Now, doesn`t that cheer you all up a bit Very Happy

Last year a 6 day adult pass was 280lv, so basically it has gone up 3lv

Have just checked ski packs, all unchanged from last year, the only differance is only 15% discount if booking full package (pass, gear and instruction)

Still not bad though

We may, i say may, be offering pre-booked passes (6 day) and ski packages after Jan 4th, with a small discount over what you would pay at
the gondola (and you would not have to queue), and hopefully we would get them to you in resort when you arrive... Watch this space

Not bad although i don't see the season pass being remotely practical for 99% of holiday makers as most don't live there and will run to a fortnight at best.

re: In these times of doom and gloom

Understand where your coming from, but at least the existing pass has not gone up very much, about 1% for the bulk of the season.
The only benefit of the season pass is to those who may have an apartment here and wish to ski for more than 2 weeks, you cover your money in 2 weeks 2 days.
Its just an improvement in these times over what was available Very Happy

That's where most will feel the pinch this year.
