Anyone been a season pass member at MSA recently? Hard to tell if I am misreading it, but I seem to be able to find a page listing 2019-20 season pass prices (https://mont-sainte-anne.com/en/season-passes-2/) and then of course a page with their 2020-21 prices on it (https://mont-sainte-anne.com/en/alpine-skiing-season-passes/)... unless the 2019-20 was not their real prices it would seem like it is a 150% price increase?! I feel like I must be missing something, so what do people think who have been MSA pass members in the past? I know prices are likely to climb next year, but 150% increase is extreme, so surely I am misreading something.

Well, just to get the terminology straight it's a 50% increase - actually it's a 63% increase ($683 this season vs. $419 last). And it doesn't seem all that extreme in absolute dollars, but it is a big increase. Perhaps they're anticipating that they need to make up revenue lost in food/drink, and are raising ticket/pass prices - and are assuming competitors will follow suit?

Apologies, you are absolutely right, my terminology isn't clear. The increase percentages are all over the map though, and the pass that was $419 last season (individual 18-64) is actually $1386 this season! The $683 pass is for kids.

The increase that I was most surprised with was the 3-person family rate that went from $749 to $2855!!!

Holy cow... I just saw the "starting at" $683 price and didn't realize I could click further. That is a huge increase. I wonder if those are just place holders and they don't really have things worked out yet.

So it is possible that that page for 2020-21 is incorrect and shouldn't be posted... I wrote to ask them about season pass prices and they responded:
Hi!​
We don't have our prices for next season. Usually ou pre-sale begins mid-Septebmer.​
Thanks and have a good day!​
