Either your or my reading comprehension is off. I see 50% off one half day lesson.
Ohh. Well, still, better than a sharp stick in the eye!

Ohh, half day lesson included. That's a nice perk.
I'm sold on getting an A Basin pass. Considering getting Loveland. Gonna ditch Epic for a year. (BIG change for me.)

Or it's 275 if you bought the double down pass in Sept last yearA-Basin just announced their season pass price for $399. That’s what I expected, and it’s $379 for renewals. That sounds right in line with market value.
It says that it's the best mountain/ski area within a hundred miles if they can do away with the sh&tshow crowds.Wow,
just the fact that this decision by A-Basin to sever ties with MTN generated 16 pages of "discussion" here on Pugski.com ... ?
It says something ... !

"The Arapahoe Basin Season Pass, currently on sale for $399, will be the only unlimited season pass product for A-Basin in the 2019-20 season. If you would like to ski 8 or more days at The Basin, this is the only pass that will offer that option."
The post is a helpful PSA. However.....8 or more days?
1) You could ski 10 days this year just by buying two 4+1 packs for $338 at the September Christy Sports Powder Daze.
2) The only reason 8 would be significant is because seven is what you get at partner resorts with Epic or Ikon. Partner opportunities with places like Loveland or Monarch have only ever been 3 days I have ever seen.
Is this a hint that Alterra might be trying to rope A-Basin onto the full Ikon Pass?
At a minimum reading between the lines tells me that pass sales for next year are not going as well as they would hope, and there is concern that the potential for partnerships is keeping people on the sidelines. Best case people were just waiting to see if something with Loveland or Ikon Base would happen. Worst case is that interest in a pass only to A-Basin is not creating the interest they had hoped.
I am confident many Epic Pass holders have little knowledge about the relationship with A-Basin. Many folks I talked with this season believe Vail owns A-Basin. Even further, current Keystone/A-Basin pass holders on a few chair lifts knew about changes to extend the season, but had no clue A-Basin was leaving.My gut, non-scientific thinking is many people are in the wait and see camp or their Epic Local already auto-renewed and they weren't an A Basin target to begin with.
If somebody wanted crowds to return to 2010 levels, this must be sweet sweet music. I agree.But are pass sales slow? Sounds like it. Does that inspire me to get one? Yes.
I doubt Vail is in play at all.Given that Ikon has become #ikont at resorts similar to A-Basin elsewhere, it’s hard to see how that keeps “locals” happy. Big Sky’s GM had to release a letter asking locals to be nice to Ikonts, so it’s hard to think we aren’t comparing frying pans and fire Epic to Ikon.
My guess is that 4+1 will go away since 10>8, although that isn’t really a “pass product” - it’s never on their webpage.
