Belleayre Conditions

[DomB]

Wow - pass sales growth from 2600 to 7600 in five years . . . . Where is Z - I remember his Belleayre trashing fondly. Not knockin' Z just saying. He hooked me up with a great instructor at the Face some years ago.

I am not even in that number as past two years i have been in the Gore count.

It’s also hard to estimate that when pass sales have grown from 2600 to 7600 in five years so not a lot of history to draw from.

Is that Belleayre only passes or do they also factor in full Ski 3 passes?

My guess is it's Belleayre only plus Ski3 with Belleayre as the home mountain.

I think Belleayre has much more day ticket visits than Hunter, or Windham. They have much cheaper ticket prices and are not part of any mega pass. I think Gore has the biggest percentage of passholder visits in ORDA, because their primary market is the Capital Region, which is relatively local.

How do they determine this, some combination of location and number of visits? I don't recall checking any kind of question about it when I got the pass.

With the Ski3 Pass, the home mountain is simply determined by where you bought it, or more likely which website you bought it through.

I'm pretty sure a much greater percentage of visits are on a pass now since covid. I'm pretty confident that skier visits haven't triple or even doubled.

I am probably the exception to this. Have Gore set in my favorites and bought the pass thru that website. They link easy enough to the other mountains. I live 75 minutes from Belleayre so they get way more visits than Gore (+2.5 hours for me).

Right. With sellouts, COVID drove even more people to buy passes on top of the cheap pass / expensive day ticket model that was already encouraging more season pass sales. The crowd has really been quite manageable. I suspect skier visits are down compared to some previous years but revenue per skier visit is up.

Although there are many more midweek visits compared to pre Covid to factor in as well.
