Cry me a river. I saw a 10% increase in my seasons pass price and all I get is the dubious value of a preferred parking area.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

For those who missed it (and didn't understand the Aspen/JHMR comments), the 20/21 Ikon is up on website and goes on sale next week. Biggest change is JHMR and Aspen will cost extra to add to the basic pass ($150 extra, I guess Basic+). A couple Eastern hills got added as unlimited. Stratton and Sugarbush can expect to become the Crystal Mountain/Solitude of the East.

^^^ Thanks for that.
In the grand scheme, $ 150 to add those hills will mean little to nothing other than to add to the IKON bottom line.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

The IKON pass has definitely affected Utah, but it's also very true that the sudden end of winter in California is a bigger factor. I was already out there and know a bunch of other people who did the same. It's a short, relatively inexpensive flight. I may be back later in March if things don't turn around soon.

Makes upgrading to the regular Ikon a bit more enticing. I've always wanted to ski JH, and Aspen seems like a good spot to hit a few different ski areas while being able to stay in one location, but too many other places on the pass for me to justify the upgrade unless I can convince myself to get the full pass and ski the holidays. Funny how I used to avoid skiing the holidays at all costs, but now it looks like it could be worth spending more for relatively quiet skiing.
Also interesting that you can get a single mountain pass for Crystal for $1299, or just get a Ikon Base with no blackouts there. I'm sure all the longtime Crystal pass holders appreciate the options.“I really lack the words to compliment myself today.” - Alberto Tomba

Can anyone tell me where I can find an area that has great snow, great terrain, close to a big city or an easy flight, affordable, not crowded, and not on IKON pass or any other mega pass. I'm tired of this IKON bs.

I think there will be a large swing back to Epic this year. Seems like an unforced error on Alterras part.

So - Alta/Bird not included in the up charge? Winning for some...

Uggghhh, no upcharge or blackouts for Crystal? Do they not understand supply and demand?

Well we bought the Ikon this year and hitting Aspen/JH among others. I guess I know a good deal when I see it.
It has been a few years since I had zero JH days. Always amazed to read about adults who have never skied it?! Honestly this might be a good reason to get off my beaten track for a year or go back to MC one of the smaller Indy passes like Monarch or Loveland or stay with Ikon and get back to Revy maybe do Zermatt.
I can see the fee having at least some impact on JH crowding.

The child 5 to 12 full Ikon is 309 minus 100 with adult pass. The Ikon Base Plus is 419 minus 100 with adult pass.
So buying a renewal full Ikon at 899 is cheaper than the 799 base plus pass if you have a grom like I do? Looks that way.
Hmm....now that I think about it. Full Ikon it will be! No blackouts. Cheaper anyway. Still get my JH fix and fuck the tram line for all the locals. Puts Utardia back into play for MLK weekend.
Sorry locals. I have to buy 2 passes also though since Chestnut is an Indy. So my sympathy doesn't run all that deep.

$999 for the unlimited pass. Wow.
In another couple years the duopoly will be charging $1500 per year for their passes.
