To Buy Epic Local Pass or not for next year?

So it is that time of year, when we buy our ski season passes for next year. I plan on TTC this summer, so should I buy my pass for next year or not?
How many of you guys skied while pregnant? I am a very advanced skier (I was a ski racer, ski instructor and ski racing coach). I am more likely to fall while walking than skiing. I cannot tell you how many times I have fallen while walking this winter alone.
Can I buy it now and cancel as we get closer if I decide I am just not feeling good enough to ski because of the pregnancy?
I just do not want to regret not buying the pass at its cheapest and then it takes me along time to get pregnant and then I could have skied.... grrr...

    Pregnancy can throw your whole balance off, so it's generally not recommended when you're pregnant. What are their cancellation/refund policies? Can you always resell to someone else? I tried my best not to NOT do things "just in case" I got pg, because I didn't want to put my life on hold not knowing how long it would take. Good luck!

    I would buy the insurance if you do get it so you can get a refund.  I am an experienced snowboarder and have taught for several years, but I took this past season off because of the pregnancy, just wasn't worth the risk to me or baby.

    Definitely buy the insurance. I opted to pass this year bc we are TTC and if I get pregnant, my winter sport will be snowshoeing and if not I'm going to just cough up the money for my pass :)

    Not worth the risk! Just because you are an experienced skier doesn't mean you can trust all the rest of the people on the mountain to ski-ride safely or smartly. I bought a copper/winter park pass for this year and luckily got insurance. Found out I was pregnant November 24th before I had gone up once & got all my money back

    I work in Breck so having a season pass has been a way of life for the last 15 years.  While TTC, since I didn't know if/when I'd actually be pregnant and how far along I might be in ski season, I would by the pass and pay the extra $40 (I think that's what it is) for pass insurance.  This allows you to get a refund on your pass if you end up pregnant and the timing is such that you won't use your pass.  I can't decide this year as I'll be due in Feb. so could potentially ride in March and April, but not really sure if I'll feel up to it yet.  Decisions decisions.

    FWIW the seasons when I was actively trying to conceive, if I did not yet know I was pregnant I kept snowboarding and snowskating as usual and my doctor did recommend any restrictions on physical activity.  This year is different because I will be 6 months when the resorts open.
