    Blackouts happen to be when kids are out of school, so don't know why you wouldn't get them a full pass, especially if you get one for yourself.

    so, I am sure that this is discussed somewhere in here, and maybe the Jackson thread too, but how do reservations work? Were they hard to get?

    I had no problem reserving for Jackson this year. Just log in to your account, select JHMR, and the dates you want, and hit submit. Easy peasy.

    Can someone with a full or base pass buy friends and family passes during the blackout dates?

    We're planning to get my wife a base pass and no pass for me since i have a seasons pass in Utah covered through employment. We travel to Steamboat and Summit County, CO at least once a winter to visit family so trying to do the math if a base pass is worth it for me or just pay for a few F&F passes when in CO? Only used 3 days in steamboat this year so would have been cheaper to for F&F route......

    I think the passholder has to ski the same day and place as the buddy. So valid any day the pass is valid.
    F&F kind of lame in my opinion because it 25% off window rate and you can get close to that buy buying online ahead of time.

    Well, I pulled the trigger on full Ikon. I feel dirty.

    Full ikon

    I'm not going to do an Abasin pass as they are redundant. I'll buy a 5 pack or an early season pass.

    Apologies if this has been mentioned.....

    I happened to be sleepless this morning at around 0400 PDT. Turned on the tube to see a 30 second IKON pass ad on CNN. Kinda wigged me out.

    Spending on ads instead of operations. That sounds about right when we pay a year ahead of time.
    No one really expects to be able to ski when it's actually snowing, right?
    Closed for 2 days during the season's biggest storm cycle and now after penny pinching business decisions, extremely limited options during the 2nd biggest.
    I've got an even worse taste in my mouth than normal at the precise moment Ikon wants me to be typing in my cc #.

    That's good to know, I thought the F&F rate was higher. I guess i'll get a 4 or 5 pack then.

    Stupid not to, really. One weekend day in Aspen, easily makes the premium worth it.

    Ha! Sleepless in Seattle...I'm thinking on an Ikon this year. Since I actually made it through the season without injury. Like 4 days at Bachelor and I break even

    Yup same. But I really wanted to ski Snow Basin after not being there forever, so they got me.

    Full Ikon
    Some extra Abasin days (after having a full pass since they went indy) so I can ski there 11 days
    Keystone+

    Versus last year, I have enough left over to buy a SIlverton Unguided or a Loveland Mid-Week... or just pocket the cash to spend as needed

    Anyone ever use the Affirm buy now pay later? I was waiting to put this purchase on a new airline card to easily hit the spend limit, but I don't have the card yet and the deadline is tomorrow. Was thinking of using the 0% affirm deal then paying it off once the card gets here. But I don't want to add a consumer finance account or a hard pull to my credit report just for this. Anyone use this before and know how they report to credit bureaus? Info on Dr. Google is mixed and non specific to iKon.

    I have always got a card number to use prior to physical card arriving(AK air & Delta), maybe call the credit card company?

    Yeah Amex is good about this, Chase is spottier.

    Trigger pulled. Remember the good old days when you could wait until Labor Day weekend to buy at the best rate? I understand why but it's still a dick move by Ikon.

    Last call FYI- their best rate disappears at midnight tonight, NOT at the end of day tomorrow. (Also a dick move).

    Fuck Ikon but I have no choice. Although I'm looking forward to skiing Snowbasin a day or two. So conflicted. :/

    This is my first time buying one, so leaning towards the base, but kinda considering base plus for my wife and I. I'm guessing 1 - 2 trips stateside this coming season and the majority in Canadian Rockies...

    So to answer part of my own question, chase lets me add the new card to a digital wallet, but iKon doesn't take those currently. Dammit. Really don't want to use affirm but can't see another way with the stupid deadline so early. If it was a few days from now no problem. This early commitment BS that Vail started and the industry followed sucks ass

    If I have 2 college students, is it better for me to buy them now as a renewal on my account or wait for them to get on campus next year and get a code from the campus rep (have seen those floating around here the past couple of years)?

    Risk vs. reward. If they do the campus rep codes they are excellent - something like 40% off. If they don't you can always buy an Ikon pass for a $100-ish more than now

    That's kind of what I thought. Plus gives me more time to pay. 7 full Ikons (only 1 child pass) is a tough pill to swallow. 1 student in ID and 1 in UT leads to lots of Ikon based travel skiing.
