I can’t imagine this will be purchased by many people but for those who want it…why not! I’m sure a small group of high spenders would find value and worth the low effort to offer this.

From a pricing perspective also nice that there is an even higher offering and thus pushing the current highest into a “medium drink” tier.

$2,600 bucks

Interesting that this is the first pass product I have seen that one can add a full Ikon pass to at a discounted rate ($799). All other passes with add in options only allow you to add the iKon Base which leaves off several resorts from the full.

Wonder how many of these passes they hope to sell

I might be the voice of other reason here. I will say I have no interest in the unlimited pass where for $2600.

But the 6 day ski whenever wherever pass for less than $600? That's not too bad at all if you've got other season pass arraignments for your normal day to day skiing pleasure. Way less than the walk up rate at Boyne ski hills and it'll probably be less than any multiday ticket rate this coming year considering most of the "deals" last year were in the $95/day range for a multipack.

Mental math:
Couple days at Sugarloaf, head down 17 to Sunday River for a fun event, manipulate your company to send you west for work for a day or two..... it ain't bad.

On a similar note, its complete BS that there is no standalone sugarloaf pass option, and that one has to buy a new england pass for all three

If you're planning a week to Big Sky, it could make sense.

It would probably be the same price or an insignificant savings. I don't think they can operate the mountain on much less. I paid about $25 a day this year. Packaging the three together is probably just an act of goodwill and a marketing tactic. They probably figure not many people will take advantage of it because most pass owners are property owners. It was a great thing when our daughter was competing around New England.

^^^ this

Back when there was standalone pass (20-25+ years ago?) it wasn’t much different price than the NE pass is today.

Can you buy just a SR Pass or a Shawnee Pass? If not, think of SL getting some revenue from those skiers forced to buy our mountain's pass.
