Ikon or epic pass for NE skiing?

Ikon is best for NE skiing only (Killington, Sugarbush, Sugarloaf, Sunday River, Stratton). Epic (Okemo, Mt. Snow, Wildcat, Sunapee) isn’t even close.

If you are doing more skiing out west in addition to the NE skiing, do Epic (Vail, Breck, Park City, Whistler). If you are considering doing a little skiing internationally in addition to the NE, do Ikon (Zermatt, Chamonix, Niseko)

Thanks all! Looks like Ikon it is! See you at Killington ⛷️

If you’re only skiing NE, there are some New England specific passes that may be better (New England pass). The cheaper ikon passes limit the number of days at each mountain.

Otherwise, pick which mountains you like skiing most. Personally I like the mountains on east coast - west coast that are on the ikon pass better

Ikon has a great partner network. This allows greater reach on a variety of resorts. Vail has a variety of resorts, but a different model.

I had the Ikon Pass last year and it was great. I think I had about 14 days on the snow between New England, SLC, and Banff.

Ikon also traditionally has shorter lines on the east coast

Epic mountains had insaaane lines last year. Idk if i’d do it again or recommend it to anyone

fwiw if you are a veteran Epic is less than $500

Usually buy both but epic is only worth a handful of resorts to justify the discount. I work in the industry and live in a big ski state.

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?
