Multi-resort passes for 2022-23: Ikon, Epic, Indy etc.

[skibum4ever]

I'm still waffling. Had a Dexascan last Friday but don't have results yet. I called my PCP today and begged her to review and post my results.. It's 7 pm so I guess I will have to decide without knowing.

I can buy a pass today and defer it to the following season if necessary. Or...I can wait for the results and pay an extra $100 (or $150 if I lose the renewal discount - not sure!) And even with decent results I may not be strong enough to ski next winter, though I am working hard on therapy. Or I can just give up on the next ski season!!! You know how I feel about that!

I guess I have a few hours to decide...

Is anyone buying the iKon injury insurance?

I think I answered my question about waffling. I'm going to buy a pass tonight.

i bought the Spot insurance but not the injury coverage.

 

[skibum4ever]

Since I have so far paid zero for my two surgeries, I think I will pass on the injury insurance as well.

Well, I let the Ikon deadline go by. Can't decide what to do, not likely to be able to make either Diva East or Diva West, since the end of the month is in the middle of the week (and missing those next season will kill me, especially Taos), and I'm just grumpy about having to decide anything this early (as I am every year), so inertia set in. If we do renew, it's only a $50 discount I'm missing out on. And there's the chance we'll be travelling overseas next fall, so I guess I can save my money for that, and ski more locally. But it's boring here in Michigan, so we'll see.

I have heard unconfirmed rumors that the price of the Ikon pass may not have gone up today. Checking out and signing up for Affirm last night took me 45 minutes. Apparently the web sites were slammed.

The April 22 deadline was for the renewal discounts.

Pre-pandemic, the price for Ikon passes went up in mid-April for the first two seasons Ikon existed. The shutdown of the ski industry in March 2020 changed the situation. Could be that there won't be a price increase for Ikon until the fall.

I'm in NYC and bought the Ikon Base and Epic Local!

Let me know if you’re ever looking to share a ride next season!

 

[yogiskier]

Are you in NYC? I'm in Brooklyn and always looking for people to carpool with. It's a struggle!

@teppaz No, not NYC, but I recently moved from Boston to Bergen Co, NJ. In my search it looked like at least one NYC club has bus trips that depart from Manhattan with a second stop on Rte 17 on its way to VT.

@teppaz and @Ttm207 - Where do you ski?

The last couple of seasons mostly at Okemo (have been doing a 1/2 share in Ludlow) and a day or two at Hunter, but now that I have Ikon, also plan to ski Kton/Pico and Windham, possibly Stratton. Maybe we can coordinate some trips next season!

Yes, that would be fun!

Since I don't live in any of the regions where an Epic pass would make sense as a "season pass" for a local mountain, the number of options has been confusing to try to understand from a curiosity standpoint. Found this summary of all Epic options that makes the "local" options clearer. The history of Epic as a pass for people who ski Colorado or Tahoe is pretty obvious. The website is for Australians interested in help setting up ski vacations to other continents. I've come across several ski travel websites that are outlets for buying an Epic pass.

We renewed our Ikon passes for next season, and I just bought our season passes for Middlebury Snow Bowl. We'll be moving in the autumn, so I think we're pretty well set for ski season.

Wow, your house will be done by then? Yay!

Nice! I think I might have access to the Snow Bowl through Unlikely Riders. I heard it was quiet even on a powder day, which is awesome. Would love to check it out with you next season.

The prices for Ikon passes went up after the April 22 deadline for the renewal discount. For adults, now $1179 Full Ikon, $1069 Ikon Base Plus, $869 Base, $449 4-day Session. Base Plus is the only way to get 5 days at Partners such as Alta (as Alta/Snowbird combo), Aspen/Snowmass, and Jackson Hole.

Ikon prices are likely to go up again in the fall, usually in mid-October.

Absolutely!! It’s a date!

 

[marzNC]

The deadline for the lowest price for the Mountain Collective Pass (MCP) and bonus day at one pre-selection resort must be fast approaching. Might be before Memorial Day weekend. The price has gone up $20 in the past.

Ski Cooper released its 2022-23 partner list this week, unveiling 11 new partners and 59 total. The terms mirror last year’s: passholders will receive three days at each partner resort. Only Diamond Peak (which offers four free days) and Brundage have blackouts. Passholders at these partner resorts receive, in turn, three no-blackout days at Ski Cooper. Six 2021-22 partners, including the three Vail resorts, dropped out of the coalition. The mountain will release prices in early June.

The new partners are Bear Creek, Blue Knob, and Mount Pleasant of Edinboro in Pennsylvania; Beech Mountain, North Carolina; Saddleback, Maine; Whitecap Mountains, Wisconsin; Snowstar, Illinois; Terry Peak, South Dakota; White Pine, Wyoming; Mt. Shasta Ski Park, California; and Mt. Spokane, Washington.
