Love Ikon pass fails, one of my favorite things to see. Black out weekends remind me of a time when these passes didn't exist (and before vail bought everything) and when the canyons weren't nearly as crowded..... Signed, season pass holder.

[@stevenmcdabbin7652]

Dude literally the exact SAME situation happened to me... I drove down from silverthorne and it was a blackout day. Waited an hour in line too. I asked the day pass price and went home lol

[@Readit4Life_2Chron7_14]

Ohhh. Yeah, that's right,.... I bought the full IKON pass to avoid the blackout dates.... Well, my daughter told me that in Colorado a lot of the resorts have changed their pricing program to one of Supply & Demand so that the price for a full day lift ticket will fluctuate just like airline tickets on SWA. That's crazy!! Who the heck wants to pay $260/day for a ticket at any time. Crazy! Ruining skiing & snowboarding for everyone.

You should also counter-steer when trying to carve and get the sled on it's side. It feels weird at first, but it's the only way to stay in control of the sled.

You need a couple of snowmobiles you aren't going to any serious back country spots on a sxs with tracks.

[@michaellurie9138]

Epic gives you 50% off day tickets on blackout days. Also if you own a lesser pass like northeast value, they will give you 50% off on day tickets at any Epic owned resort. Too bad they are neglecting wildcat this season.

Are you gonna go back to Steamboat later this season

[@mintyfresh2424]

I live in Chicago and was trying to plan a ski trip to Colorado this season. I'm wondering, are all these top Colorado resorts (i.e. Copper, Breck, Keystone) that expensive for a day pass?? $260 seems absolutely outrageous and worries me a bit considering I planned to go to at least four different resorts

[@404racing5]

I went to copper earlier this season, and I think I paid about $500 for a day pas for me and my wife and a room for 1 night in one of the condos. I got a bundle on their site so they discounted the lift tickets a bit. Current prices are like $99 for a Thursday, $189 for a Saturday, $179 for a Sunday

[@mintyfresh2424]

@Adrien Brown Great looking out man! I never would have originally known, I've always wanted to go to Canada too! I especially like the fact that the tickets are much more affordable, plus most likely less people which is always a plus. Thanks so much for the advice man

[@namelesskat4814]

At the end of your comment you say you are planning to go to at least four different resorts, do you know what resorts you are going to?

[@mintyfresh2424]

@@namelesskat4814 I was thinking copper, beaver, Breck, and possibly Vail

[@namelesskat4814]

@@mintyfresh2424 All of your choices are pretty expensive, doesn't mean they are bad resorts if you can afford it though. Most of them aren't $260 expensive but more like $145+ expensive. I would recommend purchasing your tickets online as they usually give you a discount and the price varies from day to day. (Copper has some days where the price drops down to $99). And for Vail, well, I've heard a lot of bad stuff about Vail but if you want to go there I'm not gonna stop you.

I own Anon WM1 goggles ($200+) which are magnetic but I bought a pair to support his channel and so my son can have a magnetic pair. They have a wider range of sight on the sides and the lens works well when it’s bright and then becomes cloudy. No need to switch to a super light lens until a storm rolls in and it gets dark. Big for a smaller woman’s face but they are still sick!! Good quality for $90

I replaced my goggles last year when I skid Bolton Valley in Northern Vermont and got them for $20.
