Mt Snow is offering a new 1826 Season pass this year for $319 if you purchase before December. No blackout dates IIRC. So of course I bought myself one and wouldn't you know an even better pass was released right after the purchase...:banghead: a dual mountain 1826 Season Pass for Mt Snow and Stratton is available for $349. Pissed I didnt just get that one instead. No blackout dates as well. The dual mountain pass price goes up after October 15th.

(Both passes for ages 18-26 only)

Can you apply your payment to the combo pass? Seems like good business to allow you to. It would be worth a phone call.

They might upgrade it for the additional $30. Worth asking.

Good for you! I would have been surprised if they had said no. I've been to Stratton several times, never to Mt. Snow. I can think of other mountains in VT I'd prefer to ski, but for $349, that's a hell of a deal. Have fun, and welcome to the forum.

Mountsnow is worth checking out they have nice glades and steeps on North face, there expert stuff I think is better then Okemo or Stratton expert stuff.

Ive been to Mt Snow a ton and Stratton only once so far. Their both good, Mt Snows north face section is a good seperated place dedicated to black diamond slopes and theres numerous bars littered all over the mountain if you want to stop and grab a drink :D:beer:

The Carinthia park has plenty of stuff if you're into that as well

Any idea if Pico is going have a similar deal as they did last year with the P38 ticket.

A discounted K58 for mid week and if you upgrade it for the the weekend or peak period it equals the K58 deal. Great deal if you can swing a weekday!

You bet it's a good deal. I'd have to get a dozen days on my midweek pass to equal that deal & that's at the early purchase price. I don't think I'll have a problem beating it unless of course I re-injure myself this year.

Smuggs has a Bash Badge. $99 for 4 lift tickets with no blackouts.
http://www.smuggs.com/pages/winter/skiride/pass-store/index.php

I don't think this is what it means. Buying a Bash Badge for $99 then allows you to buy full day tickets for $25 or afternoons for $15. It's like a disconunt card Smuggs uses to raise cash prior to services being rendered. It's confusing the way it's worded as it does sort of imply that its a $25 ticket.

Bash Badge seems like a good deal if you plan to ski fewer than 18 days @ Smuggs (assume full days vs cost of $529 season pass)
If it were me I'd updade to the Bash Badge + and get early/late season paid for then work down the per visit cost by going in the afternoon for $15 once those lift lines dies down.

Regardless, Smuggs is an amazing mtn and would be my home mtn if I lived up in N VT.
