Epic Buddy Pass / Ikon Friend's & Family Tickets: 24/25 Season Sticky Thread

14 Upvotes

Looking to make a connection locally for an Epic Buddy Pass, or a Ikon Friends & Family pass? This is the thread for you!. Use this thread to make these requests - please do not create a new post.

Some suggestions:
- Indicate which mountain - Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR) or Deer Valley (DV) you are looking to make a connection for. If skiing PCMR indicate which side of the mountain you are able to pick up tickets from (Canyons Village, Mountains Village, or both)
- Indicate clearly the date you are hoping to buy buddy/friends & family pass on

I can't speak to the terms and conditions of each program (see links above) - but if you are offering your buddy some compensation for your connection - you can say that - but I'd strongly suggest you take details offline to chat. Because you're buddy's now....so clearly that's just between you guys....because you're buddy's.

Finally - I suspect the hit rate for connections is low. The /r/parkcity mods do not take any responsibility for broken dreams..... sorry -skiing in Park City is expensive :-(

Food & Entertainment Non Vail owned restaurants at Canyons Village

9 Upvotes

Unfortunately, have family visiting town this coming weekend for their annual vacation. Though I have convinced them to avoid skiing PCMR, they do still have a timeshare at the Canyons and will be using it. Are there any non-Vail owned restaurants in the Village I can point them to? Also any restaurants on Main Street they should check out? I love the Cabin and O'shucks but not sure if it's my families vibe.

Relocating 🚚 Housing/Moving

2 Upvotes

What’s up everyone. I’m about to finish college up in the next few months and have to start putting my life together. Looking to move to park city in June then stay for a year maybe two to work then ski all season. I have no connections there or any knowledge. What’s the best way to pull this off in terms of housing/jobs anyone have tips or tricks to make it affordable? I might have a roommate but I think I’m just gonna be doing it solo. Any advice is appreciated.

PCMR conditions report claims 13" Saturday into Sunday over the weekend. I could just be slow, but it seems like the snow stake cam history didn't show it. Fake news?

Visiting PC Park city next week? Cancel?

9 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have a trip to Park City Skiing next week that I planned for 8 months ago. Should we cancel? We have epic pass and don’t know if it’d be possible to get a refund. We can change our flights and hotel (with a fee). Trying to decide what is best? What do y’all think?

OK Tokkers. Enough portrait shakey-cam and 3-second 180s of long lift lines in Park City. Try landscape, deep breaths, and pan a bit slower. You’re welcome.

Local Vibes 84098 is not park city (proper)

0 Upvotes

Curious what the history is of why 84098 is not actually Park City. Although the ZIP code is Park City, it's not Park City proper for those that don't know in my mind, Park City is all nearby communities, canyons, summit Park, J ranch, Redstone, etc. But really these are not part of Park City proper which is interesting because there's different zoning laws, rules, regulations, officials, etc.

Any ideas or insights? Why Park City doesn't annex these areas? Pros are cons to either approach? Not advocating either way, just trying to learn.

PCMR Skiing to Town Lift

0 Upvotes

Are you able to ski to Town Lift to start your day of staying near one of the runs that funnels to it? We just arrived today and I looked at Quit N Time and noticed there are ski tracks on there so people must be skiing down to Town Lift and skiing back down to go home. Wondering if anyone has personally done this within the past week or so?

Local Vibes Most cost effective base grind?

2 Upvotes

Hey folks, I do the majority of my own (and my families) ski tuning, but the time has come to get some bases ground (which I can’t do properly). Where is the most cost effective place in Park City (or in the valley if it is substantially cheaper). I have 8 pairs of skis to do, so prices matter! I can do my own bevels and side edges (and waxing and base repairs). Suggestions?

PCPSPA Strike 💪🪧 Does govt need to step in at PC?

0 Upvotes

I’m usually anti big gov but even more so I’m anti corporations who’ve taken metric obsessed capitalism into every corner of our lives including activities like skiing, mountain sports, even youth sports. I consider this a space, a realm that should be preserved and protected. These exact things make America amazing. That being said, how much longer until the govt gets involved - state or local? This is awful for pc and Utah.

Idk what more is necessary for someone to step in, this is embarrassing our resources are being dangled in front of us like this. Even the math is peanuts - ~900k for the patrollers salary increase. How has this not been resolved yet?

PCPSPA Strike 💪🪧 Ski patrol demands???

0 Upvotes

Is there a published list of actual demands from ski patrol? Not vague talking points but actual list of specific terms they are fighting for?

It’s clear this isn’t really about $2/hr, but everything outside of that requirement is vague and unclear… makes it really hard to support either side with so little facts available… hoping someone here can provide reference?
