At roughly $118 for a peak-window day ticket at Lake Louise, it pays for itself at about 10 days on the hill, and this mountain typically delivers 4 powder days a season. Ski fewer than 10 days and day tickets are cheaper; ski more and the pass wins. Note that Mountain Collective ($699) also covers Lake Louise for 2 days, so compare both.

- About 10. That is $1,093 divided by the ~$118 peak-window day ticket. The table on this page shows the cost per day at 3, 5, 8, 12, 20 and 30 days so you can find your own crossover.
