At roughly $100 for a peak-window day ticket at RED Mountain, it pays for itself at about 13 days on the hill, and this mountain typically delivers 15 powder days a season. Ski fewer than 13 days and day tickets are cheaper; ski more and the pass wins. Note that Ikon Base ($1,019) also covers RED Mountain for 5 days, so compare both.

- About 13. That is $1,213 divided by the ~$100 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.
- RED Mountain season pass vs Ikon Base: which is better?
- Ikon Base ($1,019) only covers 5 days at RED Mountain. If RED Mountain is your home mountain and you ski it a lot, the $1,213 local pass pulls ahead; if you travel to several of the megapass's resorts, it doesn't.
