anyone know what the timeline is like from "bought pass" to "got pass in the mail" these days?
also lazily: when you show up at a resort, do you need to do anything to "redeem one of your 5 days" or do you just swipe it and go?

It'll depend on whether that resort has yet installed the Ikon compatible card reader.
For instance last season at Crystal we were issued a Crystal season pass and an Ikon pass. Other Ikon pass holders who visited Crystal had to get a paper ticket at the window.
This year we're on the Ikon card equipment and only one pass... other Ikon card holders will just swipe and go.

I broke my toe the morning I had a hut reserved to do Fuji, classic timing! I did some shorter limp-y hikes around Kyoto + Katsuyama instead....holy humidity though! I found out too late I shoulda gone to Hakuba, taken a lift up part-way, and then hiked from hut-to-hut, it looked super rad but I was out of time and the weather looked shit for a quick mission trip up there. My toe coulda handled that I think.
Where did you go hike?

Nice, I was eyeing that region and similar hikes nearby, looked beautiful if it was clear. I did a lot of hikes that started above temples and shrines, ended with delicious meals, so no complaints. I could even run downhill with the broken toe a bit...first few days afterwards though sucked!

Ikon-related news:
Steamboat's brand new $15 million gondola broke after 2 days. The main drive shaft snapped last night. Don't make 'em like they used to.

It was really fast, until it wasn't. It's gonna be down at least a month I think, they can't just swap out parts like that. Plus more tests and recertification. Thank god for thunderhead. Lifties better work on their lift line/corral management, shit's gonna get wedged.

Is that the same company that built the two Copper lifts that had/are still having problems? WTF?

Well, to be clear - there was already an 8-person gondola there. They just put in a faster one. Until shit broke and it became a much slower one.
I'm interested to see if they start snowcat'ing ALL the food/garbage/equipment to the upper mountain now? What a logistical shitshow that should be...
