    Well, I guess they're going to turn the place from a sleepy, quiet and hidden gem of a mountain into an overcrowded hill filled with condos, high speed and high capacity lifts, and overpriced food and merchandise for sale. Oh, wait.....

    It means that you're going to start seeing a lot of Colorado dirtbags show up there, looking for cheap beds.

    I doubt they'll screw existing pass holders, but enjoy your last year of mountain collective participation.

    Hell yes.
    They'll start by maximizing their revenue streams. Then the corporate risk guys will look at all the on mountain practices.
    Great Canadian will get squeezed out and soft closures, will become hard.

    Vail Buys Whistler

    MC pass should remain good next season:
    Season Passes
    For the full 2016-17 winter season, Whistler Blackcomb will continue to honor the resort's existing season pass products. Vail Resorts looks forward to integrating Whistler Blackcomb into its Epic Season Pass and other season pass products for the 2017-18 winter season.

    Smart move with the Loonie down. That made the purchase premium almost nil.

    What does it mean for folks who are NOT on a Vail pass? Will everything become even more expensive? Asking because that was a destination on the family radar for Christmas 2017...
