I've been seeing some ads for this new ski pass and it has the sickest mountains on it but not much info. It looks like it's going to be good next year so I'm just curious what the price is going to be. If anyone knows how much it will be let me know. Here's all the mountains on it though

From random rumors I've heard, it'll cost the same as Epic at least for its inaugural year.

I would get pretty close to the epic pass as that's what they're competing with. Probably the same as most passes, starting lower and going up as time goes on. Going to be pretty wild. Aspen, KSL made some pretty crazy moves last season.

Wow, the list of mountains on this pass is unreal. Some of the best of the East, and the West. Might have to go for it next year!

I'm tempted, but not if it's one of those things where you only have five days at each mountain, I don't travel that much. I'd imagine that is the case though with so many mountains on it, there is no way that there are unlimited days with all the mountains on there.

Even in that scenario it could be a buy it to one mountain as a full season and get X amount of days to each of these other mountains. Or buy it as a full season for your region with x amount of days to other mountains.

Makes more sense than only having a limited amount at each. That wouldn't really compete with the epic pass.

I'm still waiting for someone to fully explain how this is going to work with Canadian Mountain Helis. Will my Mammoth employee ID get me cheap heli skiing? This could be a game changer but I doubt it. Alta-bird tickets will be cool, though.

Gonna hop on the $599 one. Going to Mammoth on April 12th for 3 days and these will cover that trip which would have been over $200 alone. Also I live near Big Bear and it is unlimited use along with Mammoth and Squaw and except ten black out days all year... I can EASILY cover the cost and even take a Jackson Hole or Alta/Snowbird trip on top of that.
