Epic pass is like $700. Season passes are not much.

Do you even want to go right now with the ski patrol strike going on? Half the runs are closed and lines are enormous

I just checked and basically every list that’s open is 20+ min wait. And none of

No, I don't. I just read about it, which led me to look at the prices.

Is the strike the reason prices are so high right now?

Then there are ski rentals, parking, and proper ski gear plus food. The vast majority of Utahns now never ski.

Sounds like they need more ski resorts in Utah

Don’t forget about the cost of surgery afterwards.

You can fly to Austria and ski there for cheaper than going to a US resort

Japan, Italy, Norway all cheaper than a week at a major U.s. resort.

Vail Group has ruined so many resorts. They even seem too cheap to make snow.

Their margins suck, too. They must have insanely high operating costs to have declining margins with these price

I used to ski all the time, when an all day pass was five dollars.

Go to Brianhead. Kids ski free and adults are like 60$

Veteran+dependent season passes were $561, active duty and retired were $172

This is partly why I never signed my kids up for ski school--this isn't a hobby

You can ski Sundance for $100, but they need a lot more snow right now.

night skiing is way less. Ikon base pass is just over $1k for a season pass. It can be done.

That's one person. And you need skis for each person. If you own them you need to store them and you

In high school a season pass was $99. I miss that.

Go to a better resort. Won't cost you as much. Also there are many deals to be had, unless you want to pay full price.
