Infinite concentration of novices,

Actually, I like that some guys who work at Squaw call it the Ikook

Hmm. How many people who consider themselves ski area locals are natives? What's the average time living in the area--2-3 years maybe?

Has Winter Park gotten more crowded during the week and on storm days since becoming Ikonic?

I don’t think so was at Mary Jane last Monday and was empty. It will be a shit show this weekend but always is presidents weekend. Skied Steamboat last Friday through Sunday it was busy Friday and Saturday but only for about two hours. Still fresh lines in closets all day Friday all the tourists don’t ski off trail there. Hitting Loveland this weekend.

Will be in Alta over April fools looking forward to it....I will make sure to get those IKON stickers on my skis before I get there.

When will the 19/20 Ikon details come out? Will they price it higher from the start?

They’re requiring deposit/agreement on March 5, 2019 for the 19/20 season to get the best rate.

I think you mean they'll announce the new season pricing soon. They usually give you until, oh, May to jump in on early deals.

GM Replied to my e-mail. Lots of Yadda Yadda and promises of new lifts and infrastructure.

About what you would expect.

**The SnowShow** · 02-17-2019, 09:00 AM

Any mention of an acquisition of Arapahoe Basin?

I heard Abasin and LL were going to join forces and connect via a gondola. It could be the only way Abasin can solve its parking issues.

Moonlight takes over night ops and the new acquisition becomes Daylight Basin, right?

It'll be really interesting to see what changes there are in price, days, destinations and base/versus full options.

For the 20/21 and 21/22 seasons, they're tossing around the idea of making you buy both at once. Like both in March at the same time.

As in, you have to buy 2 years worth of passes?

Huh. I'm not sure what to think about that.

I wonder if it's more to lock in the pass purchases or more to lock in the ski areas?

I don't think I'd have a problem with that, especially if it was discounted cause you are buying 2 years out. However, it'd be rough for everyone to come up with the scratch to cover 2 years up front. Unless they allowed people to pay in installments (which they didn't do last year.)
