    Powder Mountain / Grand Targhee pricing

    Hi all, hope everyone is hanging in there! I’m considering not buying Ikon passes this season. We might just do one week, around Presidents’ Day. Thinking of Powder Mountain and Grand Targhee. Anyone have an idea of costs of a 4 or 8 days pass at those places, when bought in ~November?

    We really should ski Powder Mountain sometime. That’s something Phil and I have said to each other nearly every time we've been in Utah over the past seven or eight years; 2019 was the year we ended up skiing Powder Mountain, and we are kicking ourselves for not doing it sooner. As we drove up...
