Go for the half price heli-ski deal. Take out a loan if you have to.

 B and I have been playing the waiting game as well. We have only until September 8 ( I think) to pull the trigger on the 11th annual epic pass. But, if the US border remains closed that woukd mean two trips to whistler this year, which sounds pretty sweet until you realize that timeshare tradeability into Whistler is pretty much non-existent and which doubles the cost of the trips for us compared to Vail, Utah or Tahoe. 

However we are *this close * however to pulling the trigger on the half price Canadians-only deal to Last Frontier Heliskiing for March. Once in lifetime trip opportunity and pretty much a no-lose proposition. If the border opens, we run the 18th annual  cat/heli trip with our American comrades and we get a full refund of the Last Frontier deposit. If the border stays shut we substitute LFHeli for the annual cat trip

Of course, we could book back to back weeks and cross our fingers for both....;-)

I, on the other hand, have been holding out.  This thread made me check out what we were going to do next year. After 2  years of Epic passes, it looks like our family will probably be going back to Smuggs.  But serious consideration was given to sticking to backcountry this year.
