Ikon Pass

[spanky]

Why couldn't my 13yo daughter have a better timed birthday???

She can have any birthday you say she has!

This. I never enter actual birthday on anything that doesn't require it, because it is personal identifiable information. If you visit any ikon resort to get your kid a free ticket, that is how you initially get in their system, so that is when you need to pick an ideal birthday. Probably hard to change after it is in the system.

It's plenty easy to change. 'No, that was my older kid Grom Maggot. This is the younger one Grommm Maggot.' No ID = they are who you say they are.

Ha, I never thought about a name change.

Don't forget to shot me a PM before renewing so you can help out the community here. If you are new, for sure send me a PM so you can help yourself.

I received a mailer this week stating 4/18.

Ooof. Lots up in the air with Abasin and I don’t expect any useful information to be shared by then.

After the 18th, the best prices will be with the group buy. Its a small increase for Adults to give you a few more weeks to decide. Child prices will increase a bit more. PM me for details.

I did the same thing, and was surprised that the system allowed it to go through. I'm kind of expecting them to catch the mistake at some point and send me a bill!

Yeah, they won't catch the "mistake" because there is no mistake, they go by date of purchase vs date of birth.

Yeah, she's been in Ikon's system for many years, and I have a hard time believing that I could suddenly have my daughter "Jennifer" disappear and a different younger daughter "Jenny" appear on my account. [note: name changed to protect the innocent ]

Hi Ottime! My wife and I are switching over to Ikon this year for Schweitzer/BC and would much rather go through the group buy. Just joined the forum so can't PM quite yet, but let me know if you're able to PM me the details. Thanks!

Weird that I haven't been getting spammed to renew my pass. I see a little advert on the side of my screen as I type telling me I have 6 days, 5 hours, 29 minutes and 27 , 26, 25 seconds....

[NBABUCKS1]

they are spamming the shit out of the slc airport though

[Core Shot]

Just here to complain about this years pricing.

Fucking crack dealers they are. Start out cheap. Get us used to traveling all over. Destroy local mountains. Then jack the price and it’s hard to say no.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Then don't buy one ^^^

[k2skier112]

What's the advantage of the group buy, reduced renewal? Or a free pass for minimum purchase...?

[Core Shot]

Too late. $4k gone.

Usually no reduction in your price.

The big benefit is that Ottime gets some free passes as the "Captain" of the group buy. These passes are then given too deserving Mags who might not get to ski on a pass due to a variety of reasons. There is always a thread for folks to nominate people for these free passes.

Doesn't save or cost you anything other than pm'ing Ottime some details. But the free pass benefits certainly bring joy to many.

I think they should Jack the shit out of the passes, like 2000. Make people decide how much they want to ski. At $2000k it’s about 9-14 days of day tickets depending on resort. And then they need to keep day ticket prices the same. It would cut down on the crowds, give them the same profit margin, and keep people happier. The only people that won’t be happy are the ones that can afford it and they can go join the epic shit show.

Thanks. I thought it was for the free passes.

Ah, capitalism. They will continue to increase the prices as long as unit sales remain fairly consistent. They will even take a slight hit to unit sales if the price increases cover the loss in demand.

I would agree with this if they hadn't jacked day tickets to the moon and removed almost every avenue for getting discounts. At $2K it's a definite no for me and a big chunk of their pass base. Remember the pass is the loss leader to get you to the resort to really spend money.

[old goat]

Much as I hate the crowds (although being retired I can usually avoid them except on midweek powder days) I'd hate to see prices raised to limit the number of people who buy passes. Skiing has never been a democratic sport but it wasn't always as elitist as it is now and I don't want to see it become even more so.

[buttahflake]

$800 is a lot of money for me to ski, it just is. $2000 would price me out.

[SoVT Joey]

Magic-699
Bromley-825

Ikon-1250
Epic-982




Those are prices for full passes with no blackout. There are plenty of options that will remain for single, private smaller mtns all over that will be in a friendly budget range for most. But skiing season length, grooming, infrastructure, etc are leaps and bounds above the private areas at the ikon and epic mountains. I can ski for free at bromley and would rather pay for Stratton.

I do shell out for first tracks on my pass so I do benefit from that, but it’s definitely expensive.

Ikon and epic raising prices more would directly benefit non related ski areas by sending customers to them. They would also be cutting crowds and still profiting.

Ya those are all early season full pass prices without renewals. I was 1149 and ended up at 1659 with first tracks, after tax and everything
