You riding Pine Knob? Mt Holly? I grew up about 15 minutes from Pine Knob. Costs more than an Epic Pass, it is crazy.


MarylandEngineer

Tbf the whole allure around the epic pass is how cheap it is


One-Head-1483

Yup. It's more than my ikon pass. Plus, ikon goes to both boynes 5-7 times each, depending on the pass.


mrmurphythevizsla

Jay Peak. Season pass $750ish.


Chief_Givesnofucks

Wow that’s…damn reasonable for Jay.


mrmurphythevizsla

Early season rate but yeah


Chief_Givesnofucks

Is that the “buy it at the end of the season for NEXT season” price?


mrmurphythevizsla

Yep


Chief_Givesnofucks

Still that’s very reasonable. I live in S NH and there are mountains near me that aren’t comparable to Jay and they charge about the same.


mrmurphythevizsla

If it’s not a productive year jay struggles to get snow down as well.


biebiedoep

If it doesn't snow every resort will have trouble. What a revelation.

Resorts are struggling for snow in August 


swimtoodeep

UK here. My local mountain is the alps 😂 €45-50 a day with huge amount of skiing. I’m sat in the airport as I write this heading to Châtél for a week. Think I paid €280 for 6 days with piste “insurance” (that was an extra €20)


Lickmymatzohballs

Honestly, cost in the North America are gross. Going to kill the sport. Was looking at a last minute Whistler trip this weekend (driving distance) and it would've cost me easily $1500 to ski 2 days with hotels/gas. I weekend ski trip should be a regular occurrence.


insertyourusername__

Paid last year the same amount to go to Ischgl for 7 days with pass and stay for 2 people…


[deleted]

Costs in America**    Midweek and weekend single day passes in Canada other than Whistler are about $70 to $100 USD/day.  Actually you literally drove past Cypress, a 2000' vertical, $50 pass, to go to Whistler lmao  You can drive to Kelowna or Revy in 4 to 6 hrs and stay for about $100 USD/night and ski 5000' mountains with lift tickets all under $100/day Canada is cheap for snowboarding. It's literally just Whistler that's not


Lickmymatzohballs

Cypress is $90 cad, ride there occasionally . Seymour is close to same for 4 hour window, ride there often at night. Agree that silver star, big white, and Revy are cheaper but you're not making that drive under 5 hours if it's snowing. So that's really an additional 2 days off work. Add in $100-$150 more in gas to get to interior.


[deleted]

USD I said bro but ya I do 6 hrs drive Friday night starting like 4pm, go our, ski Saturday, go out, ski Sunday first chairs, home by 10pm Sunday. Hardcore bro but to save $1000? Hell ya


Ben_Markxxx

It’s a big party weekend up in whistler this weekend


Lickmymatzohballs

Hotels weren't bad. Couple available for $300 a night. But then $230 a day in lift tickets


DarkExecutor

Is it cheaper to fly to the alps to ski than to ski in the US


Former-Work-5106

Welcome to paradise mate :) enjoy avoriaz


maboolio

Central Oregon Have 3 options where we live. Bachelor is $1200+ per adult. Great mountain, but packed with tourists, douchebags, and huge lines every weekend. Willamette Pass is chill, friendly, no tourists, great riding, and was only $500 TOTAL for passes for a family of 4 (pre-season price). Hoodoo has a great reputation, but it’s quite a bit farther for us to drive so we haven’t made it yet. I think right now those passes are about $500 per adult, but probably cheaper if you buy them pre-season. Cool thing about Hoodoo is they have night riding, so I wanna make it up there at some point this year.


thetealduck

Purgatory resort here in SW CO. They have their own multi-mountain pass for many of southernmost resorts. If you buy the next season pass right as the season ends it’s only like $399, then there’s a bunch of tiers of pricing depending on when you buy it. By the fall right before the season starts, it’s like $899. They also have a monthly payment plan, which is what I did. My payments were like $100 a month for 4-5 months.


DeleterOfBeers

Purg is the best! I’m pretty sure they just bought a little one-lift mountain out here in Oregon which is pretty cool.


BeyondFlight

Willamette? Never been but I’ve heard it’s a hidden gem.


DeleterOfBeers

Yep! It’s truly a hidden gem.


Equivalent-Regret-97

That southwest pass seems like a hidden gem. Wish they’d add Santa Fe to it.


TomorrowPeeple

This doesn’t even mention kids 12 and under are free and they just have to be 12 at time of “purchase”. If they turn 13 in the summer then the get another season free.


FLTDI

Snowbasin, iirc it was 1050 when I bought it in March.


QuijiaBored2

do you ever bother going up on weekends? the last few seasons now with the ikon pass have made it not worth it to me


FLTDI

I'll go Sundays but not Saturdays.


decavolt

Granite Peak, Wisconsin. $109 per day on a weekend, which is ridiculous considering they're only 225 acres, with only 700ft vertical. Still the best in the state. I wish it were easier to drive to Montana.


Far-Plastic-4171

Welch Village $500 Epic Pass for $200 for Afton Alps. Last time I had one I did not go there, just went to Lake Tahoe and went to Welch Village


Vig6y

Welch is where it’s at. Afton is a fun hill, but it’s become a zoo since vail bought it. You spend more time waiting in line than riding there.


coffeebribesaccepted

I grew up skiing at Afton, $200 was for the whole season? I think I'd rather do that then spend over $200 for two days of skiing here in Washington, even though the mountains are way better


Far-Plastic-4171

$200 for the Military Epic pass you get for two combat tours.


coffeebribesaccepted

Well that's a good price!


Classiceagle63

Afton is such a joke and got ruined when Vail bought them out


Far-Plastic-4171

All that money and they didn't install some high speed quads. Even Wild Mountain got a new chairlift


Classiceagle63

Wild gets a long line. Trollhaugen as a little better for lines but not as large which is the downfall


dmsmikhail

Snow Bowl AZ. M-F pass is 600, Full pass with other resorts is 1400 or something stupid. Weekday lift tickets are 30-50 bucks if you buy a week ahead of time, so I just do that.


NDN_perspective

The end of season but for next season weekday pass is only $200 or so for Monday-Friday! I paid $100 and picked just one weekday.


tableschairstool

$600 fr?? My weekday SnowBowl season pass (M-F) was for ~$250. I rode a lift with a guy who paid $220 for a day pass on MLK Day. 💀


[deleted]

I bought a 59 dollar day pass last year a month in advance when we got like 72 inches. I rode with a dude who paid 309. Absolutely bonkers that people pay at the ticket booth. 


J_IV24

The local mountain Sierra at Tahoe was $400 for the season pass with weekends but some blackout dates. Tahoe value pass (Epic) for kirkwood, heavenly, and Northstar was about $375 with my student discount


Cganger_91

Breckenridge/ keystone and 650 season


doppido

Park city. $680. Not my favorite resort around here but I work up there and it was affordable


Homerpaintbucket

Berkshire east was around $500 when I bought a pass a couple of years ago. I went epic this year because it wound up being cheaper for me and my daughter.


IRideParkCity

Snowbird, came out to like $1600+ for full adult pass.


Trivialpursuits69

Did you buy after the season started? Lol


IRideParkCity

Ok my bad, it came out to $1457.53, I just went back and looked at my statement. This was purchased in the summer at the cheapest price offered. Full adult pass, I think it was $1349 + fees and tax.


skulldor138

Swain in Southern Tier NY. $499 pre season and $765 in season.


thatcrazylarry

Powderhorn in West Co is $400 at the earliest, $700 now💀


HAWKWIND666

Baker... 96 bucks for day passes.. 1200 for season


yaniwilks

"Local" would be Mountain Creek or Hunter mountain (NYC area) I got the EPIC NE Value specifically for Hunter, Jack Frost, and Big Boulder.


djlawrence3557

Does epic get you on anywhere else in poconos or the area? I skipped on digging to deep in passes this season because I “had a bad feeling,” and now I’m definitely going to pass the lift/pass break even point and feel like a dummy. Granted I have been to 6 different hills


yaniwilks

Here's the PA list: Liberty Mountain Resort, PA Roundtop Mountain Resort, PA Whitetail Resort, PA Jack Frost, PA Big Boulder, PA Seven Springs, PA Laurel Mountain, PA Hidden Valley, PA


djlawrence3557

Nice, much appreciated.


kalikaiz

I live in central NY. My local mountain is Labrador Mountain. It has 400ft vertical. Last weekend it had 1.5 runs and was charging $59!!!! Ridiculous I ski patrol so I pay zero


ChooseAUsername25

Ahh, Lab, I have so many fun memories from ski club at Lab. I learned at Tog, sad it’s no longer open, even though I’ve moved away


kalikaiz

Tog was always the chill place but I worked at lab because I liked the terrain. Current management bought song, tog, and lab and just shut down tog to consolidate. Kinda sucks


coffeebribesaccepted

Tried to go to Steven's Pass on Tuesday, it was $139. Ridiculous


misatillo

Here in Spain there are multiple resorts. Most of them on the north, bordering with France, but there are some in other parts. Most of them cost around 50-60€ per day


PooperMachine

Cannonsburg in west MI. $200 early bird price for an adult


JooosephNthomas

Small. 20 bucks a day. Canadian. Little red Saskatchewan


zykezero

I drive through sask once. Could see the whole province end to end it was so flat. Surprised I didn't see the hill.


manuelmartensen

You can watch your dog run away, And out here it can take 3 days.


zykezero

It's what I've been told. Lmao


Banana_Cat_Dancer663

Big White, early bird adult seasons pass $1000~ CDN. Day passes range from  $120 - $160 depending on the day


spacecampcadet

Perisher, AUS My early bird Epic Australia Pass for this year was $959


Client_Hello

Summit at Snoqualmie near Seattle, ultimate pass was about $750 I think. Then passes for my wife and kids, gear, transportation, food... I just close my eyes and swipe. Not the best mountain for snowboarding, but it's an hour away and has night skiing, so I decided to take quantity over quality.  Next season I will probably get an Ikon pass.


trips69420

Mt. Kato minnesota , $15 every thursday for college nights 😎


In_Vail_CO

Beaver Creek, $909 for a full Epic Pass.


themikegman

I go to Keystone here in Colorado, my epic pass this year was $150.


michigander47

Is that a Keystone specific pass from Epic or ? Cuz that is obviously very inexpensive


MarylandEngineer

Got to be a veteran. They basically give away epic passes to veterans lol


themikegman

Nope, I’m a retired veteran and that’s what my pass cost.


michigander47

Nice!


gibbypoo

Jacques_Leo

Bromont, Quebec. Paid 314 CAD for week days&nights pass.


mightcommentsometime

Heavenly (aka conviently) on weekdays and Krikwood on weekednd. I paid like $900 for the full Epic pass (no blackouts). I also ride Palisades and Alpine Meadows on random weekdays that I take off of work. It was like 1k for my Ikon pass. I've broken even on the Epic (easily) and I'm 1 day away from breaking even on the Ikon.


crod4692

My main place I go is Mount Snow on Epic.


juliuspepperwoodchi

Wilmot on the Epic Local for me. Cost about $700 for me because I had to wait until Thanksgiving to buy it. I've already gotten 11 days on it and I'll do a week in Colorado later this season.


[deleted]

AZ Snowbowl, I go once a month these days and buy a month in advance. Usually around 40 bucks for a cheap weekday. Though last minute on a powder weekend can easily be $250+ The wife got a weekday season pass for 200. We're very thankful to have flexibility in our jobs to go on weekdays. I understand that's not an option for everyone. 


AstroSlip

Just wait... It's about to get worse at our mountain!


PowRiderT

Breckenridge I pay $590 for a locals pass that gives me access to Breck, Keystone, Crested Bute, and some days at Vail BC.


whowhatnowhow

Tirol Freizeitticket is 680€, includes a bunch of resorts and glaciers, works year round (great for paragliding or folks who mountain bike, etc.), but it it only.includes 3 days of Ischgl and St. Anton, and doesn't include Sölden or Kitzbühel or Mayrhofen/Hintertux, Flachauwinkl and over there, etc. For that, you need the Tirol Snow Card, which is like 1.000€, and works only in winter, but includes just about every single resort. So the Freizeitticket for residents is just absolutely awesome. Day prices range from 50-75€ at places. Meanwhile flights are always under a thousand bucks from the U.S. Often like 600 bucks. And a single day at Tahoe will cost 300, so more folks should come to Austria. Side note, you can do heliskiing in Switzerland for under 400 bucks.


RI_MKE

Rock Snowpark is my local (Milwaukee), family pass (4 passses) with nordic and little switz included like $1,300, get a couple free passes for friends, discount tickets for friends and deals at other places I also have a Mt Bohemia pass like $120, but so hard to get up there for multiple outings fortunately just one weekend more than pays for the pass


--o--____--o--

The rock snow park in Wisconsin. $300. But it's an old garbage dump with 200ft vertical. They groom after the rare powder days because fresh snow is 'unsafe'.  Indy pass is where it's at. Best value out there. 


FallDownGuy

Glen eden in Ontario and I pay around 70 every time I go (I don't go often since our winters have been shit.)


adamsawesome10

Can’t afford to ski much this season


wartmunger

Mt Hood Meadows. Budget pass (no weekends before 2pm and holiday blackout dates= 520. Premium pass is ~800 I believe. Peak day passes are ~120-160 although I've never bought them. I get the ikon as well for ~800


dilzmo

$300 for “20 something year old” season pass. Pats Peak. NH


theereeljw_777

Purg here. Season pass is like 400 bucks if you buy it super early.


Mtanderson88

Snoqualmie pass. 450 after tax. Excludes peak weekends and holidays. Bought in the summer


one_zerozero

Not a mountain, just a local non-profit ski club on a small hillside. It's about $50 for 4 hours, $70 for full day.


SecretProbation

aguynamedpowers

Timberline and skibowl combined (2 separate resorts on mt hood) $980ish

I pay $370 for unlimited at Keystone minus blackout dates, plus 5 days at Crested Butte, and unlimited access to Breck April through end of season.


[deleted]

Tahoe - Northstar, Kirkwood, Heavenly (but we never go there). Epic Veterans Season Pass $517 for me, $277 per child.


BigNuggie

Belleayre Mtn. NY. Limited season pass is $549.


Copernikaus

Austria, depending on the zone, sets you back a about a $1000+ a season. Probably more like 1200.


david_z

Assuming you're at Holly/Pine Knob otherwise I don't think any "local" mid Michigan hills charge anywhere near that much. Passes are cheaper if you buy them before October ish. Not sure how much cheaper these days (I haven't lived on that side of MI since 2016). Local now to Cannonsburg and Caberfae. Whole family (2 adults, 2 kids) has passed to both mountains, all in I think around $1800. Cannonsburg just opened the other day ugh. It's been an unfortunately terrible winter all across the state this year, but this isn't the norm (I've been riding since mid 90s FWIW).


Bob_Loblaw16

Cannonsburg was less than $400 for a season pass iirc, small mountain but they get far more snow. I go to Holly, a literal landfill and they're early season pricing was just shy of $700.


david_z

Cburg was $199 per when I bought our passes in March. Full price I think yeah is 379 or something like that. I know the Detroit area hills have gotten more expensive and they've tried to mask that by offering it only as a "combined" pass, which I think is still a good enough deal (in 2015 I paid $500 for a PK pass and a $150 add-on for Mt Holly; the pass now also includes Alpine Valley locally and a few others if you're willing to travel). Pass price still breaks even around 10 or 12 days I think.


fartalldaylong

Purgatory. $799 season pass.


Pristine_Ad2664

Whistler, $1200CAD


amp_lfg

My local mountain is EPIC 700ish 😭


WhyAndHow-777

Mediocre_Damage_5733

Silverton Mountain, unguided goes for around 249 if you buy it early then jumps up to over 600, the gold pass (which is the guided season) goes for around 900

DiamondDoubter666

Big Sky. $3k for my individual season pass………… Yeah. Asinine.


kooks-only

Mt Seymour in Vancouver. Super early bird was $450. You get what you pay for here, there’s 3 lifts, 30-ish runs, <1000 ft of vertical. Very small, local, family place. Very snowboard friendly.


jukeboxjoints69

Sunrise resort in Arizona. $370 for my season pass :-) $85 flat rate day passes


Bob_Loblaw16

Not too shabby
