Ikon Pass

[Ottime]

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing.

I paid $799 a year ago after the $200 off for early closure to cover their $999 total price.

Well the $999 hasn't gone up, but they're only giving me the $799 deferral credit + $100 off for renewal so asking for $100 payment, not quite the roll it over to next year I'd been led to believe.

It was all written out. You would receive a credit based on what you paid. Not a pass for a pass. It was not even hidden in fine print but in the explanation what “Assurance” was.

Maybe you believed otherwise but only because you didn’t read. No one led you there.

Vail offered a pass deferral but only if you were unable to book the five days of peak season you wanted by some date in early December. We prefer taking a chance with ikon knowing we would not lose any money if we decided not to ski. But we ended up skiing and took advantage of a cheaper pass year.

Now epic is offering the cheaper pass year to everyone, so likely will be back at kirkwood.

Yes, they were really clear about that. It's actually an unexpected bonus that they're allowing spring skiing '21 with the rolled over to 21/22 pass (and it wasn't fully expected that they'd honor renewal prices after skipping a year). Alas, we had to pay hundreds extra to roll over because the kid just became a teenager. Oh, and echoing that ordering the new passes was really quick and easy.

I think you are overlooking the controlling authority here, to wit: the rule in Shelley's case.

Schweitzer anyone?

[glademaster]

At $999 for a Schweitzer+Ikon Base pass, the cost of our season passes here is looking like a a pretty damn solid deal.

[altasnob]

Ikon now unequivocally reigns supreme over the PNW. With the border closed Seattle area skiers gravitated towards Crystal/Ikon. Assuming the border is open for 21/22 season, and Vail/Epic offering a discount, I thought the pull of Stevens/Whistler would persuade some to go that route. But now with Crystal/Alpental/Schweitzer/Red/Bachelor all on Ikon, Ikon will sell another 50,000 passes in Seattle.

[glademaster]

I have my doubts about the border being open this coming winter, as do the two operations I have trips booked with in BC, FWIW.

Have to admit that this spurred my purchase today.
Although I have the feeling that date will be extended.
I was on the fence about full vs base.
Said fuck this and went full. $250 extra now. More fun later.

Why can't Summit give us a similar $200 add on. Especially with Crystal blackouts on the Base Ikon now. They would sell a ton, 6 to my family alone.

That’s what I’m doing. Extra days at ABasin plus Aspen/JH.

Definitely. Will be interesting to see if Schweitzer gets the same experience as Crystal.

Is there any population center near Schweitzer?

Is there any population center near Schweitzer?

Just an alarming population of neo-Nazis and preppers.

[phatty]

Is there any population center near Schweitzer?

Spokane is ~90 minutes away. Coeur d'Alene is an hour. Neither are huge but both are growing.

[TAFKALVS]

Yes, this. Lots of them. I would avoid the area at all costs.

I looked around the Ikon website to try to find that info -- didn't see anything. If you find it, please post a link here - we're going to Mammoth too. I'll bring a printout of the 21/22 pass purchase, and the existing Ikon pass cards, and see what happens at the ticket window.

You can get pass at the Mill/chair 2 at Mammoth if they have a previous picture of you for printing pass - they don't have a camera. They give you a 20-21 pass so you don't need to go back every day. Bring ID and email from pass purchase helps. If you don't have a picture from previous Ikon pass, you will need to upload one or take long walk to Main Lodge. My wife and I already used ours 4 days last week (Tues/Wed@Mammoth - not Spring, all worthwhile lifts closed by noon on Tues due to wind/less wind + some new snow and chairs 3, 5, 12 and rode 22 on Wed, plus Thu/Fri for Spring conditions at Alpine/Squaw). Hope to get another 3-4 days on it this season.

Well I have a close friend that lives about 45 minutes away, and she seems cool enough. Think I'm going next year. Free lodging and a short drive. I'm aryan, so should be fine.

Spokane has a population, but it is no Seattle. Can't imagine it will go the way of Crustal.

Thanks for the info.

Good news (for me anyway), but if you made the same unfortunate decisions I did, you'll be interested too. I deferred and then renewed before the deferral credit arrived so I could ski at A-basin last week. They weren't honoring next season's passes for this spring so I ended up buying a F&F day pass. Then I heard about the deferral credit not being applicable for the renewal I purchased. Here's the good news tho: because I didn't technically scan the 21/22 pass I bought, they were able to refund me and I can use the deferral credit to get a pass. Otherwise, there's really nothing you can do with the credit except buy 4-packs and try to resell them or something. Oh, and you have to use the credit now. You can't hold it over to buy your 22/23 pass. If you made the same poor choices as me, I hope that helps!

I bet you try to do your own taxes too.

I guess you didnt see that warning on the website. It wasn't hidden.
