Ikon pass v Epic pass
Looking to buy a lift pass for the 2019/2020 season. I can’t decide between the passes. I’m new to Seattle and have only been to Stevens pass. Ikon top pros: -access to snoqualmie which is less than an hour away - I imagine that a quick weekend trip to snoqualmie would be super simple -access to crystal mountain which is two hours away Epic pass top pros: -access to Stevens pass two hours away -better destinations outside of Washington I imagine I’d be going to either vail or whistler 1-2 times in the given season FYI I’ve never been to snoqualmie and crystal TC ~220
Yeah no brainer if you like sitting in hwy2 traffic and turned around at 8:20am because Stevens parking is too full. Crystal is fucking lit, definitely check it out before knocking it 🤙 Source: Skiied Stevens / Crystal for 5 years
I’ve never had issues parking at Stevens as long as I get there before 9 am... I guess I’m lucky?
I like crystal better than stevens but since you're in Seattle, because of Whistler, I'd pick epic pass. For your first season in Seattle, you'd have fun in either Crystal or Stevens. Also think about other places you might want to go to...Colorado, Utah etc
Epic basically pays for itself if you make it up to Whistler a few times. It’s a no brainer IMO.
