muffMan.Loveland gang rise up
partyandBSif i were to do it, i would keep it 5 or 7 days on the ikon but then make it unlimited before november and after may 1st. also keep the a basin only pass with a full ikon option similar to crystal i think (also alterra)
Farmville420Pretty much every major alterra mountain has a Woodward, they don't let you build jumps tho I'm p sure
BigPurpleSkiSuitStay strong powdr Corp, I wouldn't be able to stand it if we were unlimited at bird on ikon.
Abasin seemed quite cool from what I saw. This saddens me.
jhnegbrtCurrently, Ikon pass only gets 5 (or maybe 7?) days at Abasin. Alterra could give unlimited days to Ikon pass holders (just like WP, Steamboat, Solitude etc.). A lot of people go to WP/Copper to save their A-Basin days for the spring or when it snows; if they had unlimited, they might go all the time.
The way Alterra’s relationship is structured with their associated resorts (Alta/SB, Aspen, etc.), they are incentivized to get as many “skier-days” as possible at the resorts they own.

SlushSeasonCan you stand it even now? Unless they radically change the parking situation, I'll be moving to an Alta pass next year. Snowbird has become the gutter of the cottonwoods for all the people that can't get a parking reservation anywhere.
r00kieIt seems their brand is selling the idea of a locals mountain to tourists. Taking away a lot of the flash of i70 resorts while still being very much an i70 resort.

BradFiAusNzCoCaNot gonna cry over spilt milk aka A Basin when I’ve got Loveland
HapgThis might be a retarded prediction but I foresee Alterra forcing the resort/ski patrol to shut down the East Wall and Steep Gullies at some point in the coming years.
Either preemptively or following a bunch of retarded Jerry’s killing themselves trying to go down either.
I’m not saying this terrain is some all time challenging terrain, but the average skier at the basin is 10x better than what you see at Breck, Keystone, and Copper.
mikemAltera is not known for being a friend of terrain parks, shovel built jumps, or employee satisfaction.
Level1Alterra owns Mammoth and they have arguably the best terrain parks in North America. Certainly top 5 easily and they invest a lot of resources into them.

SlushSeasonThey've also been expanding the park at Solitude every year even though space is pretty limited. Idk what solitude was like before Alterra, but they clearly care about keeping the park around.
blazeonyiaUpdate - paid parking next year:

mrk127I'm confused, is there parking reservations/ kon reservations for this season at Abasin?
I'm hyped I'm going out to Copper and Abasin for the first time next week
