Every year, around the end of September, we face the same question. Should I buy a season pass for my favorite mountain or go with day tickets? Both options have their pros and cons.
Day ticket:
It's clear that if you have nomadic consumption habits, by which I mean that you're not loyal to a ski resort and that you wander between Mont-Édouard and Valinouët, day tickets are for you. If you're also the type of person who arrives at 8:30 a.m. and plans their days in advance, day tickets are for you. Finally, if you only ride four or five times a year, go for day tickets.
Seasonal menu:
On the other hand, if you're loyal to a mountain and you have Valinouët in your blood, a season pass may be an option. If you ride more than fifteen days in the same resort, the season pass will quickly pay for itself. And my best point, without a doubt, is flexibility. What's better than taking Wednesday morning off for a first chair! You get up at 7 a.m., have a coffee on the road, first in front of the chairs, 4 fresh powder runs and you go back down to work. What's better than waking up hungover on Saturday morning and telling yourself, I'm going to arrive at the mountain right around 12:30 p.m. and do a few runs with the bros. This is not something you would do if you had to pay for the $40 day ticket, believe me.
We understand that season passes are expensive, but we believe the flexibility they offer is unparalleled. You'll definitely increase the number of days you ride each year.
Enjoy!
