Picked up a midweek pass for the rest of this season for 239 bucks. 37 days left in the season if they don't extend it.
I have to try and catch up with a few of you here. Going up tomorrow for day 7 of the season for me.

In my experience. Meadows is not going to extend. Once spring pops the day passes drop off QUICKLY. Additionally the last few weeks they don't even open midweek. So that's kind of a rip.

I'm only 3 days away from breaking even. So there's that.
Going back up Monday :)

It doesn't take many days to break even on $239. That sounds like a great deal! I got the value pass for $420, and have gotten 7 days on it so far. Compared to buying lift tickets, I'm already $208 ahead, but now that the value pass is back to working on the weekends I'm hoping to get at least a few more days in.

Meadows is a fun ski area. It reminds me of Solitude in Utah, which I love: both have a long, beautiful canyon that requires multiple lifts to lap, both don't have steep fall line top-to-bottom skiing but have most of their steeps going down ridges or canyon walls. And now that Solitude is on the Ikon pass, both are crowded :ogbiggrin:.

Meadows also gives a military discount but you have to submit a form 48 hrs in advance. With that I got a couple 65.50 midweek tickets. So based on the discount ticket pricing I only have to ski 4 days and I'm ahead.
Skied 3 hours today, if I had paid the full price of 109 bucks I would have toughed it out for a couple more hours.
So for me being unemployed and close to retirement this midweek pass works :)

My Whitefish season pass gets me a few days at Meadows. Any chance they’ll be open after April 12? I’d like to hit it a day or 2 that week if they are still spinning the lifts.

The last time I checked, they're open until April 18, and then Fri-Sun until May 1, although it's possible they extend either of these dates outward. Our snowpack is much deeper than normal right now, so I would imagine that we will be having a great spring skiing season this year.

Sweet. I hope to run out there that week. One more question, any off-grid rv/van camping around there?

I believe you can park overnight in the sno-parks, although you should double check because I haven't done it. I've heard that you shouldn't stay overnight in the Meadows lots, as you could get towed. Make sure to buy a sno-park pass while you're here, you might even need them to park in the Meadows lots (I know you do in the Skibowl or Timberline lots).

Just saw this today. You do need a Snopark pass at both Timberline and Meadows. I'm not sure what happens after April 31st. Thar's the end date on the daily snopark passes.
