Passes for 2020 - 2021

[Milo Maltbie]

I bought a SKi3 pass before virus was a thing, but I get the old timers' cheap price. There's also some of peer pressure among my friends to get the full ORDA pass, which makes me a little more optimistic about the season. My son bought an ABasin pass, and I may do the same, more because I'm concerned that they'll limit day tickets than to save money. I might have renewed my Ikon pass if my son had renewed his, but he didn't.

I actually got a normal amount of skiing in that newborn year.

Baby liked the car ride and wife liked the change of scenery. Wife didn't ski, and sadly doesn't ski often anymore.

Oh interesting! What month was your kid born though? We're expecting in the next couple of weeks and I worry about taking an infant to a place where it routinely is in the single digits. We also stay in rando places and don't own anything up there, so the prospect of schlepping the baby stuff on top of the ski stuff seems overwhelming.

Good point.

We had a bit of kismet with ours.

Gore is one of the few mountains that will take a kid in diapers. Six months is the minimum age.

Opening day at Gore in 2006 was exactly six months after our daughters birth. My wife loved $200 for a season of babysitting and diaperin'. All that made her want to go to the mountains more.

After a lot of thoughts on both sides, I am opting to forgo a WF pas for the season. Hope to maybe hit a few Coke Wednesdays and maybe a few mid week days and just bite the bullet and pay at the window if conditions warrant. Hopefully by March I'll be able to pick up a season pass for the following season and get some use of it before shut down. Also going to do more XC skiing, check out some new places, and even some back country tours.

coke Wednesday’s? Damn, I didn’t know you upstate folks liked to party like them Colorado ski town people.

Oh yeah. Big time. Pretty much from Indian Lake north is my understanding

Maybe it's because I graduated from CU boulder. A-Basin was my go to Mtn, big fun, wild west late 70's. Pally lift wasn't there at that time so you had to work to get to it.

Yeah I figured next year I'll get the kid the day care "season pass"

I'm hopeful that the new Dark Side quad will alleviate lift lines if the Gondola is limited.

I think that will be true once they get enough terrain open. We’ll also be able to use burnt ridge to make our way to the summit.
early season and especially Christmas week are a concern.

Has ORDA talked about limits or use of the gondi?

I like my gondola lines at the gondola.

Last I heard - is that you go on the Gondola with who you agree to. They won't pack you in or fill the cab. Same with chair lifts - you ride with family, friends, people you agree to. I would imagine this will lead to longer lines.
