no, it should be a $1 day. The tickets a dollar, all the food is a dollar per item, that'd be sick.

it does seem a bit pricey for an all park only mtn...if they had more skiing that would be a deal though

The 6 day thing doesn't seem too bad. Comes out to around 21ish bucks a day. Pretty cheap

I agree. Its a bit pricey. Especially when you can get the superpass for $160 through wells fargo.
I love the mountain though.. and probably will pick up a 6 pack.

Wish we could swing a better deal but being a small mountain we have limited space for season passes. One thing we can do is swing a discount for pass orders of 10 or more. If there are 10 newschoolers out there who want to do the season pass we can cut a "newschooler" rate to $249. So if you are planning on coming more than 6 times this is the best deal.
Otherwise, the best deal is probably the 6-pack.
Opening date - probably mid November, but we'll keep you posted.

by the way, I like that "free day" or at least super cheap day idea. When in the season should we do it?

i really want to see echo this year, i went last year and i hated the jumps, they were shaped so wierd, im guessing thats probably cause they had like no time to make snow and stuff. but if they have a really good park it could be like the coolest place ever, especially when everyone there is probably under 35 or 40 and/or into park stuff.

thats such a rip off-i get a 5 mtn pass for 250 unlimited on 4 of the 5 mtns and i get 20 days at vail

its definatly not a rip off, its just that the 5 mountain pass is the best deal ever. actually the echo pass is a pretty damn good deal too. think about other mountains, it costs around 1000 in alot of places for a season pass.

Anyway, the fact that you can ski 5 of the countries top mountains for $350 and the fact that a terrain park costs roughly $270 is a little off balance.
The whole $1000 theory doesnt work because there arent any of those resorts that lie within range of the target market (I-70 corridor). i might go for a few afternoon sessions, but other than that, they better come up with some sweet incentives to get me there.
