Boyne is $359....9+ credits/sem. ID + letter from someone..

Graduate degrees don't count though if I recall correctly. Not sure if you're in a graduate setting for nursing or trying to get undergrad prerequisites for such programs.

Im only taking AP and one other class this semester. Alot of my credits from previous transfer so im starting sorta slow and just knocking out prereqs so i can hopefully get in the actual program next fall. The downside is most places wont consider that full time.

Definitely leaning to the cannon in state vet pass and maybe support some of the whalebacks and magics in between.

I did the exact same thing when I went back. I want to say Gunstock gave me a college rate on only six credits when I went back. I definitely wasn't FT. Not that I recommend it compared to the other inexpensive options you have as a Vet. Cannon has always tempted me and I do go each year a couple times. It's the three mountain option with Peaks that seals the deal for me. Especially with the North/South options. Two seasons ago, most of the big storms in NH ran south, so Crotched delivered more often than Wildcat.

Nights at crotched is a big sell.

Gunstock is sooo close to me but i would get bored pretty quick. Ive actually thought about hustling up some part time work there as my work gets real slow dec-mar. Then again if i can save enough real slow is good i suppose

Well you always have Tuesday nights at Gunstock which is 2 for 1. We had passes to Cannon and went to GS a few times at night. We also mixed it up with VT Ski 3 and The Ride and Ski card.

Sticking with the Epic Local and Rocky Mountain Super Pass+ I've used the last few years
I am toying with the idea of driving from VA to Whistler for a three week March trip and if I do I'll ski CO for a couple days coming and going.
Going back to school in nh for a few years so im definitely in the market for a pass...not sure which on. Fall semester is going to be too light for a college pass as ill have an Anatomy class that will crush me.

Maybe a nh in state veteran pass? Boyne has gotten a little pricy for my current budget unfortunately

Good luck in NH. Will miss your reports from the west.
Bump. Happy to say that my pass price remained the same as last year. I will be doing Alta/Bird. Same for my daughter. Wife is doing at least Alta but maybe Alta/Bird.

Some early price deadlines have passed. What have you done?
Think I may do same as last year (Bird ten-pack and EpicPass). My son is talking about part time instructing at Snowbird this year, but I don't think first year part timer will get him any perks he could pass on to me??

No. I think the increase in traffic will be minimal. Even if skier visits went up 50% at Wildcat, it would still be uncrowded. I just don't see it happening though because of location. Crotched will have some increased traffic too, but the longest I've ever waited for the Rocket on A Saturday is ten minutes and that was maybe only a handful of chair rides. I'm guessing the bulk of the increase will be felt at Hunter and Snow.

We should get together for a beer before you get started with school. I've got some Anatomy books and study materials that are only a few years old from when I was in school that you might find helpful.

Crotched and Wildcat can handle a lot more volume. The new pass is a price increase at Crotched, and essentially unchanged at AttiCat. I don't expect much to change.

Plus NH also got the new cheap Ragged pass. I wonder if that will do anything to the volume at Peak resorts in NH.

I was about ready to pull the trigger on the Peaks Ranger pass to make CM my home hill for next yr and then Ragged dropped that and my wife and I each got passes there. I do wonder how busy it may be this season up in Danbury as a result.
