abe Posted April 3, 2021 Report Posted April 3, 2021 Indy pass pricing and additions drop April 27. They are hinting towards adding more mountains "in all regions" and slight price increase, but will "pack more value than expected" I hope the day trip offerings for PA increase. Indy would be a great alternative to Epic if that is the case. Ikon potentially coming to Camelback makes things even more interesting. 2 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted April 13, 2021 Report Posted April 13, 2021 I’m going with Ikon base pass again for next season. I don’t care about black out dates- I won’t ski holidays or weekends anyway, except occasionally at Blue. Price is great, and I like the choice of resorts. 3 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted April 22, 2021 Report Posted April 22, 2021 Anyone ever ski Idaho? I see Schweitzer added to Ikon pass. 👍👍 4 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted April 22, 2021 Report Posted April 22, 2021 I don’t know where you’d fly into Schweitzer. Maybe Kalispell MT or Spokane WA. It’s super low elevation. I’m guessing it’s more pacific NW snow vs cold smoke cowboy powder. Quote
abe Posted April 27, 2021 Report Posted April 27, 2021 Indy adds Powder Mountain Utah, West Mountain NY, and Mt. Ashland Oregon. 40% price increase to $279. Blackouts added on Cannon and Saddleback weekends in January and March, Magic on MLK and Presidents Sat/Sun (but not Mon), and Waterville Christmas/New Years/MLK/Presidents. More mountains could be added before the season starts. Not quite as exciting for us here in PA as I had hoped. 1 Quote
abe Posted April 27, 2021 Report Posted April 27, 2021 If the WNEP ski card becomes a thing again this year that could be an assortment of mountains for around here that could be more easily visited than the current Indy Pass lineup Quote

abe Posted April 27, 2021 Report Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) It seems like a pretty cool place. Big but uncrowded and rustic and lots of sidecountry Edited April 27, 2021 by abe 2 Quote

mgguy Posted April 28, 2021 Report Posted April 28, 2021 Mark Schroetel (spelling?) that was the manager at BC when they removed the Doe Mt lodge and built the new stuff 20 years ago went out west to Powder Mountain as GM. Ran a nice mountain at BC, should be nice if he is still at Powder Mountain as far as management. FWIIW. 1 Quote

I remember Heather @ Big Boulder used to post as well Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 24, 2022 Author Report Posted February 24, 2022 Almost that exciting time of year when those of us who don't live in the Allentown area get to compare ski pass products and make our selections for 2022/23 Blue kicked things off by taking a baby step into the multi-mountain arena with a 25% discount at Camelback, while charging $649 for what is still basically a single mountain pass. They can do that - and could even raise it more if they wished - cause the local crowd has no comparable option anywhere near as close. Hopefully this price increase will cut down on the lift lines that have been Blue's one real weak spot, as they do have a better combo of lifts, terrain, snowmaking and vertical than anywhere else south of New York. Still that's more than I have paid the past 3 years for a 40+ Mtn Epic Local pass. 1 2 1 Quote

Kyle Posted February 24, 2022 Report Posted February 24, 2022 I find it fascinating that you can call blues lift lines a weak spot while praising epic in the same god damn post. Amazing. 3 2 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 24, 2022 Report Posted February 24, 2022 Blue limits season pass and daily ticket sales. Aside from a few days this season, liftlines have been manageable. 1 Quote

Amazing. Lift lines will definitely be a factor when I evaluate Epic's offering - and if they raise prices I will similarly be hopeful that this will help make lines more managable. Quote

I think it would be a positive thing if they raise prices somewhat to reduce crowding. Bringing back capacity limits and the need for reservations could work too.
