    Just some statistical analysis and machine learning, actually depending on how this year shakes up, next year might be better than this year but it will still most likely be bad, greater than 75% of less than 150" of snow, current YTD for CB is 107" so if they get 43" or more for the rest of this year, than there's a 25% that this year will be as good or better than next.

        Within 3 hours of town, Ikon and Epic really aren't much different from previous years offering.
        Who cares that you can now ski somewhere 9+ hours away?
        Geezus, by the sounds of it, the WP parking lineup will start at Jones Pass turnoff and Copper will actually have a line at A-chair
        No one here ever overreacts and this place is a perfect segment representation of a front range skier that is likely to buy a season pass.

          Some truth to that. But I have heard -- here and elsewhere -- about numerous EPIC people looking to switch next year, certainly in part due to the IKON offerings. Purely anecdotal, but...

          But you're probably right, it will likely be the same old status quo.

            I'm already scheming a Big Sky/Jackson trip as well as a Alta-Bird/DV trip next season...

            And Aspen. I forgot Aspen...

              I'd bet that less than 2% of CO passholders pull that off.

              Most will do their standard WP/Eldora/Copper day, maybe a weekend or two at Steamboat or Aspen, and if they are REALLY lucky, one extended weekend to SLC or Jackson

                That's 15,000 colorado skiers descending into the SLC or Jackson every weekend. Assuming that Vail sells 750k passes and all 2% of those skiers go to the same place every weekend.

                  My buddies were talking about a Big Sky trip next year, if I can afford Ikon I hope I can afford that too.

                    I'm OK with that. Fuck those people anyways.

                      That would be the preferred scenario.
                      I can hear the locals bitching already!

                        We should plan that, total flash mob ski scene. That might be the greatest thing of all time if we pulled it off.

                          Even with the CB news, I think there are a ton of people out there looking to alleviate the metering at the tunnel and are looking to go to WP, thus switching to Ikon.

                          Epic bitching on CBMR’s social media of course. It’s gold, Jerry. Gold.

                            I can't believe that people are upset and commenting on social media.

                              Only short term locals and trustys will bitch about the influx of business to that town.

                                And complain about how the "character" of town will totally change. From, you know, like 3 years ago.
