Analysis in April this year revealed that United States adult day ski lift prices were the highest in the world - see 2009 Annual Lift Prices Survey.
Possibly demonstrating that adult day ski lift prices alone may not always provide optimal comparison data, six United States resorts are offering what they call the Epic Pass; an unlimited season pass for the six resorts of Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Heavenly and Arapahoe Basin. The price of the Epic Pass is US$599 for adults, meaning a break-even point of about seven peak season days.
The Super Pass offered in Australia enables access to Falls Creek, Hotham and Perisher. The full price of the Super Pass is A$1,299 for adults; which means a break-even point of about 13 peak season days, based on a A$97 adult day lift pass. The discounted price for the 'early bird' Super Pass was A$1,099 for adults; which means a break-even point of about 11 peak season days.

'Super' must mean something that is 40% more expensive than 'Epic', but valid at just half the number of places. The only real surprise is that the 'Super Pass' wasn't labelled the 'Iconic Pass.'
