Thanks. That was kind of my guess as to how it worked. Kind of sucks for people that buy a pass only to use for a late season trip since tickets are so expensive and end up getting hurt after most of...

Has anyone used the Pass Protection insurance to get their pass refunded?

Any advantage to taking the credit vs the refund ?

Anyone used the pass protection because they weren’t able to use their pass?

I about choked when I saw ski school prices at Squaw/Alpine these days. Yet the instructors still get paid shit and the tips are drying up because of the cost of the lessons. I seriously doubt I’d...

Ikon and Epic Duopoly
...

Lol obviously

Thx. I guess that kinda makes sense w OT being mostly Tahoe thread for there to be more than one. Just never occured to me and I’m rarely in the JH thread fml

There’s more than 1 group buy being organized?

Tahoe makes up a tiny percentage of placer county. Most of it is Sac adjacent commuter houses.

Def people won’t altruistically not drive if they see that as a benefit. But when people can’t get...

Then we definitely need a monorail

Seriously, fuck that. It doesn’t matter one Fuk if the mass transit is profitable. It just needs to be efficient. It would not be hard to make a dedicated bus lane like OG suggests. Traffic is...

^this. Instead they’ve killed off shuttle routes. They should be on the hook for filling busses to get cars off the road in Tahoe and fined if they don’t meet the metric. Instead TRPA and placer are...

You on social security? Because all the kids eat ass these days

I hit while visiting a friend around that timeframe and couldn’t believe I had a POW fest w no piraña like competition. Pretty sure my skis were in the 70s but it was all good. Would trade

Im a little annoyed because I forgot to update my pass pic. Oh well.

Mine came over a week or so ago in CA

Haven’t been paying attn. Did the group buy happen this year?

Edit: Found it. NM I’m lame.

Thx for the reminder OT. I had finally decided last night the I’d mull it over longer regardless of extra cost and had totally forgotten about the group rate thing.

I can’t imagine they won’t have to sweeten the pot a lot more if they want serious consideration for pass purchases considering the virus situation and economic hardships expanding rapidly.

True, but there was one year that Costco came out w a better deal on passes that was not matchable

Thanks for your effort on the buy

You morons don’t know what magnitude means.

Count me on that list. I bitched for years about Alex keeping his pass prices high and not shifting the model to lower cost passes. I eat my words everytime I see the KT line on a Pow day. Skiing...

Kudos to OT for setting that up. Saved a lot of people money.

Just got an email from sportsbasement offering pre-apr 24 prices for any Bay Area folk that missed the deadline

For 15k I want before, during AND apres included

Waffling between base and full pass. Generally we avoid holidays blacked out but school is getting harder to schedule time around them. Plus Im delusionally pondering a Southern Hemisphere trip....

I hope he still has 8 yr old pricing too!

fify

Lol YO Paulie Walnuts, Get the fuck outta here!

Agreed Goat

I just assumed that's how it was gonna be set up before I knew the details. Actually I thought all the passes would be the same price. 2k w none of the ikon benefits at jh is Mgmt fucking their...

Maybe if they set up all their daughters w Ray J and some video they'd have something

Universal truth

This could make for some much more unique ski pass photos this season

Pretty much lol

I'm Not sure the ikon could make Tahoe worse than last year. Seems like that was max numbers and some of those won't buy now that there's no bronze. At least that's my hope. Regardless, fuck Squaw

Same. Mild to fair annoyance by this. But I've been conditioned by Squaw crap not to be too surprised

Ski bums have always found a way. Student passes, work on mtn, whatever. I would trade Cushing's sky high season passes for the icon / epic cheap passes any day - even though I bitched for years...

For actual skiers, things seemed to work just fine if not better before the wars

Last day for the 150 kid passes...

This is really screwing w my head ! Baka Gaijin!!!

The other thing w the low pass prices is that it takes away incentive for skibums to work at the mtn and has impacted staffing. Getting s free pass was a nice tradeoff to give up some ski days to...

The 2nd home aspect is huge and much bigger than short term rentals. My neighborhood has gone from 70-80% full timers to 20-30% over the course of 20 years or so. Lots of people decided to cash in on...

He's is definitely not or he would know that Alex priced Squaw full season around 1500. I'd gladly welcome a return to this days if it cut down on the "everyone has a pass" shit show.

I meant 11. Ya , that's it 11. [emoji12]

My kid is twelve til May. That counts right? Of course it does!
