Season Pass Roll Call

[hardline]

same thing as last year. pass at MC. unfortunatly we haven't got things together for the project in stowe, so no pass there but at least 20 days. saw a buddy tonight that i rode with all winter and after many beers we came to the conclusion that we each only had lift lines on 2 days this past season at MC.

JF may be smaller in vert but 1) The snow is better and 2) I can ski trees without having my pass clipped. In fact they encourage tree skiing. They're even thinning out the trees even more this summer for a better glade experience this upcoming winter. That puts it over the top for me. If you stay on the map at JF it can get boring but I can explore Jack Frost which is something that can't be done at CB which keeps me entertained. Just my opinion

I will give you the natural snow because of elevation and location. I also like that JF dosen't have night skiing so the snow stays better. We actually have a house at Arrowhead Lakes which is closer to JF then Camelback. But my opinion is that the terrain at Camelback is better and natural snow in the Poconos is marginal at best. Camelback certainly knows how to pump out snow and every year I have been there manages to get the entire mountain open. The nightlife and location is better for me since my home in Jersey is close to route 80. I can easily hit it from both houses. I keep a locker there and if it gets too zooish stop skiing. 1st two hours in the morning are never crowded. Usually after presidents week the crowds drop significantly even on the weekends and the spring there is great. As far as trees I am lucky enough to travel west and to N New England every year and save that stuff for there.

Do you ever ski Blue mountain? Alot of former Camelback passholders make Blue mountain their home

Just Wachusett. Advantage of that is the discounts at Sugarbush and Okemo.

edit: Thinking about switching to Catamount this year

Are you closer to Catamount or Sundown? Catamount is a good hill with better (steeper) terrain, but they're not all that aggressive in terms of making snow. Sundown kills them on the bump front too.

No, but it's only a 15 minute difference. Sundown's season pass is $160 more than Catamount's and I don't feel it's worth the additional cost.
