Now that the 2008 / 2009 Whistler season passes on up for sale and the early bird special price is valid until October 13, 2008, I just wanted to share some insight on which pass to buy. I know this is a bit much but it might help in trying to decide which pass to get for the season.
Whistler Seasons Pass Link
This year seasons pass at Whistler has gone up again by about $100 or so. Also with the addition of the Peak to Peak there are two type of passes and tickets, with Peak to Peak include and without, so here goes. Below is a matrix of the the different types of pass available and the number days you will need to pay off your pass. Note all costs are based on the early bird pass pricing and is compared to the Edge Card daily rate for calculation purposes.
So all in all if you are going to ski or snowboard at Whistler / Blackcomb over 26 times it is worth it to get seasons pass. I usually ride about 40 to 55 days a season at Whistler so my seasons pass is well worth the money. If you don't planning on riding more than 26 days here are some options:
- More than 20 days but less than 26 = Get two 10 day Edge Cards and pay for single day riding with the card discount
- 20 days = Get two 10 Edge Card or one 10 day and ay for single day riding with the card discount
- 15 days = Get one 10 Edge Card and one 5 Edge Card. The 15 day pass doesn't seem to be worth the price.
- Less than 15 days = Get one 10 Edge Card and pay for single day riding with the card discount
Remember all these calculations are based on the early bird pricing and is dependent on the Whistler / Blackcomb Edge Card discount schedule. So remember visit the Whistler site or contact their customer service for more information or guidance. Please note the suggestions above or just that, so I am not liable for any loss of money if you purchase any of the passes mentioned above or changes to the pricing.
Hope you all have a great season and see you in Whistler.
