depends on the town. The amount I will be saving in income taxes moving over from Maine more than offsets the higher real estate taxes. There's no doubt NH real estate taxes as a percentage are high, but not by that much compared to surrounding states, especially when you factor in the higher property assessments in Southern NE.

I just read our monthly skiclub rag, and membership is up since last season, looks like clubs will benefit from higher gas, for sure.

Sundown - bump comp
too many to list, but I hope to enjoy at least 8 different areas total, hopefully more

UPDATE:

Check goes in the mail tomorrow for my ski club tickets. Should I get them all, which I believe I will with the new club purchasing format; this is how my season is looking to turn out

Definite:

Tenney (season pass)
Wildcat ( definitely 1 day there, probably more)
Mount Washington will see me at least once in the spring

Stowe - 1
Mad River Glen - 2
Pico - 2
Smuggler's Notch - 2
Burke - 1

The VT areas will be done in 4 weekend trips: Smuggs/Stowe, Smuggs/Burke, (2) MRG/Pico

Also will be getting a Ski and Ride New England Card. If it's like last year, that means 1 midweek Black ticket and (2) other NH areas, typically 1 larger area and 1 smaller area.

Possibly / Hopefully:

Sundown (1): January Bump Comp
Stowe (2): If they have a ski club appreciation weekend like years past in March and I'm able to make it up
Cannon: Superbowl Sunday deal
Sunday River / Sugarloaf (2): Warren Miller tickets and/or last day of the season free at Sunday River

Season Totals:

Minimum of 21 days out at 8 areas. A very solid season besting last years days out with the same amount of variety.

Maximum of 26-30 days at 14 different areas. An incredible season for me in terms of days out and variety.

BRING ON 08'-09'!!!!!

It was very gratifying filling out my deposit check for the club tickets today

It REALLY depends on the town. Towns with big tax base and few children in the school system are very low. Moultonboro and New Castle are roughly the same stupidly low tax rate as Carrabassett Valley, Me.

Sundown (pass)
Magic
SugarBush
MRG
Hunter
Sunday River
Some where out west (Whistler is currently in the lead)

I think we will be doing Sundown alot this year with the way gas prices are going. Last winter we were in VT almost every weekend, doubt that will be happening this season. But I will keep my fingers crossed
