It's not really a strategy or hedging anything.Quote:

I wish the season pass wasn't an Ikon pass because it has driven numbers to beyond the point of breaking the place. To the same end happily I'd pay more for it to not be an Ikon mountain if it drove down numbers.
I think it highly likely that I will easily break even on buying what they're selling at the moment over buying day tickets though.
Anyone know if Ikon child passes are less than $339 if you’re renewing?
my thinking as well. not trying to game the system, just want some credit if the place I ski the most shuts down.Quote:

Not any more. There were discounts up until August 31.Quote:

If the Ikon resorts came out with their plans for the season it would be much more clear on what to do, but for now I'm mostly just guessing...
I’m considering the same.Quote:

I highly doubt weekdays will be an issue. Weekends will probably be a complete zoo. It would really help me to know if Ikon gave us an idea of how pass sales were going.Quote:

They are changing the ski team program though which seems like a bummer from what we can figure out...
If I select Mammoth as my home mountain, am I no longer able to use the Ikon pass at other resorts if I do get lucky and travel?
Yeah but the state may tell them otherwise. No one really knows.Quote:

I'm no expert--good luck trying to get one on the phone--but my understanding is that by picking Mammoth as your home mountain you get a credit towards next year if Mammoth is shut for a certain number of days this season. The amount of the credit depends on how many days it's closed. You can still travel, but if you book a trip to another Ikon resort that shuts due to covid you get nothing. OTOH if you don't pick a home mountain you get a credit if any of the resorts close but unless a lot of them close for a long time the amount you get is trivial.Quote:

If, however, you designate Mammoth as your home mountain and it closes for 90% of the season, you will get 90% of your purchase price back even if you ski 70 days at other Ikon resorts.
Halfway down this page: https://www.ikonpass.com/en/adventure-assurance is a description of the scenarios.
Don't disagree. I'm just sharing what the Mtn is planning at this point. As opposed to Vail for example. What actually ends up happening:confused: ???Quote:

I’d suck up the money for pay parking but I think those will fill quick.
Walk to Super Bee or Alpine!
I'm ready to say "fuck it" and roll with Silverton unguided + Cooper pass.
I really want to think these big mountains will provide an enjoyable experience, but just can't see it happening.
Is there a reasonable way to walk to the Alpine lift from the free lot (with a kid)?Quote:

It's going to be very challenging to make the experience enjoyable for my kid, but I'm still going to try!
From the Alpine lot to Bee, is there a route other than dodging busses on the main road?Quote:

It goes through the golf course and condos. I think its the bike/cart path
Is JHMR telling ikoners to go fuck themselves? Sure seems to be some confused people.
