Big Sky was on in 2018 and it's still the only Boyne Resort on MC. While Sun Valley/Snowbasin may not be interesting to you, they were a big loss for me and many others, especially Epikon buying types. More importantly they are a litmus test for MC. They are well known, independent resorts that did not get bought by Vail/Alterra and chose to leave MC and go Epic. They seem to be showing that the economics of MC do not match what they can get from Epic. That may be skier numbers or vacationing skiers. Whatever it was, the jump was a clear sign that they saw Epic as a better deal for them.
I want MC to survive. I like the lower price point option and don't need unlimited days at any of the resorts on Epikon. Based on what I'm seeing, I'm not sure how long it (and Liftopia) can survive. I'm sure the parent company has lost a ton of business on daily passes with the advent of the super passes.
