Benm Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 all of the different types of passes confuse me, but correct me if i'm wrong -- a season pass to jack frost / bb would be $479 with the add'l perks of unlimited visits to 14 add'l mountains, 4 with blackout dates and 10 days at stowe. is that right? 2 Quote
AtomicSkier Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 wow this is grate news. unsure which pass i'll get next year ... the Northeast one is nice, but it almost seems like a waste to spend $480 when for $780 you have the option to ski any resort. at this point, i enjoy the flexibility of having both ikon and epic, which basically allows you to ski anywhere in the west.

Appears to be yep. It's a pretty good deal IMO. As is the local, as are all of them actually. Quote
toast21602 Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Excited to get Epic next year. Disappointed that Blue didn't make the cut. It looks like Camelback is on with lift access to the Sullivan only. 1 1 Quote

Schif Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Epic seems great but their offerings in Utah are kind of lacking 1 Quote
JFskiDan Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 FYI - the epic local and northeast pass include Stowe, for those thinking of going in on the group home in VT next year. 2 Quote

toast21602 Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 It would be Epic if there were a bunch of Epic pass holders here. 1 1 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 I'm sure there will be. I'm tempted but in the no category at the moment. This could change. Quote
toast21602 Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 For those looking at college Epic passes, FYI: Quote
skiincy Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Epic pass is $583. Epic college is $527. If you click the college pass, it doesn't seem to be any college verification. Seems like a glitch... Check it out if you want to save some dollars. (For Ikon, they use the Sheer ID verification system or you have to upload a transcript that goes through a manual approval) [edited: oops, just saw @toast21602's post ] Edited March 24, 2021 by skiincy Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Epic Local for us. At that rate it is worth sticking with them and keeping some PA options No way it is worth it to save a little $ on getting Epic NE, as I would spend way more than the difference skiing the blacked out holiday days, let alone losing coverage for a CO trip.

I’m just gonna buy lift tickets as I go next season. I have no idea where I’m even gonna ski aside from blue and Jackson hole. If I spend a couple hundred more on lift tickets so be it. 2 Quote

Losing coverage for a CO trip??? Now you’ll get to ski camelback that’s a great place for New Jersey people. Edited March 24, 2021 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

Travel is difficult and snow can be iffy due to the low elevation...a YouTube channel I watch onecutmedia takes place in whistler and this season has been incredible for the locals as foreign tourists haven’t been allowed there so basically every powder day has been a sleeper. 1 Quote
Barb Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 I will probably do the full epic again just for Telluride and CB. I have decided I don’t like Keystone. Hopefully life will be back to normal next season and I can do the women’s clinic at Telluride again. 2 Quote

He was gonna gonto breckenridge a few years ago with his ex girlfriend. Skiing out west with newbies is always memorable. My brother & sister came out to Vail back in 2009. My brother lost his ski in tree well and my sister was rescued by a sexy Chilean man when she couldn't breathe due to the lack of oxygen. It's one of our favorite family memories. Quote
