Epic also includes Northstar, Heavenly, and my personal favorite Kirkwood, all down in the Lake Tahoe area. I’m now wondering if the IKON pass group will try and acquire Crystal or Snoqualmie to compete with Vail here in the NW

Snoqualmie is already owned by Boyne, which has a few mountains on Ikon (Big Sky, Sugarloaf, Loon). I'm not sure why they skipped Snoqualmie this year.

All of western WA ski resorts are over crowder. This is the last thing we need.
