Pretty tough for the Super B to get a line, and the new lifts are fast AF too (when they aren't breaking down).

    PM Simple for the lowdown on secret camping spots.
    Not Kirkwood. Even with the Epic, that place is empty on blackout days. Ski right onto the lift. Even can be that way on a legit powder day. January 1st sucks.

    Yeah, when I say "Everywhere" I meant every ski resort in CO. Since OP is driving from the east coast, I'm guessing that the additional 15hr to KW are a deal breaker.

    My new theory with these mega passes is that since people aren't paying $100+ a day for a lift ticket, they aren't as inclined to stay out on the hill all day. Instead, they don't mind taking a long lunch at the lodge, or maybe leave early to beat traffic, or if it is cold/windy call it a day and go sit in the hot tub. Maybe they skip a day or two to recover and go shopping. This means that there are fewer people on the hill at a given time, even though there are a shitload of people in town. It also means that showing up at noon means you can have the place to yourself a lot of days. Of course, as always, powder days are the exception.

    Agree! Kirkwood was fun last spring! Since WP and Copper are the unlimited no blackout spots, I am worried they will be so crowded it sucks. But agree that folks that only ski holidays often are not out for first chair. And they leave half eaten food in the cafeteria!

    It seems to me there are more early risers and early quitters than before. At least in the Tahoe epicville.

    Xmas, NYE, Presidents Day Weekend, and Spring Break is one giant holiday now. Starts about December 20 and ends about April 1st. It's the "100-day weekend." Welcome to the new norm.

    I'm just trying to figure out when I should come out to hit Big Sky and Jackson. Maybe two trips.

    I agree with this. There's a crush from 10-12:30 and then a mini from 1:15-2ish. Outside of those hours there is a big dropoff - at least in Ikonworld.

    in all seriousness, I'd suggest coming to JH sometime between January 5th and MLK weekend. snow should be pretty good, holiday crowds gone and rates lowered, and you'll get ahead of the unbelievable ikon crowds. if we have halfway decent snow, if ikon sells 100k-300k more passes than last year, and if everyone who came here for the first time last year tells all their friends how sickgnar it was, it's gonna be a mess from MLK onward, and February should be just a no-go if you have a choice in the matter. it's all relative.

    don't wait till february in the hope of getting powder perfection. ski january powder and maybe clip a few rocks in a few spots. way better rates on hotels in January too, or if you're planning to illegally van camp, you'll find a lot less CO-plated vans crowding all the best illegal camping spots.

    We renewed early and got $30 off last season's early price ($619 vs $649). Also, last year we used our IKON passes at 8 different areas, including in Canada, and could walk on the lifts everywhere except Deer Valley. Really nice not having to hassle with going in and getting your picture taken everywhere like with the Mt. Collective.

    So, new passes sent each year (last year's pass doesn't get used)?

    Yep. We did the math and for us the price was exactly the same Ikon vs Mountain Collective (assuming we did what we did last year). The big difference is the convenience. Huge hassle getting the MC for each place visited.

    received my pass today. I have never received so much shit in an envelope before. Decals, games, patches. What a waste

    Just stick the Ikon stickers on lift poles at each Ikonic resort you visit. I’m sure the “locals” won’t mind.

    Got mine yesterday. Pretty stoked about it actually. I like the oversized postcard with all the areas on it.
