I see they MC and Epic ski pass discussions, especially with this years Gathering and the use of the 3 mountains for the week.
I/we could not see the use of an MC as we like to go somewhere and settle in for the stay. With a 2/2/3 (Gathering schedule) it is not a ski in/ski out situation staying at the some place all week. I don’t know, maybe we are just weird, but when I get somewhere the first thing I do is unpack and put everything away and make it home for the stay (5-12 days) how ever long it might be.
I do get the value of the number of days you get for less than $500, but is it really a value when it inconveniences the buyer by making them move around?
I get the discount after the 3rd day of the “home mountain”, but it is still not a savings if you pay $489 and then 1/2 price form additional days.
Do others feel the same, or am I just off base? As a couple travels to ski, we would be more interested in the ability to have a pass for one location for the whole week.
A pass is not an option this year as we are going to Deer Valley and Vail, I would like to throw in Snowmass in March if possible, but obviously Vail and Aspen are not compatible ski passes.
It is a bit of a conundrum
