I've been hoping for a pass that covers both K and Bird. JH is icing on the cake.

"Vail Resorts’ 750,000-plus annual sales of its Epic Pass"

Can that be right that they sell 750k passes ?

From their facebook page it seems as if you cannot ski Pico if you have this Ikon pass.

So Pico will be a ghost town if most K locals can’t ski there. Most people would choose an Icon pass vs a K pass if K is unlimited on Icon.

LOL. If they do actually offer an unlimited pass, it's going to be like $2000.

That's why this pass is sh*t, and why Vail sells 750,000 epic passes every year.
