pssh, the 5 mountain pass is way better, and steamboat is not a place you're going to be hitting up every weekend, it's kind of a trek (unless you're at CSU, then it's doable). 5 mountain pass is just much better, especially if you like park.

Ryan thinks he knows everything. The kid says he has a place to stay up there and that wasn't the question at all.

The earlier you get your pass the cheaper it is. Get it as soon as you see it for sale, then you can just wait for the season to start up and go.

yes. copper has good everything, but nothing great, though sometimes they slack on maintaining the park.

i read he has a place, but if he's going to school, the drive is still a pain in the ass, and should not be the reason that he gets the pass, just a perk for a weekend that's long or has no homework.

if you can buy passes now it can be at its cheapest, plus less lines in the spring to buy passes for next year than in the fall

they usually have buy one get one for copper/wp/sb if you open up a free student checking account at wells fargo. That makes it way cheaper. If you are planning on paying regular price the colorado pass is the way to go. But I wouldn't spend extra on vail/bc I've done that in years past and it wasn't really worth it.

if you already have it, you can renew online, otherwize no, you have to be there in person because you have to sign release waivers. you can buy it in the fall as well

Right now is the cheapest time to buy your season passes.... Most resorts will stop selling right after Memorial Day.  The resorts start selling again at Labor Day.  Lock in the lowest price now!

Good Luck!!

I wouldn't neccesarily believe this! I'm sure you could figure something out. Call Colorado Ski and Golf they are located in the Denver Metro area and they sell the 5 mtn pass. You could probably give them a cc# over the phone/fax for the pass and then take the pic/sign the waiver when you get here and pick it up.
