Another nice dump. If I cant ski it, I'm ready for it to melt.

Anyone heard when/if Snowbowl will be selling next season’s passes? Can’t see anything on the website ...

Going to be a week of constantly viewing the Peaks from my house every time I go outside. Gorgeous and compelling to say the least.

 

[Core2]

They usually start selling passes mid April. I wonder if they will do anything for us since this season sucked for multiple reasons. I'm fine if they don't but throwing a bone to pass holders is probably a good way to maintain some loyalty.

My view: substitute "Poo" for "Gorgeous" and "double poo" for "compelling" in the last sentence.

AZ opened most of the forest roads on Thursday. I can't ski but I can hike my spots now. Man, the snow on the peaks looks as good as I've ever seen it in April. At least I found some antlers.

 

[RobSN]

I know - I can see the peaks standing on my raised beds. @kimberlin is higher and would be able to see right from about where she lives, I’d imagine. Either way, the frustration is pretty significant ...

Live on the Aggasiz webcam - they are pulling chairs off in preparation for the new lift. Bittersweet!

 

[Core2]

Nice to see the new lift is still in the plans for this summer. I take back above comments about them giving pass holders anything.

 

[RobSN]

Snowbowl has posted its pass prices, with extra goodies if one buys by 5/27, and 1% back as a credit for 2021/22 for every day less than 100 that Snowbowl is open - I think that that is a relatively fair deal frankly for a business ...

Hoping for a great season! I purchased the Power Pass for a few reasons: Support Snowbowl. Other resorts with unlimited access that I WILL be skiing this year. Perks I did not receive last year with only a Weekday Pass.

 

[Core2]

Easy to get value out of the unlimited if you take a trip or two out of state. It is always worth it for me.

Long weekend to Purgatory is a no-brainer.

For us retired types, substitute "weekdays" for "weekend" ...

Being that I am now "semi-retired" ... I have been debating buying a season pass... Looking at the IKON and Epic options... Epic with vet discount, $560 vs Power Pass at $700 - for that reason, I had been disregarding the Power Pass. Obviously, the Epic entails travel and costs associated, but in my mind, one week-long trip to a destination area (annual goal) would easily make it worthwhile... On the other hand, Power Pass gives the local option, hmmm....
But looking at the Power Pass pricing again this morning, I apparently overlooked the old fart price! Happy Birthday me! $475 makes it a bit more attractive.

(EDIT - I actually found a note I made in March that showed the Power Pass Senior at $799. Seems they have sweetened the early bird discount substantially!!!)

There appears to be encouraging excavation activity at the base of Agassiz this morning. A good sign on Monday morning.

 

[Apicem-AZ]

Or that was more likely just the hopeful remnants of the 2019-2020 season being buried.

 

[Core2]

I like the new 12 day Power Pass Select option though the savings are a little too small for me to opt out of the full pass. I wonder if this is direct to lift or if you have to cash in vouchers for each day?

 

[Core2]

Looks like they are about to start dismantling the lower Agassiz terminal.
