2016-2017 Season Pass Plans

[ERJ-145CA]

I bought an unlimited pass for Mt. Peter in Warwick, NY for my kids, my wife and I. I ski with the family there at least one day each weekend that I'm off during the season. Their cheapest prices are in the spring, the sale ended May 31st. $229 for an adult pass and $199 for a junior.

In the fall I'll buy my weekday Mountain Creek pass, that's when they have their cheapest pass prices. I paid $249 for the last 4 years because I locked in when they had a 2012 election sale. Since I have a lot of weekdays off I ski there alone on weekdays quite a bit. It's only 10 minutes from my house.

Not from my own families experience (yet at least) but from other GREAT friends family experiences injury wise, Peak Resorts at least has a "doctor's note" ='s massively pro rated injury refund, even more so if your family is a long time, multi pass holding family!

Hopefully your daughter will make a quick and 100% recovery and be ready for Halloween on snow at SR!!

When I broke my leg at Mountain Creek in early January 2013 they gave me a full credit for my pass the next season with a note from my orthopedic surgeon.

I'm halfway through paying off two Peak Passes as of today. Planning on getting about 30-40 days out of the pass next season.

I should mention that a critical part of my plan is to buy a large value of Peak Resorts gift cards at the Boston ski show. I'll load them right onto my pass. They save 20% on everything you buy, including next year's season pass.

From what I understand I already get a 20% discount on retail purchases with the Explorer Pass.

Today is the last day for early season pricing on a Killington season pass in case anyone was thinking of buying one.

This is on top of any passholder discount. They sell gift cards for $100 that come loaded with $125 value. You can use them as regular gift cards or load them directly onto your pass (which I recommend -- can't lose them and don't need to carry them around). For example, that full tune at the shop regularly costs $35. Your passholder discount brings it down to $28. My weekly mug club special gives me an additional 10% off (offered about once per month) making it $25.20. With my gift card I am effectively paying $20.16 for my full stonegrind hand tune. Even without the mug club special I am paying $22.40 for that tune any day.

My second favorite deal is Crotched offers $15 lessons with a ski club discount. After paying with my gift cards, I am effectively paying $12 for a group lesson which gives me someone to follow me and point out all the ugly habits I have accumulated.

To bring it to the big picture, I spend $2,000 on gift cards every year. That gives me $2500 in value, saving me $500 over the course of the season. Of that I spend half of the value on season passes, and the other half on incidental purchases (lunch, stone grinds, and a lot of beer).

I am going to the Albany Ski Expo this fall instead of Boston, they are roughly equal distance from where I live, but Albany is easier to get to. I have never been to the Albany show, but Mount Snow will be there. From what I understand, there are more giveaways at the Albany show.

I went with Pico passes for the whole family.

I've never been to the Albany show. That might as well be the moon from where I live. I don't know if the gift card special is offered in Albany. I don't remembering hearing of it being offered there.

White Mountain Superpasses and whaleback... If I had the financial wherewithal I would have also purchased 299 ragged mountain season passes and/or the peak pass...

I was considering getting the $129 Otis/Butternut pass, but my son was not interested.

Don't, Albany is nothing compared to Boston, not worth driving 45 minutes to like I did this year.
