You don't need to wager, it says so right on the Ikon Pass page. Blackouts are Dec. 26-31, 2018; Jan. 19-20, 2019; Feb. 16-17, 2019

Supposedly, the Mountain Collective will continue to exist next year.

You have to think that Vail Resorts has something up their sleeve to counter this move, right?
I'm guessing they purposely waited to announce their '18-19 offering until after the Ikon details came out. Their little corporate worker bees are buzzing around in circles this morning trying to figure out what to do. Since the Ikon Pass doesn't go on sale for 10 days, they have plenty of time to put together a press release and give customers something to think about.

looks ok for the CO or CA skier, and travellers, but for a Utah local this pass has nothing to offer really.
Should create a stir for Vail though....so there is that.

I've been riding the Epic Train for the past three seasons(first California winters, thought i had missed the drought ), two adults two younguns, both boys are now older than 12, wife and I were already planning to go Squawlpine for next year - just because variety...This definitely makes it more likely I will be admiring a new Ikon next season...have reasons to visit SLC for work- Parkcity is nice, but Alta Bird is Nicer...

Given the current state, this Ikon Pass will have a big impact on Epic Pass sales in the Front Range market.

Man, tough decision. Gotta think there will be a huge exodus over to Ikon but then Copper and especially WP will be crowded shitshows. Many of the old WP lifts can’t handle that.

Has nothing to do with the "old lifts"; Super G and Pano are shitshows every weekend and they're both very new. Though not sure what lifts you're talking about, as WP/MJ seems to have a fairly normal distribution of old to new lifts. Out of 19 chairlifts (not counting magic carpets and beginner pomas and stuff like that), 9 are high speed quads or sixes, and 10 fixed grip (4 triples and 6 doubles).

That ship has sailed Danno. Powder hours are the name of the game anywhere near Denver.
It would help make the WP side ski a little better, as well as cutting down on the general clusterfuck near Pano and Sunnyside.
Can't make those legendary bumps without legendary crowds beating the hill to a pulp!

I've recently been working on a bunch of infrastructure improvements at Copper.....they must be preparing for the mass exodus.

I wouldn't be surprised if they put in a Zephyr gondola.
Interestingly, an 8p gondola often has a lower uphill capacity than a quad chair, because you can't load the cars as quickly. However the real life uphill capacity might be better because gapers are less likely to stop the lift on a gondola. More importantly a gondola is useful for marketing and for getting people comfortably to on-mountain restaurants for fancy expensive dinners.
Go here and take a look at capacities for various lifts at various places, it's interesting. https://liftblog.com/colorado/ If you really want to move people the 6-pack is the way to go.
They currently have a few gondola cabins for the Zephyr that they throw on in the evening.

I wonder how if they will let some early spring skiing through if the pass goes on sale in two weeks. Mammoth usually does that.

So do passholders of the seven day access "Destination Resorts" get any kind of reciprocity from this like we did from the Mountain Collective?
