From this list, I see your problem. It is not Killington, it is their owner/operator as all their resorts are the same with this.

Surprised Deer Valley isn't included since Solitude is owned by them & is included.

I think it is included only because they co-pass big cottonwood with Brighton. Deer Valley is probably left off as they likely market and position it different than Solitude.

What you have been waiting for, Maxx Pass update:
M.A.X. Pass - Better Than Ever
With five days each at a total of 32 North American resorts, the value of M.A.X. Pass keeps growing. Even better, M.A.X. Pass Add-on is now available with Killington Midweek, Blackout, 4.0 College and Unlimited Season Passes.
I'm going to seriously consider this now.

Might even see me at the Loaf this year.

If I thought I'd get 15+ days in this year, i'd do it! definitely the first pass in a while that I've considered..... few more years of on the cheap until I pull the trigger I think....

Hmmm...never heard Killington referred to as "the Loaf" before. ;-)

A friend and I are trying to talk a couple of other friends into buying this. I want it but I'd like to have others ski ski with.

It's almost as good as the old ASC "All For One Pass" albeit a bit more expensive. Yes I hit up all 6 areas the "All For One Pass" was good for when I had it, even the Loaf. I've never skied at Loon or Sunapee so might give them a shot this year.

Debating getting this for the wife and I with 2 caveats:
1 - We don't have a viable season pass to use it with. We'll get Wachusett Bronze Passes, but only the Weekend or Gold works and neither are worth the extra cash.
2 - If we go to Colorado it may be worth it to use 5 days at Copper/Steamboat/Winter Park and then try and use another ~10 between Killington, Stratton, Sugarloaf, Sunday River, etc.
I reached out to Wachusett and asked if I could pay MORE for our Bronze Passes so that we could hit the min. price for the season pass to make it a M.A.X. Pass Add-On... their response-time so far has been abysmal.

Still might be worth getting an upgraded Wachusett pass since a MAX Pass add on $350 less than buying just a MAX Pass.

Technically, yes, I suppose so. However, still doesn't seem at all worth it.
M.A.X. Pass alone - $650
M.A.X. Pass Add-On - $299
Wachusett Bronze Pass - $279
Wachusett Gold Pass - $569
Wachusett Bronze + MAX - $928
Wachusett Gold + Add-On - $868
Seems like about a $60 difference. I am asking Wachusett if it is possible to pay $300 for the Bronze Pass, since that appears to be the cut-off for the Add-On. The problem we have is that with the Wachusett Gold pass, we'd only use it 1-2 more times than the Bronze because it only adds Weekends and no-blackouts, which are days we wouldn't be at Wachusett anyways. Weekends are so packed there, it isn't worth going. On the weekends, we day-trip up North. We use the Wachusett Pass during the week to get some turns in after work.

The selection is outstanding and literally impossible to use all tickets up in a season. I won't even hit 1/2 the areas on it (or for that matter use 1/2 the available tickets )and I've got what I consider to be a big time season planned both east and west.

From a New England Perspective alone it is looking really good - Killington, Pico, Stratton, Okemo, Sunapee, Loon and Sunday River are all fairly easy to get to. Then add a weekend at Sugarloaf, throw in a day at Wachusetts for shits and grins and a weekend at Tremblant. That can get you 40 days alone. Skip the last mentioned and take a trip out west and it becomes even sweeter.
Dang!

I broke down and got a Wachusett Pass with the M.A.X. Pass Add-On. Now... where to go?! Copper/Steamboat/Winter Park? Kicking Horse/Fernie?
Wachusett pass prices go up today, but if you're part of a club you have until November 16th. If anyone wants to join my group, feel free to send me a PM.

Mt St Anne was added yesterday. I will be there at least once this year.
