Which 2012 Season Pass for You?

thetrailboss · Apr 13, 2011

So now is the time to buy season passes for many places at the lowest prices. Where are you going to be next season? Any deals that you know about or special promos?

For those thinking of Sugarbush, you have the usual options (ME, ME +, All Mountain 7) and they are doing the referral program where for every new passholder you bring to the mountain you get credit (in the form of cash).

Burke does a payment plan through the summer.

Pico I think is running their killer deal.

As for where I be, well, stand by for a big surprise.

Gunstock for me - $379 if purchased before May 2nd.

but as has been the case for the past few years, I'll be loading up on vouchers and skiing all over

Cannon and no need to go other places unless it is cheap.

Good deal. If you lived in NH you could get that pass for a great deal. But IIRC the pass price for out of staters is not too bad.

How come the Bush doesn't do a blackout pass?

It is about $150 more for out state. But it has no blackout which is good. It is getting close to everyone else though at $729.

I was actually thinking of going pass-less next season. Got going on a good bc tear in Feb and March and figured I'd save the money and splurge on a Stowe or Jay vacation or ski out west. That plan lasted for two weeks.

What's going to happen is that I'll re-up for a silver New England Pass. Hard to beat an October to May season pass which has the convenience of Loon, the snowmaking and quick bad weather recovery at the River (with great glades to boot) and the pure awesomeness of the Loaf. Plus, management at the River has treated me well these past few years. Does your mountain take its patrons to baseball games during the summer? Mine does.=)

Take care of your customers and your customers will take care of you.

Good topic. I have been giving this a lot of thought the past few weeks. Being down near NYC, having 2 small girls and wanting to keep the home mt. to within a day trip distance for the girls (~2 hours) and I don't want to break the bank and I hate crowds...both on hill and liftlines...I am seriously considering getting passes for the 4 of us at plattekill.

I am so tired of catamount...where I've been the last few yrs with my kids. It is close for me...100 miles 100 mins. Plattekill is a full 2 hours. Can't compare the terrain...my only hesitation is that I hope platty can blow enough early season or to recover after an ncp event in a lean snow year.

I have been contemplating this for a while. I have been a long time K skier and certainly feel as though it has been my home mountain. I love the terrain and don't like the management (like most K skiers). However, I have been looking at other options lately as the prospects for K look well... bleak. The problem is that the only other places in VT I would consider are Sugarbush and Jay. Jay is just too far (4 hrs). Sugarbush is 3 hrs, which is a hike but I would consider it if I could spend $700 or so on a pass instead of the full $1,050. Especially with the increasing costs of gas and 45mins extra travel time.

So most likely I will be doing the K blackout again. I may also throw in a Sundown midweek pass and do bumps once a night during the week.

Full season Gore/Whiteface here.
This season I had one purchased at Whiteface and skied Gore 95% time, got next season's pass already at Gore, I think i'll ski Whiteface more next year

Pow Mow-maybe midweek and maybe a snowbird pass assuming I can get a decent part time night gig in one of the hotel restaurants

roark · Apr 13, 2011

Probably just the Magic pass next season, plus a couple skiVT 3pks and follow the snow and deals. Assuming I pass this damn exam I'll have a lot more time to ski next year :daffy:

so coming back to New England was just temporary huh? If I had the chance I'd prob head to Utah as well, just not sure I could handle the not skiing part of living in Utah

It was just a one winter kind of thing from the beginning. I may come back here in the summers. I have lived in SLC area before, I get along with Mormons ok for the most part. All religions are kooky as hell to me

.

I plan on taking it as it comes, six month commitments only for now.

Gunstock again for the family and probably a bronze WaWa pass for me.

Already purchased my Blue Mountain pass for next season.

WWF-VT · Apr 14, 2011

All Mountain 7 at Sugarbush. Both of my kids are now over 12 so I won't be getting the free kid pass with the purchase of an adult pass. It's still a great vaule for the youth pass at $319 when most other mountains charge $600+ once your kid is older than 6.
