Benm Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFskiDan Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiincy Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing coverage for a CO trip??? Now you’ll get to ski camelback that’s a great place for New Jersey people.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
