I actually did book with central reservations and they told me they can only guarantee lift tickets IF i buy lift tickets from them starting October 5th.
It’s baffling. Either I take a risk that ikon will let me reserve on November 9th or I’m supposed to pay an additional 1k to use what ikon was supposed to give me in the first place? I can imagine Ikon/Alterra will lose a lot of business from everyone including myself if this is the situation that unfolds.
Especially considering I’m probably not the only one that upgraded to the full pass SPECIFICALLY to ski Jackson

What a scam. I suppose you might be able to raise a stink with IKON or the lodging but my suggestion would be to take your business elsewhere. And if you do, an online review about the lodging trying to extract an extra grand for lift access you already paid for would be in order.

I thought I had understood they were allowing up to seven days worth of reservations from the outset. Wouldn’t it make sense to take a chance on the ikon system working with an early reservation in for your desired dates?

Thats epic’s system for the Vail owned resorts. Ikon hasn’t given any more info on how many spots they’ll have available per day at Jackson or any of their partner resorts yet. My worry is that the number will be extremely low and might be booked in minutes once the reservation system comes online.

I think I’d have more luck with Jackson’s lodging system rather than complaining to Ikon. I’m going to have to wait and see if i can get my reservations in November but the downside is, if i don’t, I’ll have to cancel and rebook somewhere else, and lose the fantastic deal i got for JHMR.

I’m going to say if you book a trip right now, there may be no condolences.
The world is a mess but I want a ski trip dammit’

I would read that thread for sure.
I’ve got shoulder surgery coming up, so plan to skip skiing until maybe February. It would help me make informed decisions for sure.

After A-Basin opens, look for a new thread from me.
I've never used Strava or stuff like that, but...Last night, I stumbled onto an app which looks like overkill at first glance, but actually it might be a super-easy way for me to present 10 daily photos of crowd-sizes at lift lines, groups not wearing masks, parking fiascos, crowd-sizes in indoor lodges, etc. That app's one-click generation of a video looks way easier than uploading a bunch of photos onto this forum, hahaha.
See an example of the features at https://www.relive.cc/view/vYvrDY4ZdL6 (but that user's video didn't focus on my idea of taking photos of COVID craziness).

Just based on my anecdotal experience this weekend on the OR Coast, there are going to be a shit ton of skiers at the resorts this winter. Expect looong waits to ride the chairs. Bring your own food and water, and wear a diaper. And the diaper is for your ass, not your face. But if you feel the need to wear the diaper on your face, far be it from me to issue advice on how to wear a diaper. Be best!

So
24 hours to decide on the local hill refund.
Which resort is most likely to close? I don’t like the nationwide average bullshit. Most likely, I expect to roll the ikon over to next year, but it would be nice to both ski and get a refund.. . .

Bankart repair for me basically. I’ll be in the immobilizer sling until December depending on my scheduled surgery date. I bet I could be out by Christmas and would do so in a normal year. Figure I’ll wait until at least after New Years this season and try to avoid the crowds. And see how shit pans out.
Doc says 6 months until contact sports and he considered skiing a contact sport. I almost called him a beater right there in the meeting.
My biggest concern is a slip on ice in the lot.

I got bankart repair last July and was skiing by November. If your doctor did a good job and tightened up the socket, the only thing that can really re-injure your shoulder is another dislocation event. I had already been in the gym for 2 months at that point too, so having a buncha strength back gave me some peace of mind.
