Epic Pass or IKON Pass?

eheathI will say you're not entirely wrong, the lift lines are a product of covid regulations, not necessarily more skiers, but its not necessarily the concentrated amounts during busy seasons, moreso the overall crowdedness of the town/resort feels worse than ever, traffic in the cottonwoods has never been worse, its more than just the number of tickets vail sells.

btw their earnings will be down, the resorts aren't making as much money as usual.

Season-to-date total skier visits were down 8.2% compared to the prior year season-to-date period.

@evenmeyer I just bought my ikon pass for next season, let the passes reign

Definitely copping an IKON as soon as the next paycheck hits the bank account

Yo all the ikon ns users should crash a resort post Covid, and all loudly bitch about the long lines while we’re in the line we caused.

Judging by the parking lots alone capacity hasn’t been limited

Do you have some context? doesn't really tell us anything without any context.

While our results for the second quarter continued to be negatively impacted by COVID-19, total visitation across our North American destination mountain resorts and regional ski areas was only down approximately 5% compared to the same period in the prior year. The strong visitation for the quarter highlights the underlying resiliency of our business, the loyalty of our guests and the strong appeal of skiing in guests' leisure travel plans. As we moved past the peak holiday period, which was constrained by capacity limitations driven by both COVID-19 and below average snow conditions, we saw improved results in January, particularly with lift ticket sales. While visitation trends improved throughout the quarter, our ancillary lines of business continued to be negatively impacted by COVID-19 related capacity constraints and limitations, particularly in food and beverage and ski school.

"We experienced strong results in the quarter from both our local and destination guests, with local visitation up slightly compared to the same period in the prior year and destination visitation proving more stable than we expected. Destination guests, including international visitors, modestly declined to 53% of our U.S. destination mountain resort skier visits (excluding complimentary access) despite the travel challenges associated with COVID-19, which compares to 57% in the same period in the prior year. International visitation, as expected, decreased significantly due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions. Results at Whistler Blackcomb were disproportionately impacted throughout the second fiscal quarter due to the Canadian border remaining closed to international guests (including guests from the U.S.), with destination guests, including international visitors, declining to 15% of Whistler Blackcomb visits (excluding complimentary access), which compares to 48% in the same period in the prior year."

Katz continued, "Our season pass unit sales growth of 20% for fiscal year 2021 created a strong baseline of demand heading into the season across our local and destination audience and will be one of the most important drivers of our performance and relative stability for this season. For the fiscal 2021 second quarter, 71% of our visitation came from season pass holders compared to 59% of visitation in the same period in the prior year. Our growth in pass holders this past year also positions us well as we head into the 2021/2022 season. We remain even more committed to the benefits advanced commitment offers our Company and intend to remain aggressive in providing the best value to skiers and riders who purchase in advance of the season and continuing our strategy to move lift ticket purchasers into our pass program. We are excited to launch our 2021/2022 lineup of Epic Pass products on March 23, 2021.
