2016/2017 Season Passes

And yet the lift saga goes on at Sugarloaf... buy a pass there why? Whiffletree gear box, gets rebuilt late in the season startup, doesn't get reinstalled until Christmas/New Years? Lasts 2 months. Back for another rebuild and the lift down for the next 1 to 2 weeks.

I definitely feel Boyne needs to do more at SL to explain and rectify the infrastructure problems they've had.

I'm hedging my bets on sarcasm *please*

It is a deal still compared to the Beast's pass prices. May not be sarcasm.

Boyne has old lifts all over the map. Look at Big Sky, Challenger went down and out early February taking out a ton of terrain to lap continuously. The difference is they make lots of $$$ there so it will be replaced with a new (seat config yet to be locked) fixed grip carpet loader. That is in addition. to replacing Lone Peak Triple with a HSQ and finishing a never finished lift on the Moonlight side. Still, they have a ton of old there. AMD many of the Driver's lifts are getting along in age.

I would not have guessed Big Sky to make them a ton of money. Everyone I've known to ski there talks about how dead it is. Good summer business?

The lack of crowds may have to do with there not being very many locals. That probably means very high revenue per customer.

I consider my Beast pass to be a deal. $449+tax. Granted it's midweek only but still a deal in my book. I think the early purchase Blackout pass is not to much more than Boyne's Blackout. A deal in my book considering the areas offered. I have no interest in skiing Mt. Snow, Hunter, Crotched or any of the PA. areas. Only worthwhile resorts on Peak's pass are the two MWV resorts. Killington/Pico or Sugarloaf/Sunday River beats anything Peak has to offer.

Stratton just posted their 2016-2017 pass pricing. Slightly higher than 15'-16' but still a great value.

Summit Pass - No Blackouts - Early Access - $1279
Spirit Pass - No Blackouts - $899
Value Pass - Blackouts (12/24-12/31, 1/14-1/15, 2/18-2/20) - $449
Midweek Pass - Blackouts (12/26-12/30, 2/20-2/24) - $319
Sunday Pass - Blackouts (12/25,1/15,2/19) - $219

How is Stratton at $899 a great value when Mt. Snow is $599 and includes six other resorts?

The value pass is the value. I wouldn't want to ski Stratton on the blackout days anyway. Besides with my geographic location additional travel cost to ski at all the Peak resorts would out weight the added "variety." Basically I would be spending an extra $150 bucks to ski at Mount Snow without blackouts. The Peak Pass is a great deal don't get me wrong.

They are on crack if they expect people to pay that compared to Peaks down the street.

Holy crap, the Ranger is $50 cheaper.

I'm so tempted to buy a Peak Pass... I wonder how useful it'll be this Spring though with the warm weather rolling in.

Must realize the only people buying are really estate owners and race team members. Captive audience

I'm surprised they're going to make it after this year

 

[prsboogie]

They need to hook up with Cranmore/Bretton Woods/Cannon/Waterville - now that would be a great pass too!

 

[deadheadskier]

Even more so than Black, I think Shawnee Peak should hook on to the Superpass.

 

[bigbog]

I paid less than $550 at sugarloaf for 2013/4

Must've been the Bronze....it's a heck of a markup to ski with any weekenders eh'....... They get away with murder in their pricing schemas = No Competition....but for weekend outdoor exercise, until the woods get good cover, what is one to do....
Local's Wednesdays are nice if you can make the time.

I'd love to see some smaller/mid sized mountains get onto the pass. I think it would help a ton too with sales.

Gunstock flies solo on the season pass game. Is Ragged the same? I wonder how those two would work together on a pass.
