Would someone mind providing some insights on how the two passes compare the CO resorts? I've had an Epic Local Pass the couple years, but spent most of that time skiing in Tahoe. This past year my wife and I spent several days at Breckenridge. My wife and I really enjoyed the town and we were thinking about going back next year. The Ikon Base Pass is somewhat appealing since we are located outside of DC. Snowshoe is 4.5 hours away, but the drive isn't fun. I wouldn't want to make that drive more than twice in a season. Another (smaller) factor is that I also qualify for one of the Ikon discounts, so the base pass is almost $200 less than the Epic Local Pass.
It looks like I will be in SF for work next January, so we will likely extend that trip and go to Tahoe for several days. We would likely go back to CO for several days so the pass is worth it. My wife really liked the town of Breckenridge. Aspen looks like it could be a viable alternative, but it's also a longer drive. How do WP, Copper, and Steamboat compare to Breck, Keystone, and A-Basin? The other consideration is if we go to Tahoe, having access to three resorts versus one may be a good option, especially if conditions are not optimal.
