So I've obtained a special group rate with them for the next season in 2020-21 for both Ikon Pass and Ikon Base Pass.
Please let me know if you are interested in joining my group and I'll send you more info.
Thank you!

NOPE. TAKE A FUCKING LAP, JONG.

pm Ottime for the group buy.

Yeah, but, the half off over two makes prices tolerable at times, especially if it's cheaper Targhee.

I think some of you are underestimating the number of people who only ski for a week each year on a ski vacation. Those people that were buying Ikon passes and taking their vacations in JH and Aspen now will be paying another $150.

I’m thinking of going back to mountain collective since JH and aspen are more on ikon. And alta/bird are separate on MC. Half price thing is def a consideration

**uglymoney** · 03-10-2020, 08:26 PM

Agree^^^

Jh for 3 days and Ghee for 2. Makes for a perfect week. Either Utardia or Aspen/Taos for the other week.

Tempting. Half the price as Ikon for us.

Really ?

Got any data links to back that up?
I would think that anyone that can pony up for a resort ski vacation would not have any problem going skiing a few more days elsewhere.
Unless maybe you live in Miami.

This year's vice-grip to the balls is unusually harsh though maybe is likely the first of grabs by Ikon after they have established their presence. The alternative is MC and that is being manipulated by Alterra in tandem with Ikon pass. Not a positive outlook. Hate to say it.....

Dropping JH and Aspen and not being transparent about it ?? Chicken Sh*t marketing. Not cool.

Faux improvements - new Gondola at Steamboat - capacity not quality of experience, new Golf Course Chair announced today, capacity and marketing, not quality of experience. Been there 4ever for us ..........

The alternative is to support your local, independent mountain and their lack of relative crowds and douchebags. Otherwise, I wish we had straight forward, single mountain pass pricing to support the experience on what is now Disneyland Ikon resorts ..........

Crowns - y0u can stay in F ing Aspen......

**Brock Landers** · 03-10-2020, 09:47 PM

I mean it’s not THAT expensive, if you’re skiing double digit days a year. Still a value add option

**Nevada29er** · 03-10-2020, 11:06 PM

I'm totally good with the price increase to JH and Vail. JH is WAY overated, and Vail just has stupid crowds. Seems more like a dumb tax to me.

**lifelinksplit** · 03-10-2020, 11:16 PM

The circular arguments are pretty fucking entertaining. I'm gonna just keep biting my tongue and watching from a distance..

**Brock Landers** · 03-11-2020, 05:55 AM

Thanks for the update

Guess I'm stupid then.

It's opposite day, isn't it?

**Danno** · 03-11-2020, 09:05 AM

Alterra just announced a bunch of new expert terrain in Steamboat. Anyone know where this terrain is? Is it off the radio tower?

Pretty sure it's the stuff that is currently just OOB served by a gate on the far north run off Pioneer. You would exit the gate, hit some nice meadow/glades, then do a traverse/bit of a sidestep/hike back around inbounds to catch the Pony Express. Vague speculation of extent of new terrain:

I assume this is correct as they've been talking about opening this area up for a couple years.

Edit: Verified.

It is the stuff lookers left of Pony. They’re adding like 20 chairs to Pony in order to help access the new zone. I was there a couple of weeks ago poking around on that boundary rope, that stuff looks sweet back there.
