me and from what I've seen, more of a shitshow as far as crowds.

I usually get a small (and I mean miniscule) "cost of living increase" and then insurance goes up anyway. Last year, the insurance increase was double the amount of the pay increase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schif Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Just my two one hundredths of a dollar here but I think the current pricing is a reaction to what they are perceiving now and not any kind of forward thinking or projections. Obviously they have the data and we don't but my best guess is that these perceived crowds will go way down next year when they are loading lifts at capacity and people can be inside longer if they keep selling "reduced numbers" of tickets. Increase all you want, that's fine but do it slowly. 40% increase year over year for any product is jarring and I know @skiincy with her marketing expertise can weigh in on just how unprecedented that kind of move is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I actually haven’t thought about the fact that people can’t go inside to eat or warm up for a bit is adding the lift lines.

saltyant Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'm convinced Blue Mountain raised the price by 170 as a sick joke since they must read this site all the time. Hell, 170 even made an appearance on a season party cake 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been inside other than to use the bathroom a few times, but based on their "limited" ticket sales I can't imagine much limiting going on inside.
