Couldnt justify that since it's over two thousand bucks, and I'll be there 4 or 5 days. Ikon Pass looks like it would work better since I can ski at rad places like New Hampshire Expand I don’t think he meant season pass. Ikon probably be the best for me but I’m not doing any multi mountain pass. Not having an ikon pass last year actually saved me money because of the pandemic as I would have only used it for the 7 days at JH which I believe was $830 and ikon pass for 7 days each was $999 or more. 1 Quote

Expand I'll perform rigorous analysis and calculation. It's a risk being locked into the pass but if the savings is worth it I might get it. Sounds like they'll give you a free pass for next season if you dont use it this season. Also credits given for covid closures. Edited November 30, 2020 by saltyant Quote

Unlike the mountains local to us, it would hard to say by noon you have seen all there is at Alta/Bird, and want to go to the other one. Expand Correct. He doesn't like skiing multiple mountains on a trip which is why I suggested the alta bird deal. Saltman see below. They offer an Alta upgrade to your ticket. Although something to consider... I know you were thinking long and hard about the Chickadee pass. That's doesn't include the Alta upgrade. Edited November 30, 2020 by RidgeRacer 1 Quote

One day in Jackson Hole at about 11:30 am @AtomicSkierand I agreed that we had gotten our money's worth, and that $125 or whatever the price was is actually a good deal - if conditions are good and the terrain is nice. 2 1 Quote

Expand If you are referring to paying $130 to ski Snowbird, and adding the $50 Alta upgrade for the same day, yeah i dont get that either. But in some cases, the right day out west can be life altering for the better, which makes the price of a lift ticket pretty insignificant. Most people here dont pay window price either. Multi day lift tix, ski shop tix, etc.......but who knows how thats gonna work this year. Most tix for Utah can be had at a local ski shop for a decent savings, with direct access. 1 Quote

Loveland is I think $70 or so for a full day ticket and I don’t think abasin has crossed the century mark yet. Inflation is real. Quote
