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.

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.I'll say it - don't you think we might be overestimating just how much of an impact this will have?
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

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...I'll say it - don't you think we might be overestimating just how much of an impact this will have?

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

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 JacksonComment

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.Comment

My buddies were talking about a Big Sky trip next year, if I can afford Ikon I hope I can afford that too."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

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.Comment
