To all of you who don’t care – just don’t read instead of getting upset about the discussion.![]()
Well after “Endless” asked this question about Whistler and Whistler Blackcomb I had to check my personal list again and had some rather long discussions about a few resorts I did count separate.
Depending on how you count it can make quite a difference
What do you think about the following?
- Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass are 4 despite the fact that you can you the same ticket
- Alta and Snowbird are for sure 2 in my opinion as you have to buy a special by far to expensive ticket to ski both
- Same deal for Big Sky and Moonlight Basin
In Europe it gets even more interesting
Arlberg region: Lech, Zürs, St. Anton, St. Christoph, Stuben and Sonnenkopf can be skied by the same daypass. 6, 5, 4 or less. Difficult as some are linked others require a bus ride, different management etc. In my opinion at least 5 as you can count Lech and Zürs as one with the same website and management.
Andermatt Gotthard: Andermatt, Realp, Winterhorn, Nätschen/Gütsch, Oberalp, Sedrun. Once again difficult. Different schedule, different management, not really liked unless you use the train but one ticket available but also cheaper tickets if you ski only one of them.
Flims, Laax and Falera are also named “Weisse Alpenarena”. They are linked, have one ticket. I count them as one.
Obergurgl and Hochgurgl. Linked mid Mountain by a gondola, one daypass = one resort for me.
Verbier and 4 Vallées. Well difficult again. You can get a ticket for Verbier or for 4 Vallées which includes Verbier. Verbier has its own website as well as 4 Vallées. No matter how you count this how do you count Bruson which is included as well just like Super St. Bernard?
Now I should better stop before I ask about some French resort where you have up to 10 resort on the same daypass some of them linked and some require to drive.
