there will be no changes to passes this year. the new company may announce changes to next seasons passes/offerings as early as October but nothing is certain. i cannot foresee anything major to be honest, we're at 1150 now, if i had to guess, and frankly all of us are unless someone has inside info, there's no way you are going to see slashed pass prices. most likely a pass with some days added for the other resorts. but we dont even know what resorts will be kept, sold or if new resorts will be purchased. enjoy the summer!
This. ^^^^^.
This is just the start of things to come. Agree with
@Ron. Timing wise, this year will reflect keeping things moving along while they get their arms around the business, and begin plan many changes. Some resorts sold, IMO, more to come. Then a plan as to how to fit it all together, and maximize results. I would bet on little change this winter, and substantial change to rollout in 2018. Including more people changes, BTW.
Will be very interesting to follow. Do we know the new name yet? Anybody heard of rumors regarding Europe or the Southern Hemisphere?
Much more excited about this venture than about Vail buying another property, and selling the additional Epic Pass sales numbers to the street. I'm curious about everything to do with this one.
I doubt very seriously if this is a "Follow Vail and price like Epic" plan. But there's a lot of silence and guessing from the customer world.
The whole landscape will likely change in a year. And It sounds to me like it will not be one size fits all.
I hear chatter in Aspen, Steamboat, at Stratton, and in CO...and it's all a bit different. Which tells me that a lot of lips are pretty well sealed.
Interesting stuff. Much more to it that pass deals, strategy and pricing....though no doubt that will be carefully assessed for 2018-2019.
The promo video is a good one. Fun!
