 Poster: A snowHead
|
Barring any COVID mentalness 6 of us are going on a road trip in the US in Feb. We are visiting Steamboat, Jackson Hole and Big Sky as a minimum.
We’ve bought Ikon passes - one question - do you use the Ikon pass on the mountain like a normal local pass, or do you use it to buy local passes in some way? Thank you.

Straight to lift. Just ping it on the gates like a euro pass still in your pocket. Someone will be conspicuously checking an ipad to collect bounty for any pass sharers they ping.
Make sure you stop at Deer Valley on the drive back down from Jackson not cos it's that great but it's worth doucheing it up for the snobby locals.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It depends on the individual mountain. Those mountains that already has integrated their RF scanners with IKON, you can go straight through. Those (few) that don’t, you’ll have to go get their specific ones from the lift office.
When I visit a mountain I haven’t visited before, I phone them and ask.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Cheers ABC. You’d imagine our 3 definite stops - Steamboat, Jackson and Big Sky would all be relatively up to date but I’ll check it out. Thanks.

It would not be unusual at base lifts to have to pull it out of your pocket so the lifty can shoot it with their gizmo (as opposed to an automatic turnstile), so have a lanyard handy just in case.

@Fifespud, my Brother and I did a similar thing in Feb 2020. First week at Powder Mountain and Snowbasin, then second week at Snowbird, Brighton and Solitude. All of the second week Resorts were on IKON Pass, all integrated so straight from the car to the lifts.
Enjoy your trip

If you want to use the ski bus in SLC you can use your Ikon pass, but you need to activate it at the office in Solitude (unless this has changed in the past year). Sounds like you are driving and not planning on visiting SLC but you never know

Cheers Driz. Correct we are driving. No plans for SLC as yet maybe if we are really unlucky there’ll be a COVID outbreak and we get stuck there for a couple of months
