@nay I'm not sure if we know if there is a change in A-basin's spring pass products, yet. They are typically not announced and don't go on sale until much later. The timing has been all over the board, as early as the last week of March and as late as early May, from my recollection, but never this early.
I'm a repeat consumer of the "buy next year and get the rest of this year free" and hoping to do the same this year. We'll see.
Hopes dashed, second bullet. But you are right about the spring pass, it might be too early to have called that one.
