Wonder what this means for Ikon.....

…., I'd imagine they'd like to keep taking money from Mountain Collective and Ikon--and negotiate higher rates/adding some of their other properties onto the passes.
Sure, but the last thing MCP wants to do is make Ikon into a viable competitor in Phoenix. I can't imagine a scenario where they'd want Snowbowl on Ikon. But if Alterra will throw them some money when existing Ikon customers go to Brian Head or Purgatory or Eugene, that's a win.To remain competitive, they would have to elevate the guest experience to charge more.
Guests who vale a great experience anywhere near us universally go to Telluride.

MCP wants you to visit THEIR larger marquee resort. Right now Purgatory is pretty much the flagship, but with a bit of investment, Brian Head could be.Just curious, why do you say this? I live in Phoenix and take at least one trip to a larger marquee resort each year. I know many hate Epic and Ikon, but if Snowbowl was on one of those, it becomes a no brainer to purchase a pass for local use and to go to bigger resorts. I wonder if MCP wants to be acquired by one of the larger players.
OK, thank you. I haven't yet been to Purgatory but may do so in the future. But it doesn't have nearly the same pull as a Telluride, Vail, Breck, Park City, Whistler, Snowbird, Palisades, etc.MCP wants you to visit THEIR larger marquee resort.
