I see Sugarbush's prices posted on their site now. I want to say the Adult pass was under $1100 last year...so I'm not too thrilled about the increase after a crappy season like this...

2016/17 Rates:
Adult (30 - 64) $1,149
Senior (65 - 79) $619
Silver Senior (80 - 89) $149
Age 90 & Up FREE
Child (6 & under) $35
Youth (7 - 18) $349
For20s (19 - 29) $339

The Peak Pass makes prices like Sugarbush's really stand out. I know that Peak Resorts isn't a central/northern Vermont player, but it's still a tough pill to swallow. Sugarbush is lucky that the Burlington market has fairly limited choices.

Race brats should have to pay full freight.

Have you looked at what race team fees are at most resorts?

They made the cost of my kids season passes at Mount Snow, even before Peak did the dramatic drop from last years Nor'easter to this coming years Peak pass seem cheap!

I was in about $2500 a kid between their pass and race team coaching fees, ski club affiliation fees, state ski association affiliation fees and national US Ski team affiliation fees before I even thought about getting them any gear!!

Race kids are some of a mountains most profitable customers

Picked up the Maxx Pass. Plus I'll still get a Cannon pass. I'm picking up the Maxx Pass for my nephews too, so that will get me to places like Wachusett that I might not otherwise go to.

Maxx Pass is pretty hard to beat. Even if I primarily ski Cannon I figure I will get:
- 10 days at Killington and SR (5 each) during early and late season when Cannon isn't running, or when conditions are better there.
- At least one weekend at Sugarloaf.
- At least one weekend at Tremblant.
- 5 Loon days. It's right across from my house. I usually don't go because of ticket prices. But if I have they're already paid for I certainly will use them
- A few weeknights at Wachusett
- Probably a day or 2 at Alyeska since I travel to AK for work a lot.
- At least a few days in UT or CO.

So probably >20 days on that pass for $599.

I'm right there with you Alex. I figure between Stratton, K, Pico, Loon (maybe I PM you for a few turns) and Sunday River I get 15. Add 2 at Copper, 2 at Winter Park for a trip out to see the boy in Denver, then 2 Brighton, 2 Solitude for the annual Utah trip and its a good deal for me. Oh yeah and the CBK pass so I can practice to keep up with guys like you and my boy.

Just renewed my Peaks pass. Decided to go with the Ranger pass as I can just ski Crotched during the 11 blackout days. That puts me in for $160 cheaper than this year. I'll use the savings to buy a VT 3 pack and make it back to VT next year.

Wise move. Best $500 you can spend.

I'll end up with the Explorer as well. It pays for itself in two holiday visits. Rather than brave the crowds I'll just to go Wildcat on those days.

that's my backup plan but we usually end up at Mt Snow for Christmas break so i'll be covered there even if we just get a few hours in each day.

I'm not sure if this has been posted, but Otis Ridge is offering a non restricted season pass for $129.00 that includes a 50% non holiday lift ticket discount at Bosquet and Butternut. This offer is good until 4/15/16.
