Replying to Who is buying a 20/21 season pass?

EDIT:

Alterra announced that they are allowing purchases to be deferred to the 21/22 season if you choose to. Go Alterra. Unless I'm wrong, nothing new from Vail?

Original Post:
This past season, I bought both the Ikon and Epic pass. I was planning on renewing the Ikon pass ASAP, however, given that we have no idea what the fall is going to look like, I'm holding off.

I spoke with both Ikon and Epic Pass customer support and all their passes are non-refundable (for COVID-19 related), and I just spoke with the Insurance Company you can add for supplementary coverage for with the Ikon Pass, and global pandemics are not covered under their policy.

This all seems pretty reasonable to me - I wouldn't expect insurance carriers or Alterra/Vail to bleed revenue due to this event. That being said, I'm curious who is actually going to buy a season pass now. I guess it depends on your confidence in the pandemic ending and not seeing a 2nd/3rd wave in the fall.

I won't be buying a season pass yet - wondering if I'm alone.
