I'm still waiting to see what Killington does.

I already miss the ASC All For One pass. The $365 for the Bronze was just too good a deal to pass up!

I was close to buying the Gunstock season pass when it was $299, but I wasn't sure if I could make it there for the number of trips it would have taken to make it worthwhile...

I still like to go to a variety of places and, unfortunately, I don't get out to any place often enough to make a pass at any one worth it, so for next year I plan on getting some SkiNH passes for Pats Peak, Crotched, and Sunapee and I'll also pick up a frequent Skier Card for Sunapee. None of these places are all that challenging but they're good for families, they're less than 2 hours from home, and they all provide more consistent conditions in bad snow years.

I'm also hoping that Pats Peak will continue the AZ discounts next season...I was able to get in 4 nights last season using the discount, and even with the schools I was always able to get a lot of runs in.

...just a guess...

I have a hunch there will be some sort of bundling the two Maine areas with the something out West...for a substantial price...like old times north of Bethel....:roll:
How about Caesar Chavez purchasing both!! :) That would kind of shake up the gods of the Beltway...:smile:

Unbelievable as it may sound, the most reasonably priced pass for a major ski resort is Stratton or the Stratton-Okemo-Sunapee combo. Terrain and challenge may be wanting but these places can be counted on for snow in lean years, which, given climate change and other factors (the great late-season snow this year, notwithstanding) should be a consideration in pass purchases.

Sunapee really pushed the envelope on a late closing this year. Also, they were kind enough to leave chewbacca ungroomed in the mid april storm. MadPadraic gives them MadProps. I personally can't stand Okemo, but I think Stratton is given too much crap. To me, holiday weekends are a big deal; hence, I'm priced out of the SOS for this year.

I'm probably going to get a WaWa 5 day/7 night pass, but I'm waiting to see who operates Blue Hills next year. If it was, say, Sugarbush I would do that instead.

We've decided that Wildcat is getting at least one holiday weekend, so maybe we will opt for a restricted to somewhere in VT. It would be great if Sugarbush does the new graduate pass again, but we will see.

The magic one is also rather appealing (in addition to our MA passes), but we'd have to find a ski club with a lodge in southern vt.

Having had an ASC pass of some sort 8 of the past 10 years, This is my 1st year with a Stratton Pass - got the S-O-S midweek as I almost ride exclusivly during the week now. $279 wasent a bad deal I think.

Never been to Sunapee so this will be the year.....

For deep days, and subsequent days following those dumps - will gladly pay the $25 midweek for Magic tho :) Or pay for quality days at Smuggs, Bush, Burke, Bolton etc...the days when lake-effect buildis up quietly for weeks 3-4" a night....heh heh heh....now gettign all worked up :)

I don't have a pass yet. I may get Windham pass again in October or just some savings cards at various mountains.

I am thinking about a pass for a-basin if the offer the discount price with the 5 free days at breck keystone and copper and one day at vail. At the rate it was last season (somewhere around 200) even if I only get out there once it pays for itself.

you have to buy it out there i think (before a cetain date maybe?). copper is owned by a different company. this is a steal though.


if you know the deal let me know i'm curious about this.

3 Nor'Easter passes for me, my wife and 8 year old at Mount Snow. I also purchased a seasons pass for my 1-year old ($30). Usually there are some discounts on one day tickets for friends and such on this kids pass, so it easily pays for itself (or it has in the past). But I thought it would be cool for the scrapbook (my first season's pass at 1).

And like DrJeff . . . a DayCare annual pass
