I'm struggling with the decision on which pass to get for snowboarding this year. I will probably stick to the following mountains:

Copper
Winter Park / MJ
Steamboat
Ski Cooper

I'm torn as to whether I want to get the Super Pass, or the Super Pass Plus, or just a couple 4 passes.

What is everyone else getting?

If it's anything like years past, most peeps here go to the dark side and pick up one of the the Keystone/A-Basin/Breck/Vail passes

Can't stand Vail Associates, but the more Intrawest screws up Copper, the less I loath Vail.

Just like Salsa said, if this goes anything like before, The CSC contingent will overwhelmingly get either the Colorado Pass, or the Summit Pass. The former having the 10 days to use at either Vail or Beaver Creek.

Already got my Colorado Pass (Basin/Keystone/Breck and 10 days to use at Vail and Beaver).

And i need to renew my Loveland Mid-week pass.

:imwithstupid:
I'm so excited! This is the first real pass I've ever gotten. I got one to Eldora last year. Even at $130 it was a waste of $$.

Got mine to Vail resorts. I even decided to get the new $20 insurance. Anyone see that? Guess if you get hurt, laid off, etc and can't go the rest of the season they will prorate you a refund depending on what part of the season it is.

:lol: You're all a bunch of conformist sheep! j/k

I am going to be the odd ball and get a winter park / MJ / Copper pass, just can't decide which one.

All my family goes to copper (which was my preference in years past too), but i'm going to expand my horizons and add another mountain to my preferred list. :) I've never been to WP or MJ, so this could be interesting.

I was never a fan of breck, keystone or vail...never been to a-basin.

I'll go wherever the good snow is and the crowds aren't. I usually plan my season around the various discount cards and 4-pass deals. Some one I know from work has a condo in Fraser so I may be up in WP/MJ. I go to Vail, BC, Loveland, Breck, Copper, not so much Keystone or AB.

Yep.. this is more of a social forum about "I want to get a bike, but..." or " my boyfriend has a bike, doesn't that count?" :lol: Oh and don't forget "wang nights" :D

Colorado Pass b/c them's the mountains I like. It helps that more folks go to those mountains too since my car isn't snow-friendly and we have no idea what Girlie's vacation time is gonna look like this holiday

I have (unlike the rest of you drone-zombie-sheep-losers) the Super Pass - WP/MJ/Copper. I never go to Steamboat, so I didn't bother adding them to my pass. This is my 4th or 5th year of that pass, and I have not regretted it.












I don't need to pose to know I am cool (Barn) :lol:

I always party naked. I would rather party naked with her than with you (I think). Plus, I always bring my own party anyway. By the time me and my posse show up there are another 4 sometimes 5 people at the resort. Straight outta Compton, y'all better make way!!!

Colorado Pass. I would rather support my Canuck brethren (a la Intrawest), but Vail resorts is a better deal all around.
As tradition goes, I'm still going to wait until the last weekend they are onsale.

Summit pass.
spend $39 my friend and get the Colorado Pass. You won't regret it. the price of a lift ticket at Vail or BC is $85+.

for the $39 you get 10 days at Vail and/or BC, and unlimited riding during the month of April and on.

Agree 100%, that's what I had the past two years. I went Summit to appease the boss and realistically . . . I just want a pass to feed the need.

Well then yeah, if you party naked, then I am glad you will be over there. lol Sounds pretty gay if you ask me considering you are a guy :slappers:

4 or 5??? Some of the parties we have had up there reach 20+ in a condo suite. Leah, get the Colorado pass, you won't be dissapointed!!

nope ..... since those 2 resorts are smaller they get more crowded.

you want empty runs and lift lines go to Loveland during the week.

Probably my favorite place to ride. I just wish it was a lil bigger and on the other side of the divide. The wind sometimes gets a lil annoying.

I used to go to loveland, but realized quickly how much it sucks. I can't usually go in the middle of the week either.

I'm really looking forward to going to steamboat, it's been entirely too long for me.

If you can survive the #2 lift, you can survive almost anything.

You can bet I'll be calling in "sick" a few times to catch Loveland after a big snow!

Regardless of where you go, as long as you're out there shredding and having a good time is all that really matters.

No pass for me this year :cry: Damn economy!!! Just got notice of a manditory furlough I have to take before the new year. There goes my pass money. This will be the first in 24 straight seasons that I will not have a pass. At least my bike is paid for.

Sorry, a little behind on my thread.

Yes, I and the 3 to 4 girls I invite to my hot tub all party naked. It is a burden, but someone has to do it.

Leah, should we include you next time (hahahahahahahahahaha)...

I'm getting the Copper / WP pass this year. I mainly go weekdays and I can assure you that Copper and WP are about ghost towns on the weekdays...even with fresh powder.

And I love the parking at MJ! Get there early enough you park right by the lodge/lift.

Mary Jane, Copper for me, I think that's the superpass? I've gotten it for the past 3 or 4 years. I like it. Dealing with the hike up 70 to the summit cnty area is a pain in the ass, but I'll do it occasionally for copper.
