JH 24-25 POW TOWN STOKEZONE

[Djongo Unchained]

First 3 weeks and last 4 weeks of winter... which can be excellent skiing some seasons.
A few seasons they extended it a few more weeks. That really exacerbated crowds, so they reeled it in after a few seasons.

And changed the buddy passes from half off to 25% off a coupla seasons ago. That just made them almost valueless. Travel and pay for a $200+ daily ticket @ half off? OK.
25% off? not so much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


So I'm starting to get a lot of input regarding incoming mags and I'm beginning to think maybe a Jackson Summit could be in order.
Any thoughts from locals and incoming are requested!
I'm thinking a week in January or February. Ski weekdays for peeps avoiding weekends and a weekend event for those who can only spare a day or three.

Skiers and snowboarders who own a valid 2024-25 winter resort season pass ANYWHERE in the world can come to 'The Big One' and receive a very special rate. Travel to Jackson Hole between November 29 - December 19 or March 17 - April 13 and receive a 50% discount on lift tickets based on the current daily window rate.

Well shit, I’m not likely to pay to ski before December 19 unless we get major snow, and I’m headed out of town to ski end of March, so maaaaaybe right when it first opens again March 17th-ish.

yeah I have friends visiting who did zero research of what day tickets cost in the year 2024.

They are ending up buying mountain collective for 4 days between targhee/jhmr.

My Arapahoe Basin pass got me 50% off last year. Still pricey for JH but GT was pretty affordable. I think it is passes at any mountain on the MC gets 50% off tix at other MC resorts, which can be a pretty good deal. I just got the MC this year because I hope I'll be able to use it more.

[Djongo Unchained]

Aha, I'd forgotten about that little tidbit. Getting a 50% break at any MC resort if your season pass IS an MC resort.
FKNA, Now I can go ski at Sun Valley for 1/2 off.

So discount ticket options are the 50% MC angle above/anytime, or 50% off during Golden Ticket (Wonka) season, or a 25% off buddy pass/anytime.

Avett Brothers headlining Rendezvous music fest April 5...

[east or bust]

A late Jan or early Feb summit would work best for this mag. Once mid Feb hits my winter is verkakte....

AZ wedding, potentially JAPOW, and trying to make it to WC in SV..

[Djongo Unchained]

EoB- I'm interested in the WC @ SV too. But I'm in Suisseland until the 22nd, which is opening race day for the DH methinks. But I may hop in the car and bolt over for the SG or GS race day.
Maybe a party van trip over. Who has a party van? Hmmmm...

[byates1]

If you are a 25 yr old skier chick hot AF I've got a party van all day son

Dare to dream.

Checking in as I'll be making the pilgrimage from Seattle to spend the final days of the year at Jackson Hole.

Fun fact, my first time on a mountain to slide on snow was at JH. Freshman year of college my friends invited me to go and with a newfound sense of freedom and student loans, I borrowed all the ragtag gear I could and jumped in a beat up outback for 15 hours. My friends took me up the tram and all but my best mate and his girl took off while I tried to figure out how to strap a snowboard to my boots. I think I got 3 runs in that day.

Needless to say I'm excited to make my triumphant return and rewrite my JH experience.

Le tits now and forever!

^^^^^

Heh, student loans...

I knew a guy back in school that was rapidly failing out but got one student loan deposit before the shit hit the fan. He decided to forego that semester and invest the $1400.
It's 1984, mind you.

He bought an Uzi, and a QP of weed.

So we smoked for weeks. One night he lit up the alley for a few seconds with the Uzi. Cops didn't even show up. Richmond was a tuff town back then.

Ski ya in the spring eSock. Golden tickets then too.

Looks like JHMR is doing the half off lift tickets if you have a pass at another mountain again? But also looks like all of mid-winter is already sold out for that deal, is that right?

Aha, I'd forgotten about that little tidbit. Getting a 50% break at any MC resort if your season pass IS an MC resort.
So discount ticket options are the 50% MC angle above/anytime, or 50% off during Golden Ticket (Wonka) season, or a 25% off buddy pass/anytime.

I'm sure you can figure this out yourself but I just did thanks to Djongo - SB is MC so that's nice. Wife wants to go to JH late March for a bit and that solves the ticket problem for me.

East or Bust (and NBABucks too of course if you are JPN curious) join our JPN trip in late january! Tgapp is going if you can tolerate him. And ZZZ?

lmao, light doses only. I am, going to look a little more tonight.

ftr - only premium and up sb pass gets you mc 50% off. "Snowbasin Premier Pass and Premier Plus Pass Holders will receive 50 percent off day window tickets at all Mountain Collective resorts." (no clue if their computers talk to each other to actually be able to check this)

Sorry for ogdening up this thread. Proceed as usual

Bucks is right, I cheaped out with the blackout pass and have no MC.

JPN with the group sounds rad, but I’m headed to Norway/Lyngen end of March. Let’s ski together more this year.

[Djongo Unchained]
