If I read this right, you could get 3 free days each at Smuggs and Mad River Glen included in this $149 deal.

I read it the same way. 6 MRG/Smuggs tickets for $149 is a great deal. Best deal since Mt. Bohemia and the Freedom Pass.

hope everyones having a nice summer
came in here to ask about this deal
do we know about blackouts and weekends for smuggs and mrg? said tbd on silverton's page. silverton said on facebook they will confirm vt details this week, but i'm pretty eager to lock this down. useless for me midweek tho.

Saw this on another forum. What a sweet deal. I already pulled the trigger on the Loveland pass, which has a fair bit of overlap (though the combo would give me 6 days at each overlapping resort), but this may be too sweet to pass up. Smuggs and MRG are great East Coast partners. The one time Heli drop and one partner resort day make the pass worth it.

Per silverton Facebook chat
Smuggs Blackout Xmas week, mlk weekend, pres week
MRG provided verbal commitment of no blackouts but silverton has been having difficulty reaching someone to confirm

They updated their webpage for the NE blackouts:

Looks like the pass doesn't work at MRG on weekends. OTOH, looks decent for Smuggs.

pretty annoyed about this. they told me that MRG gave verbal indications of no blackout dates, and i bought it. now its not only holiday blackouts (no big deal and to be expected), but weekend blackouts. this makes this a much less attractive deal for me. it does result in me planning on taking a friday and a monday off to use the damn thing (friday mrg, sat sun smuggs, monday mrg), but i'm so loathe to take vacation dates to ski the east when i have such lofty western ski goals.
while i'm here, i'll also say that i've booked an airBNB near winter park for december 23-29, and flights for MLK weekend to denver as well as the ramada in frisco for $160/night.
my ikon pass is only good at copper and winter park for the holidays, and i got MLK flights for $170 round trip at the exact times i need, so i figured why not. the airbnb is refundable if xmas ends up snowless.
i also may ACTUALLY GO TO SILVERTON, and monarch (freebies with the silverton pass) in late march/early april. my denver buddy bought too and is all about the heli drop and ridge hikes.

Monarch is a lot of fun. Old school, no people, and good snow. You should go if you can.
