Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 3, 2021 Report Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) ORDA posted their price for Belleayre / Gore / Whiteface today $809 is the adult early purchase price for a full pass to all three with no black out dates. Allows skiing starting 3/17. Other pricing available here: https://www.belleayre.com/tickets/season-passes/ Seriously considering this option. The other passes that will be interesting for me to compare pricing on are Epic, Ikon and Indy Edited March 3, 2021 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 2 Quote
toast21602 Posted March 3, 2021 Report Posted March 3, 2021 Following this thread. Looking to buy another pass next year in addition to Blue if it makes sense. 3 1 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Basically to work for me a pass has to have either a Catskills or a "top tier PA (Blue/CB/Elk/Montage)" option in addition to some larger mountains. Seems unlikely any of them will have such a PA option. ORDA has Belleayre Epic has Hunter (and JF and Roundtop are plusses) Ikon has Windham Indy doesn't quite cut it unless they get Plattekill to join again, but their saving graces are including Catamount, Greek Peak, Blue Knob and Shawnee; and that their pricing will likely be low enough that one could combine Indy and Montage for less than the other options.

For what paid on lift tickets this year I'd almost certainly be better off getting a pass. I'm generally happy skiing anywhere outside of PA so dont care if I'm limited to certain mountains like on the Epic pass 2 Quote

Schif Posted March 3, 2021 Report Posted March 3, 2021 I'll likely do Ikon or Epic depends on a combination of factors. 1. Student Discount Price 2. Where other people get passes for 3. Which mountains are on dropped or added to Ikon/Epic. 1 Quote

Big yes on the student discount price and limitations since this is probably the last year I'll get to utilize that. Quote

Can't see much of anything new being added/ dropped from Epic within early bird pricing window - as their model involves ownership of their mountains and if purchases/sales of mts were in the offing there would already be news stories about that.

You probably say the same when riding bikes with me since I can't keep up 😂 1 1 Quote
Schif Posted March 3, 2021 Report Posted March 3, 2021 Do Epic and/or Ikon typically go on sale soon? Would be cool to snag one and get a trip in at the end of this year. Or if anyone wants to rent their pass to me for a weekend that would be cool too Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 4, 2021 Author Report Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Ikon Base pass is not even worth considering for me - even disregarding holiday black outs as definitely would use all 7 days at Windham with it being by far the closest option. Leaning towards full Ikon over ORDA pass though - especially due to it covering a CO trip too. Edited March 4, 2021 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 1 Quote
