Holy shit. This is wild.
@Schifdog just ran down the stairs to tell me.
------------------
Here's the TLDR
If you switch from Blue to Ikon, you have limited visits to Blue Mountain, lose the free buddy pass, and access to the VIP line.
------------------
I'm currently working like 20-hours a week and have been thinking ... man, this would be so sweet to ski midweek and go off to Utah again...
So, I've contacted Ikon to get more details and they said to contact Blue.
I contacted Blue asking if my season pass is now valid at Ikon Resorts - it's not.
I asked Blue if there's an option to upgrade - there's not.
But, the agent did offer to refund my season pass. And then you buy the Ikon.
But, Ikon will be limiting visits to Blue Mountain and has blackout dates.
Hope this helps others considering switching to Ikon.
--------------------
Me: as a current season pass holder, are you offering any options to upgrade to Ikon? I called Ikon and they told me that you would be offering a promotion to cancel my season pass and upgrade it to Ikon
Blue: We are happy to work with you to find the solution you need! If we refund your Blue Mountain Season Pass, you will lose all pass holder benefits including access to the VIP line at high-speed lifts, your free buddy pass, free snow tubing, and year-round 10% discount on food and retail. You will also be limited to 5 or 7 visits to Blue Mountain and subject to IKON blackout dates (depending on your Ikon Season Pass type). If you would like to continue with a refund on your Blue Mountain Season Pass, please let me know.
Me: is there a deadline that you're offering the pass refund option?
Blue: You can get a refund for your pass as long as you haven't used it yet. No specific date
