No kids passes for $1 and no Snowbasin or Sun Valley. I'm bummed. Price has also gone up by $50.
If you buy it early you get to choose an extra day at one of the resorts. Alta and Snowbird are considered separate so if you buy it now you could get 5 days between those resorts. But it was better when Snowbasin was on it because then you get another two days at a mountain in the area.I was looking at the list and trying to figure out where you could do a 1 week trip for example. Since there are only 2 days/resort.
Not sure this is something I would use really.
The MCP for 2019-20 is moving back towards where it was in the early years. The first kid price was $229. The next season after Whistler and Mammoth were added there was no kid price at all. Then came the $1 early bird promotion and the $99 final price.Yes the $1 kid passes were great but they don't have them this year. I was saying that THIS year the MCP doesn't make sense.
The MCP has always made more sense for people who could make it to at least two locations. Breakeven for a longer trip required 6+ days of skiing when I started using the MCP for a spring break trip to Alta, plus a mid-season trip to a different region based on the MCP.I was looking at the list and trying to figure out where you could do a 1 week trip for example. Since there are only 2 days/resort.
West: Mt. Baker, Mt. Bachelor, Whitefish, Grand Targhee, Powder Mountain, Arapahoe Basin; Sun Peaks and Red Mountain in BC
East: Sugarloaf, Sunday River, Loon, Jay Peak, Killington, Whiteface
Not locations that I would like to add. They are the locations that are part of the survey being sent to 2018-19 MCP holders. The survey asks people to rank those potential location in order of interest. For me, Bachelor, Targhee, and PowMow are of more interest than Whitefish. Partially because flying to SLC works for me. Bachelor as a late, late season trip works for me because I have good friends who live in southern Oregon. Plus I really enjoyed Bachelor last May even though it was really at the tail end of the season.Those are the locations you would like to add? You listed Whitefish and about gave me a heart attack. I thought that was the locations covered by the pass. Whew!
