This. As an east-coaster who spends too much limited time and money on flying out west to get my annual fix, I find Ikon pseudo-interesting. However, I thought the same about the Maxx pass a few years back. The Collective has worked well for me, thus far. (Especially the Buy in May, save some bucks, and get a 3rd day.) I wonder if Ikon will roll-out before MC drops is early purchase gig or waits to see how many folks balk at the early season treat.

I really doubt this is a half-assed, unfinished plan. The initial KSL/intrawest/mammoth deal was announced over the summer - they could have rushed to put something together for this winter but decided to wait and figure out a better long term strategy (which ended up with a much bigger and better list of partners than I would have expected). What shredgnar said makes sense. Just have to wait and see what the pass options end up like.

Seems pretty half assed and confused to me. Somehow even squaw figured out combining dual passes w alpine after the purchase w less lead time. This is not likely to be in epic format and pricing or they would have said so. Marketing bait.

We are still in January. Does anyone know what their season pass will cost for next year yet?
This is an SIA buzz type deal. As a Mammoth/California pass holder I'm very curious what the cost / details are, but my panties will remain untwisted for a while since this is for next year and the longer the wait on this the more time my credit card/bank account has.
Pretty psyched to have Squaw/Alpine on the pass though as that will easy the traveling for Mini Comish's ski races...He who has the most fun wins!

You heard it, SLC/DEN is where it is at. The PNW/BC/AB have long lift lines, bumper to bumper traffic and the snow sucks.
If you still insist on traveling narth, decent discount options exist.

It's not even close to the same level but I have a unlimited China Peak pass and get 3 Sunday-Friday non holiday tickets to each Powder Alliance resort. I always make a couple days at Sierra at Tahoe and am doing a Oregon trip this year. I will end up with 6-10 ski days for a $50 upgrade on my pass.
I am hoping I can afford to get a Ikon pass too next year to ski Mammoth and Squaw Alpine more.

Sad to see CB dropped, that was fun while it lasted. Also sad I likely won't use Bachelor this spring or Alyeska days, but those are long shots anyways. A JH/Big Sky trip next year would be nice...
But, oh the details, and the price. I loved the added areas, but I think the price for a family will direct my purchases next year.

If I was selling it, I'd set it up like this:
Ikon Local (pick one unlimited mountain (prices vary (Aspen = $$$$)) and 4 days at all the others)
Ikon Double (pick two unlimited mountains + 7 days elsewhere)
Ikon Super (unlimited at the primary mountains + 10 elsewhere)Originally Posted by blurred

Well, duh, I've been a multi pass holder for three seasons. So, you know, sort of interested.
Doesn't matter, if the deal sucks, I go to Europe.

The ikon pass. We own more resorts than anyone else and if you don’t buy our pass we will just buy your Resort.
I need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

Announce pass... get press.
Announce pass specifics and prices several weeks later... get more press.
Some of you really don't understand how this works?
There will likely be regional / state-based passes... just like Epic has the Tahoe local. Unlimited days in CA / CO / etc. and X days at all other resorts, etc.

Well, I should have been clearer. This is bad marketing. Bad marketing is all, pound my chest, look how great I am. Good marketing is, this is what I'm going to do for you. Or, from the customer angle, what's in it for me? Or stfu.
It's a niche market. Skiing market is fairly small, and the multi mountain pass buyer is much smaller. I'm that market. Retired, free time, like to travel, got a little money, have been in this market for a few years now. So, don't bullshit me. I'll tell you if your mountains are so great. You show me the deal.

Benny is their target market, yo, and if he says it's bad marketing it's bad marketing.

Suck! Suck! Suck!
The branding douches have been working overtime for 8 months on these really savvy, original names. First Alterra and now Ikon. It only took a few million dollars and several thousand committees and focus groups to come up with these winners....I thought Ikon made copiers though, well I guess in these folks minds its all the same, like selling 10lb bags of dorritos at Costco....welcome to the Alterra experience....only at Walmart. But just get pysched that you might get some free days at an out-of-state mountain while your the soul of your home mountain is sucked out like the Spaceballs Vacu-suck.

I'm a Mammoth weekender too, and this is intriguing. If the price is not too much higher I would jump on it, I have places to stay in Tahoe so to have squalpine on there would be great. Because I spend about 3k a year on my Mammoth ski lease I don't have much of a travel budget, but it is cheap to fly up to norcal and crash with one of my buddies there. If I did do some traveling this pass would be awesome, as Big Sky and Jackson and Alta/Bird are some of the few places I would actually travel too.
I hope they give a Mammoth only option, I don't want to pay more than $900 for my Mammoth pass."Have you ever seen a monk get wildly fucked by a bunch of teenage girls?" "No" "Then forget the monastery."
