Have you learned nothing about this place in your 3000 posts?

No

Chup beat me to it.
And his placement is wayyyyy better.

But yeah. Let’s make this trending

I’m told (have not seen it myself….) I’m now on garbage cans at Alterra resorts.

Was at REI (Issaquah, WA) and you can buy the Ikon there now. You even earn your full 10% dividend on the purchase. Pretty sweet if you are an REI member. Not sure if it will be in place next year for renewals, if you can use your dividend towards purchase or if under return policy. If I buy again and it doesn't impact renewal discounts, would definitely buy there.

Which way are Ikon pass sales trending this year? Will inflation, gas prices, economic uncertainty and being locked up from Rona result in lower sales?

I forget who here suggested removing the "Y", but thanks to you, our trailer toilet is now #ikonic.

IMO, the best thing IKON could have done is take the idiotic word "yew" and turn it into their punchline. Hopefully people will stop using it now.

No idea why people feel some need to have a catchphrase for their stoke. Profanity and screams are good enough for me. If I ever find myself needing to make myself more unique by introducing slogans to my excitement skiing, I've missed the point of skiing - which actually starts to make more sense as it concerns IKON.

We got our passes in the mail today!

I was just checking this thread to see if anyone had mentioned getting or not getting their pass yet. I bought a four day session pass for this season and haven't received it yet. Curious if most people have gotten theirs by now.

Two four packs in our household both arrived about 2 weeks ago

[mookieman]

Pass printed last week... hoping I don't have to pick it up on opening weekend in Mammoth, as I'm guessing it'll be a shitshow.

I think demand will stay high for the Ikon pass, until a recession really clamps down on spending. I don't think we're at that point yet.

My pass was mailed, got it ~1 month ago

[oftpiste]

got mine, tho it was a weekday local that included parking. No mention of the parking in the pass materials received.

[mmmm...pow!]

Got a postcard in the mail regarding class action lawsuit due to covid closure in 2020. My initial reaction is fuck those lawyers. Everything was shut down, we weren't even supposed to be leaving our houses then (yeah, sounds crazy now), so some entitled douches think they deserve money because they couldn't ski for a few weeks? But, free money is free money, and opting out just means more for everyone else (of course, the lawyers cut remains the same). Thoughts?

Looks like I used 9 days on the 19/20 pass, so don't think I get anything. They reduce compensation depending on usage.

Me, I'm akin to yelling out, "hold my d*ck!" as I blissfully slay untracked snow under the lift.

Opt in. Fuck everyone (except you fine maggots) and ski corps. I want in on this. I used my pass a few times in '20, but had to buy additional days at a certain Wyoming resort because there weren't any reservation spots that day.

I got in about 30 days that season--couldn't start skiing until January because I had heart surgery in October, got in a lot of groomer days in dry January and February. So I wouldn't qualify, and even if I did, no amount of money could make up for the all the lost powder days, because the lifts shut at Palisades exactly when it started dumping. A powder day not skied is gone forever.

You might get lucky and get a check for $1.63.

More likely a voucher for a hot chocolate.

But the lawyers will make bank.

You got four skis? All I got was a single cupped RMU Apostle.

More like 3.5… the Brahmas are pretty beat up. Great no-snow rock skis, though!

Oh... I get it now.

No coasters, but once years ago we got the world's shittiest hat.

After seeing the pics of the ridiculous crowds at Solitude this morning, I just don't see how these passes will be sustainable at the resorts that offer unlimited skiing. The Ikon is such a no brainer in the current configuration if you live in Utah. That means Solitude has 10+x the number of Season Pass holders they had previously.

While I know it's the first day and first resort in Utah open, limited terrain, blah blah blah. There's just no way that shoveling the numbers they are into a limited number of resorts can never make a great "guest experience".
