Ikon Pass Details Are Out

[Wilhelmson]

I got the same email. And I checked quickly for the month of March- that price seems to be good for the entire season. Great deal if you can commit to specific dates.

This shows the benefit of being associated with an organization with 100,000s targeted email addresses.

Got my pass today in the snail mail. But I got an email today from Ikon that tickets will be limited at DV. You should reserve ahead. Never been there, but found that interesting.

@Started at 53 will love that... anyone know if they've upped the quota with the advent of Ikon?

That's interesting. I haven't gotten that email. And I'm likely to get there in early March. I'll have to remember to do that. Did Ikon happen mention how that was to be accomplished?

AFAIK Deer Valley has always had a daily skier limit so if you can reserve in advance, then this sounds like a good thing to me.

I got my Ikon Pass in the mail yesterday in spite of the rotating Canadian Postal strike. The package included stickers, iron on patch, and a map with little stickers for marking which Ikon resorts visited. I also got the lanyard.

Maybe discussed but I don't have time to go through 41 pages of posts...

Any idea why the ikon pass looks exactly like epic... ? Even the blue and gold? Had to be on purpose, right? Seems very strange...

Does anyone have a list of which resorts have straight to the lift capability with the pass? I understand you need a lift ticket at Killington.

haha, The guy at Loon said as far as he knows the only place in the northeast that can scan is Killington.

I purchased one at the Boston Ski Expo and received my pass within 6 days of uploading my photo. They were selling them at a $50 discount at the event.

I also won a one day Jackson Hole lift pass at their booth!

Ikon pass failed at Brighton , powder day , lost 45 minutes of shredding waiting on a day pass. it sucked

Didn't hear of any problems with the Ikon passes. The Montengard was another story.

Saw something semi-genius today at Squaw. We were booting up at Dave's and this guy was looking for a spot to hide his Icon pass. When he ordered it online, he uploaded a photo of George Costanza as his photo. He said he's on day 3 skiing today. On days 1 and 2, as he skied through the scanner, he moved away quickly as the scanner people would yet towards him - "not cool!" and "hey, wait up!".

So he went to the counter this morning to get a new photo, but for some reason, the let him keep the George Costanza pass. So he was looking for a spot to hide it, so he didn't get double-badge issues at the scanner. It was still there when we left midday at 12:30. Hopefully, it was still there when he finished. He just wanted it as a keepsake.

He said the guy at the counter said to him - "Isn't this that guy from that show?" Said the guy was 19 or 20, probably had barely ever seen Seinfeld.

My Ikon Pass worked flawlessly at Brighton on Friday Nov 30th, powder day, and at Solitude today. I am glad they have worked out the bugs!

$2.10 coffee at Stratton with the discount. Pretty good deal. It was starbucks btw.

 

[Seldomski]

Sun and Ski email promotion yielded $50 off the base pass price. Missed the earlier deadlines because our ski trips were uncertain until recently... With promotion, pass price is <5 days advanced purchase lift tickets at Aspen. To be determined if the pass will actually save me $$ on lifts this season...

, too bad it wasn't coffee!

I know some people that call themselves "wine snobs". I also know some people that have a similar attitude toward coffee and they call themselves "connoisseurs".

Not moi! Neither a roaster nor a grinder am I, and I use a $10 mostly plastic coffee maker at home. But I do buy a good quality ground coffee, not the greasy burnt crap that *$ passes off on its customers by overloading it with nonsense flavorings.
