    Season pass prices? (ouch)

    Just curious as to what resorts are charging for a season passes (not including employee discounts or hiking for turns -- I do that plenty, too, but I still pony-up for lift-served).

    So... what are the pass prices that you're seeing? What are the worst and best deals out there?

    Jackson Hole 2005-06:
    Full pass, no discount / highest-discount: $1,945 / $1,595
    Midweek Pass, no discount / highest-discount: $1,475 / $1,240

    heh...summit county seems to be following the rule--for a limited good public good, it's value decreases as more people use it--5-mountain passes are like $380 or something

    Midweek (no discount/best discount): $949 / $849

    Other contenders for the highest?

    Lowest?

    That's what real resorts are charging. Fake resorts like Killington are charging $625 for the "earlybird" gold pass. They have a bronze pass for 3-and-change I think.

    You know it's that whole "pay more, ski less" thing they got going on over here on the Ice Coast. It's all the rage!

    $usually $1500 CAD for sunshine, lake louise, norquay, nakiska, fernie, kimberly, panorama, and marmot.

    really only 4 or so of the resorts are usufull, but a 7 month season makes up for that a bit

    Alpental Unlimited $279, goes up to $329 after nov 1.
    But was $600 back before Booth Creek took over.

    But it's a ski area not a "resort". We dernt have no fancy smancy ree sorts rund hare

    Edit: I would pay $600 again to keep the extra 50% of the prople off the hill.
    Move upside and let the man go through...

    Deer Valley:
    $1,585 for a full-price pass. Yikes!

    Aspen:
    $1,879 or $1,579 for "super-early"

    Steamboat:
    $1,450 vs. $950 early

    Sun Valley:
    $1,875 (or $2,000 w/ nordic access)

    Sun Valley could be the winner.

    I would have thought that the deer valley pass would be more expansive. What with all their 1000 groomers and all.
