Big Sky Resort wants to get more skiers and snowboarders to Lone Mountain and they’re counting on locals to be a big part of that plan.
On Thursday, the resort announced a new season pass scheme that cuts the current 2009-2010 season pass rate of $1,475 by more than 40 percent.
The new Gold Unlimited pass, offered for $799 if purchase before April 30, 2010, has no blackout dates, direct to lift access and 15 percent off shopping at Big Sky Resort retail outlets. The price jumps to $999 on May 1, 2010, and again to an undetermined amount on Sept. 30, 2010. Juniors and college students get another $100 break on the price.
Big Sky says the change to its pricing structure for season passes is based on feedback from the community, guests and business leaders.
Passes can be secured for $249 if you don’t have the full amount to pony up by April 30.
“The addition of payment plans with the $799 price make this a no-brainer,” said sales and marketing director, Meg O’Leary. “The breakeven point for this pass is only 10 days.”
I don’t know if $799 is exactly a no-brainer, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction if Big Sky is looking to draw more locals to the resort.
In addition, Big Sky is offering Silver Midweek ($599) and Bronze Budget ($299) passes. The Bronze Budget pass allows for skiing from opening day through Christmas, Jan. 3-9, 2011 and March 26, 2011 to the end of the season.

This discounted rate will be valid until April 30, 2010, and to make things even easier Big Sky Resort is offering payment plans. Passes can be secured with only $249 down by April 30, with the remaining balances due in June and August.
“We’re hearing from people from the community and across the country,” said sales and marketing director, Meg O’Leary. “We’re so excited and we’ve listened. The addition of payment plans with the $799 price make this a no-brainer, the breakeven point for this pass is only 10 days.”

As part of Boyne Resorts, passholders receive reciprocal benefits at any of the other nine Boyne Resorts from free lift tickets to discounts based on the level of pass.
