Details aren't out yet about price, amount of visits per resort, etc. Depending on where you normally ski, or do multiple trips out west this could be a no brainer. Like Jeff going to Jackson and Aspen. Just something to keep in mind and keep an eye on once details are released. Edited January 25, 2018 by toast21602 2 Quote

Barb Posted January 25, 2018 Report Posted January 25, 2018 Interested to find out details on this as I hear they are not doing the Rocky Mountain Super Pass next year. I have bought that pass the last 5 years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Shadows Posted January 25, 2018 Report Posted January 25, 2018 How do sales people even go about getting these deals? Or why arent more locations doin it. Seems like free money. People arent gonna go to all those mountain. Quote
Shadows Posted January 25, 2018 Report Posted January 25, 2018 Oh season pass not one day at each. I need a nap Quote

Barb Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Telluride just got EPIC. Wow, shit ‘s getting real. In the press release they said they are glad to be adding this “iconic” resort. Hehe. Can’t wait for details to emerge on the Ikon Pass. Crested Butte not on either as of now.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 We were discussing last night how awesome it would be if somewhere like Vail bought blue mountain. For a little bit more money maybe $800 total could have a pass that included many other resorts in the east and the west. Only downside would probably be pay parking. Quote

That would definitely make things interesting. I don't think that would happen, though. Even though Blue is pretty big, it is still pretty back-woods the way it is staffed and managed. Plus, it has been in the family for a bit and Barb wants to make it even more successful. I think that if times would start to get tough, she would consider selling. Or make it great and make a nice chunk of change from the sale. Quote

It's not backwoods in terms of infrastructure and location and annual skier visits. Does Barb have kids who could take over Blue one day?? Quote
Barb Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 In the Crested Butte newspaper this morning there was an article about them being dropped from a multi mountain pass. The spokesperson was being very tight lipped and said they were exploring options. I hope they pull something off. The article went on to say that front range skier visits were up the last few years they were on the RMSP. If they are a stand alone resort, unless you live close by it is hard to justify a pass there. With all the choices on the multi mountain passes it is hard to justify a single mountain pass anywhere really. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 I wonder what the Ikon pass will cost?? Any questions. Jackson hole season pass early bird price is about $1600 same with Aspen. Seems counterproductive for the expensive top tier resorts. Quote
Barb Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 I am sure there will be multiple levels as with the current Epic Pass. Probably a locals level that does not include Aspen and JH, only Copper, WP and Eldora. Quote
Shadows Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 Id quit skiing if vail bought blue. Thats the dumbest thing ive heard all week 1 Quote

Yeah and the first thing they would do is get rid of the VIP line. Just awesome 1 Quote
