I'll be ordering my Salzburg Super soon, I have until the 20th Dec to take advantage of the cheap price and don't arrive back home until the 18th. It covers 86 resorts now so there are still a load that I have never skied.

Having purchased my 3V season pass at the start of the season, I am fortunate to have had just over two weeks use of it this season. Although now back in the U.K. I am confident I will be able to make good use of it later in the season.
What I have noticed however is the expiry date is 15 May 2022 unlike previous years where it has been the end of September. This effectively means it is not now valid for the summer season which for those of us that use it in the summer is a hidden price increase.

I may have missed a thread, who has got their season pass?
Last season, I got two season passes for each of the Andorran areas. The second was so I could use the lifts in the summer for mountain biking too. I think last season’s cost €595 in total.
This year, they’ve combined the pass for the whole of Andorra which includes summer lift use for the grand total of €370 (resident with renewal discount). Happy days.

Bought the GM pass in September to take advantage of the cheap offer - amazing value for money vs. pretty much any other area in France. No idea why it is so cheap... Maybe I should keep my trap shut?

You know it makes sense.

@KenX, seriously considering not bothering, we only just about manage to get the minimum days in. It just takes a couple of bad weather days where the lifts don't open to make it un-economical. It was decent value last year, although we cancelled it last winter when weren't able to come out at Christmas. We will probably just use Holiski again.

I also got the GM season pass early bird deal in September last year. Amazing value.
It's still a good deal even now, at 552€ before end November. And they also have some other deals this month, like 23% off for families 6-14 days.

We've booked 2 weeks in Grand Massif, so bought Season passes at early bird price of €525 which is cheaper than a 13 day lift pass. Suppose we need to arrange a second trip to take advantage...

We have three weeks booked in Morillon in January/early February and season passes bought early and for people a touch older.

In the past I wouldn’t have done it because I was working for a company and every time I was in Scotland the weather was not ideal. So I would get 6 days max.
However, now I have my own company and can take a day or two off during the week if the conditions are good then it will be worth it.
There is another speculative reason I can’t go into that makes it worth while.

@Bergmeister, afaik the assurance on your lift pass at (in the case of PdS) is €59 a year and covers you for rescue, emergency medical cover and repatriation. It’s not really to replace your travel insurance, as it’s designed for French folk who have top up cover anyway. The beauty of the cover with your pass is that you have no need to pay for rescue etc and reclaim it (as you would on your UK travel insurance) and there’s no need to worry about whether you’re on/off piste, with/without a guide, open/closed piste - they’ll take you off the hill and sort out the costs. I think sixty euro a year is a bargain!

For how many people? I've just paid €1188 for my wife and my Paradiski passes combined.
Though Carré Neige looks good value combined with EHIC I have declined it since I already have travel insurance.

@johnE, I assume “annual” is year round so includes summer?
I have BMC insurance as that covers me for cycling, climbing etc as well as skiing, ski touring etc, but I still pay for assurance on my season pass due to the simplicity of just showing your pass and then someone else deals with the immediate costs of any incident. Given that the injured party may be taken off on their own and away from the rest of the party avoiding having to worry about signing paperwork in French is well worth fifty quid!
