I guess I just don't understand. For $1000 I can get 21 days locally at DV, Alta/Snowbird & Solitude with no blackout days. At some point doesn't Alterra have to make DV & Solitude unlimited to actually compete with Epic?
SFB, never get tired of looking at your photos, keeps me happy as we suffer heat and humidity.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Alta and Snowbird drop out of Ikon in 2019 if Solitude goes unlimited on the Ikon pass. As it stands now, the Ikon pass isn’t a huge competitor for season pass sales, but that changes if Solitude is unlimited. $1,400 for LCC pass or $1,000 for Soli and 7 alta/bird and DV days would probably sway me back to BCC.

Yeah, I know I'm a broken record, but One Wasatch just got one step closer to happening. We used to have 7 separate central Wasatch ski areas on 7 season passes, now it's being whittled down to the same seven on three passes. Oh yeah!

Soli is sofaking meh. The lifts make no sense, the goods are odd and the odds arent good. I cant believe anyone ever skis there. And the locals are assholes. SFB snakes my freshies every fucking time. Whadda asshole. Even his spancer snaked my freshies. Fantasy ridge booter? Only if you are suicidal. And dont get me started about B Righton. Nothing but stoned knuckledraggers sideslipping everything. You think soli is meh, the terrain at btown will put you to sleep.

A buddy of mine lost his footing on that hike in March of last season (16-17). Fell from where you're describing, I'd bet it's the same. Not so sure I'd call him a Jerry, just shit happened at a bad time. We're all one step away from Jerry I suppose, :shrug:.

The point is that if you're a basic SLC skier, you're either EPIC Pass for Park City, or you can now be IKON Pass for Solitude unlimited, 7 (or 5) days Alta/Bird and 7 (or 5) days at Deer Valley.
Remember that the average season pass holder doesn't ski any more than 20 days a year.

One Wasatch with five five resorts maybe but not seven. I would be shocked if Vail let their skiers take a lift to another resort. The Mtn business plan is based to a great extent on getting skiers on site where they spend money on rentals, lessons, trinkets and over priced meals. If PCMR does not participate is there a route for lifts to get from DV to Solitude? Also I wonder with Soli and DV together does Brighton really want to be the conduit for Alterra to be more successful.

Jesus!!!
Butthurt much?
Fantasies?
I was doing fantasies before all that electronic bull shit when soli lefties were still punching the green pass.
did fantasies before I ever owned a pack that you could strap your skis to. I carried my skis and poles and held on to that fucking rope.
Been there done that and that's about all soli has going for it. Rest is meh.
Be right on? Laughin! Deer valley thinks that Brighton's flat.
Taco, don't need to tell all my friends, we all get free soli passes. They know what it's like.
Soli is a lot like the greens, it's a cool river and all until you float another river, any other diversed river.
If I toured which I don't than soli and Brighton would be a good choice.Hunting kicks ass.

Hey, it was second thing in the morning.
Only one guy got peeled off firmly, iirc.
Tourguiding in LeisureLand isn't my thing. Schmooze cruise can be fun in little doses, but it's gotta be balanced by tough-to-reach turns.
Hoping to catch the party at Soli this coming spring.
Carry on.

Theturdcutter--somehow you misinterpret everybody thinking you're full of shit with butthurt. And if you'll notice, I said "tell every one you know". I made no mention of friends or lack there of. 'Friends' in your case is wayyyyy to small an audience. I just don't think you're quite the skier you think you are yo

Oh snap.
Touring is a huge factor in season pass purchases imo. It makes a ski area SO much bigger than their stats. That's the case here, if it weren't for the touring this place wouldn't be much to be honest. spending a day touring when you have a season pass is cool but if you had to pay full price for a day ticket at the window you'd be bumming to ride the chair once and then climb all day for two or three good laps. That being said I like Solitude. There's plenty of fun stuff there but I'm not picky, I live in Arizona so I can't be.dirtbag, not a dentist

weird thing is that Ski Utah has offered that pass for the past 20ish years..... and when Vail purchased PCMR/Canyons they removed themselves from that pass. I wouldn't expect Vail to play ball with that concept, it totally goes against their business model of offering a cheap season pass and then milking their skiers for every dime at every chance.
On the Solitude sidecountry debate, you all do realize you can easily access the solitude sidecountry more quickly just by hiking from hwy 210/LCC, right? you need to ride 2-3 lifts to hike a gate at solitude whereas its an easy 45 minute hike from Alta to Silver Fork.
Solitude is a great ski area with great terrain though. I always enjoy skiing there, but damn if solly skiers don't take more pride in their bootpacks than they do in the ski area's actual skiing terrain. oooohhhhh you have a steep bootpack with a cable around a rock......
