Right where I want to be
Where are you skiing for this cheap!? Or what am I doing wrong?? I find with most of the discount cards that they will include at least 1 or 2 mountains that I will never make it to. Do you have some sort of secret? Just putting in the mileage to get to all the mountains? I usually feel pretty good when I get a lift ticket for 50 bucks. I guess maybe it is because I stick to the bigger resorts?

It isn't that hard. I just skied 7 days in Colorado/NM and averaged $31 a day. Skied 3 days at Saddleback/Sugarloaf for 29 a day. The deals are there to be found - you just have to look for them.

Burke is selling the Judge (Jay-Burke) pass for $699 for an adult. Prices are good until mid-May. The Burke-only pass does not go on sale until April 4th.

I'm not sure why they made the change to only selling the Judge Pass at first.

I bought another Killington midweek pass this weekend for the 14/15 season. $449 plus Killington Municipal tax of $4.49 & state tax of $26.94. Total cost was $480.43. With tax roughly $26 more than last seasons midweek pass. So far I got the daily price down to $15.12 this year & I'm not done yet.

edit: I spent way more at the umbrella bars this weekend than what it cost for me to ski.:grin:

I don't think that we will see any prices for Deer Valley, Alta, or Snowbird until late July as has been the case. PCMR is selling passes now and has said that there will be a "Wasatch Benefits Plan" for its passholders (free days between these named resorts). That's good for me as that is what I did...with a Snowbird pass.

Canyons (Vail) is doing sales on the Epic Pass now.

Snowbasin has MATCHED Canyon's Epic pass price and was doing an early sale through yesterday with "Powder Alliance" benefits.

We skied Cannon twice this season and out of the blue she asked if we should get the four mountain pass to ski Cannon, Waterville, Bretton Woods and Cranmore. So I need to do some math and probably start another thread!

Renewed our Jay Peak passes - 2 adults and 1 kid for 1477$. Based on our average number of days over the past few years (52), it comes down to about 11$/day for the adults and 5$/days for the kid.

Nope Jay only. We don't find the extra hour of driving is worth it. We go to Burke for Mountain biking ! Well worth the extra hour of driving !

I had the SuperPass this season, I skied Cannon for the First time in the end of January.After skiing Cannon all the others seemed....Well not as exciting. Im going with a Cannon only pass this year for $599 and saving some cash. I can always hit BW early season when they are not charging full price....Never had any interest in Cran or Waterville....Too much fun at Cannon !

Bought a Stratton Strattitude pass ($299 for people under the age of 30, no blackouts). I'm thinking I might as well get one of these under 30 passes while I am still young. Stratton's pass is about the cheapest on the market at only $299, plus they have good snowmaking for early season and are pretty easy drive from home. Not the most exciting mountain, but I figure I'll get 4-6 weekends out of it, plus I will probably finally get to make it to Magic at least once.

It also comes with $250 that can be used for lift tickets or lodging at other Intrawest resorts, so I am thinking of maybe going to Winter Park or Steamboat next March. In the end its a cheap enough pass that I'll still go to a few other mountains next year in addition to Stratton.

Noticed that Magic recently announced a midweek (Thurs, Fri, Powder Days) pass for $199....holiday blackouts.
Not a bad deal if you are local and can ski midweek. Pair that with a Pico $369 Thurs-Monday pass and you have 2 pretty sweet mtns for $568. If I lived say in the Ludlow area of VT and worked a job I could ski Midweek I'd be all over that.

Instead you have Cannon! Kind of - still 2 hours away right?
