Question For You: Was Your Investment In A Pass Worth It?
Or, Do You Regret Shelling Out The Bucks?
Here we are in mid-January. The Northwest has seen abundant snowfall, the West needs more, the East, well, there’s been some uneven days, and trail counts are down. And we have COVID restrictions in place, changing the experience for lots of visitors from getting to resorts to the hill experience. Even Pitkin County, CO, —home to Aspen—has just cancelled indoor dining and 
moved to 50 percent capacity on lodging due to a high incidence rate of the virus. Out of state visitors need to quarantine and/or show a recent negative test for traveling to Vermont, and New Hampshire, for example.
We know that many SeniorsSkiing.com readers have bought season passes. Ikon, Epic, resort specific, etc., there are myriad options available, all not inexpensive (unless you’re a veteran who can get awesome deals). And here we are: An okay snow year, constraints and restrictions, and about three-four months to go for this season, depending on where you are.

Snow In Literature: Interlude
By Linda Pastan
Credit: MD Maginn
We are waiting for snow
the way we might wait for a train
to arrive with its cold cargo—
it is late already, but surely
it will come.
We are waiting for snow
the way we might wait
for permission
to breathe again.
For only the snow
will release us, only the snow
will be a letting go, a blind falling
towards the body of earth
and towards each other.
And while we wait at this window
whose sheer transparency
is clouded already
with our mutual breath,
it is as if our whole lives depended
on the freezing color
of the sky, on the white
soon to be fractured
