The MCP is definitely not for those who would find it difficult to ski at two or more of the MCP destinations. Although the changes in Utah seemed designed to encourage people to think about a 1-week ski vacation that would include 2 days at Alta, 2 days at Snowbird, and 2 days at Snowbasin. For those who can make a decision early on, possible to add a 7th day by choosing one of the Utah destinations for the bonus third day.
For someone who wants to spend a week at a bucket list destination, there are situations where the MCP still makes sense given the 50% discount after the included 2-3 days. For instance, if someone can plan a ski vacation that involves flying plus can make it to one destination for a weekend. Thinking about a weekend at Mammoth for someone in SoCal or Sugarbush for someone in the northeast.
So, I'm just reading this, and getting this for the first time. Price is $469, it would have been lovely if I knew last spring which I know now, which is I've manage to book us in for two weeks at the Cliff Club over Christmas, which makes the it very attractive considering we have two weeks, plus we'll do a third week, probably at Squaw, and perhaps a bit of Mammoth... $69 less, and an extra free day would have been like winning the lottery, but like this it's still good. Especially obstensibly 4 days at Alta/Snowbird, plus the 2 at Snowbasin...
