Bought my pass along with the kiddos.
Ikouldnt bring myself to spring for the base ikon as much as I hate everything about it.
Fuck whoever decided midweek nights aren't necessary anymore.

Tempted to down grade from the LTD to the remedy. Only skied 2 week end days this year but the December blackout would suck. Maybe I can use the 2 friends and family tickets for my self.
Bought it for me and the kids.
20% increase is steep, but Seattle is rich, so I'm sure they are not concerned they will "lose" customers.
I certainly don't like losing Alpy Tuesday or the night skiing reduction, but it's still the place for me.
Added Ikon base for myself for spring Mt Bachelor skiing even though I felt bad doing it.
Not that you will need it but bachelor usually has a spring pass for very reasonable.Quote:

I'm doing Ikon (full) plus Remedy for me and Ikon for the family. A couple trips to Utah and one to Canada make it the best call. My kids each did less than 10 days at Snoqualmie this year, so the 7 days on Ikon will probably be enough. I may buy my daughter a Remedy pass so she can come with me on nights and go up with friends. Getting rid of Tuesday and Wednesday nights at Alpental is brutal for me. Those two days made up close to 50% of my Alpental days this year.
I pulled the trigger today on the Alpental Plus and the base Ikon - $1226 out the door. Ouch. But I did get a free BackBowl pass. Will I get a separate Ikon card or is it preloaded on my Summit card?
I think the latter is going to be the call for me too. I have to get full Ikon for the same reason, and I just don't see myself getting up there much more than 7 times. (reality is tough to face in this case...)Quote:

I'm ok with some of the changes.
Saturday night skiing feels like a nice return (although should not be at the cost of wednesday night).
I'm excited for mondays. It's ridiculous that they aren't open 7 days a week midwinter. I don't care about powder Tuesdays - they suck now with techons.
I'm also excited for the new chair. More skiing, less lines.
The Ikon add on seems like a nice perk. It seemed like we were getting fucked by ikon with no benefits and 300 for a revy or mammoth trip is nice.
It does seem like MANY people will buy unlimited + Ikon add rather than crystal.
The parking sucks, but it also does limit ski capacity. Just show up at 815-830 and drink yer coffee. We're always empty on the vacation weekends since alpy isn't a destination.
Unpopular opinion: improve and make the maintenance lot for 3+ passengers. Make Hyak main lot for pass holders only
This year felt ok from a crowd perspective. Maybe it's because people wouldn't shut up about el nino and go ski
Edit: reply button not working, but @puma
Yes, just can't send to yourself.
Keep Alpy Lots Small!!!!
Tow shitfuck parkers.
It’s all we got

The pipedeam would be for Summit to hire enough staff to adequately staff the place so that they arent constantly on an overworked skeleton crew. A few weeks ago when they opened late on a tuesday powday because they had to complete maintenance on Armstrong i was irked that it wasnt done on Monday when they were closed, but also realized that the singular lift mechanic, who may or may not live in the shack below sessel, did need a day off. Like i said, hopefully summit mgmt plans their staffing properly for the additional operations.Quote:

But i am really bummed about the night skiing, especially if it doesnt revert to the previous schedule and i dont get to night ski with my kid on weekdays when he is old enough.
Almost $1400 for me and my kid hurts but it’s still better than sitting in gold bar at traffic lights for 2 hours on the way home. The price increase sucks but at least they are investing in the mountain. Still mad about the night skiing changes.
That's a word we don't use around here...Quote:

Unfortunately I have too many meetings in the morning, but should be up for an afternoon session on the padded seats tomorrow if anyone is around.
On a busy ski school weekend all the lots on the pass can be full by 10 amQuote:

Agree. This was a pleasant surprise and took a bit of the sting out of the increased ticket pricing.Quote:

I skipped signing up when I bought my passes but just signed up. How did you get them to credit your pass purchases if you bought them before signing up for the rewards system? Was it automatic or did you have to contact them?Quote:

Are pass purchases eligible for Boyne Rewards points? It appears that lift tickets and purchases on www.summitatsnoqualmie.com are eligible. If so, it would be pretty sweet to get 3700 points from my recent pass purchase. They say 500 points are worth $25. I'd love to get $185 worth of credit back from my families pass purchases.Quote:
