Sometimes pricing makes no sense.

The "Freedom Pass" is a $50 add-on that allows season pass holders at the following resorts to have reciprocal skiing privileges: Dartmouth Skiway, Black Mountain, NH; Granite Gorge, NH; Bolton Valley, VT; McIntyre, NH; and Ski Ward, MA.

Here is what a "Freedom Pass" will cost you based on location:
Dartmouth Skiway: $495
Ski Ward: $545
Granite Gorge: $450
Bolton Valley: $619
Black Mountain: $675
McIntyre: $250

Here is an article explaining the pass: http://www.sentinelsource.com/busin...cle_6345025c-2b4b-5a7d-bb7e-f97907d284c3.html

So buy a McIntyre season pass and ski all six - why buy a season pas say BV?

Why would anyone buy a season pass at anywhere besides McIntyre if they were doing this?

I got to agree, that doesn't make much sense. Maybe its the added benefits that come with a bolton season pass. You get a pretty good discount on lodging and access to the nordic and fitness center. Bolton's price also includes the freedom pass, still ends up $250 more expensive. If you end up spending $1,250 on lodging, rentals and lessons, you made it the same as McIntyre's cost.

That pass is somewhat tempting but I dont think I would do it. I've long wanted a night skiing option I could hit for some runs on my way home from work and if McIntyre was even 100' of vert bigger (say Nashoba size) I would go for it.
Just seems way too small to serve that purpose and the others are too spread out to do day trips. Dartmouth and GG have some cool terrain but are a haul, from where I live.

Last couple of yrs Skiway and Ragged had a $50 pass receiptocity arrangement that I believe also included midweek access to Middlebury, S6, Ward, Cochrans?
