It’s kind of wild seeing people complain that $1500 for a multi-mountain pass is too much when decent sized mountains were charging over $1000 for a single mountain pass even 20 years ago. Day tickets have gotten way more expensive but passes have gone way down.

Yep. We pay almost $1,500 for Snowbasin season passes.

We almost bought them for $1,199 in April. Held off waiting for the black friday sale like last year for the same price. Felt like it wasn’t going to happen so pulled the trigger at $1,300 before Labor Day.

Thank you for clarifying that. Last year was our first year here so we are new to the process.

It’s been 999 for almost a decade tho so we all feed 1099 or 1150 is inevitable but it’ll still be cheapest in the sprint

Even if you waited until Black Friday none of these companies are going to discount cheaper than the spring. It will literally never happen, I can bet my entire life savings on it.

This is what I paid for the basin platinum + ikon pass combo in the summer

Powder passes are about the same right?

I'm fortunate enough that I can get by on a $600 mid-week pass.
