The 5x7® Pass Celebrates its 10th Season with 10 Weeks of Continued Discounts

Blue Mountain Resort celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the 5x7® Pass by extending  pre-season discounts for another 10 weeks. That's right, during the  next 10 weeks, the 5x7® pass will continue to be sold at a reduced  rate; however, each week the pass will increase in price by $10.00  (+HST).

In 2002, Blue Mountain introduced the 5x7® Pass as a new, dynamic  option for skiers and snowboarders. The introduction of the 5x7® Pass  not only changed Blue Mountain's operations, but had a huge impact on
 skiers and snowboarders in Ontario.

The Pass provided an affordable, high value bridge between the traditional Night Pass and Full Pass options. The Pass opened up  access for more riders that were looking for flexible and affordable  options.  As a result, "the Resort saw a flood of Passholders from  outside the traditional snow or ski belt," said Paul Pinchbeck,  Director, Marketing, Blue Mountain. "The Pass is popular among locals and guests from the GTA, not just because of the great value, but  because it provides access for night skiing seven days and day skiing  midweek when the mountain is less busy."

Since its inception, the 5x7® Pass has represented more than 80 per  cent of all Passes sold.  "We now see other resorts taking on the same  model," added Pinchbeck.  The Resort also attributes some of its  growth and mountain upgrades such as new lifts, expansion of night skiing, grooming and snowmaking to revenue and demand generated  through the popularity of the 5x7®  Pass.

In celebration of its 10th Anniversary, the Resort will continue the  pre-season sale of the 5x7® Pass at $209 (+HST) beginning November 5,  2012.  The price will then increase by $10.00 (+HST) every Monday at
 12 a.m. until it reaches its regular season rate of $299 (+HST) on  January 7th, 2013.

Many weather experts are predicting colder weather in the forecast  this season. In addition to the positive forecast, Blue Mountain also  made new snowmaking upgrades for the 2012/13 season.  The new upgrades
 increase snowmaking capacity by 10 per cent, and also allow the Resort to make more snow at warmer temperatures - as high as -2°C.
