This is simple, and simple is good. What are you guys thinking on this? What’s the better deal? What are the pros & cons? The factors involved?
Throw your thoughts in the comment box below and I’m gonna compile the information and opinions you supply and write a detailed post next week on this topic. I think this’ll be fun.
THE QUESTION:
What pass are you gonna get next year, the Squaw Pass or the Kirkwood + Alpine pass?
THE SEASON PASS BASICS:
The Squaw pass =$700 with no blackout dates. (prices go up June 15th)
The Kirkwood+Alpine pass =$700 with no blackouts for one resort & these blackouts for the other resort (you choose which resort to prioritize): December 26-31, January 14-15, February 18-19. (prices go up May 30th)
Money really is the bottom line before embarking on any monetary enterprise, but of course, there are other considerations.
