2016/2017 Season Passes

[Jcb890]

But to make parents not have their kids learn how to ski or enroll them in a school program? Not in Massachusetts, especially near Boston. I personally think the aging customer base and just less of an interest in skiing in general would be to blame.

I agree that those other factors are most likely to be the root cause.

Without getting this too far off topic and talking about the economy, taking inflation into account, people make less today on average.

Okay back to Crotched vs. Wachusett...

That's what people say on the news, do you have proof of it?

Inflation is nil right now, lift tickets excluded.

Agree to disagree then. This is a '16/'17 Season Pass thread... I'm sorry I brought it up.

"do you have proof of it?" What do you want him to show you? Take it easy dude...

I'll bite, yes I have proof. Just in the last 12 months I've lost $37 dollars per week. And that is after a 3.4% raise. Please don't drink the Kool-Aid, the economy is not as great as many would like you to believe. 250 laid off from my employer (the second largest employer in the State of RI) and threatening 100-150 more in the next two fiscal quarters.

Again, back to the 16'-17' Pass topic!

And in my house we've seen HUGE increases in salary over the last year. What's your point? As a whole the economy is doing great. We've seen steady improvement over the last 7 years.

Good for you. I haven't and many I know haven't as well. That's not to say I'm hurting or in trouble but it's a day trip's worth of gas every week. I see people day in and out who cannot find work. Maybe Boston and New York are doing well but there is a lot of area in between that is not. Again this isn't the forum for this discussion.

Berkshire East - $199
MRG/Bush - ~$325

^score!!

^score!!

I think the biggest score is living in Hippy Valley and not moving hours away from everyone!

Economy is doing fine, but let's not pretend like inflation does not exist.

Wonder how limited the quantities are that they have available. Probably set up such that they do not sell a million of the things and have horrendous crowds.

Sunday River, Loon, Sugarloaf $415 for a bronze pass if bought by end of April. Weekdays only, no holidays or school vacation weeks. You know, when it's too busy to want to be there anyways.

Silver pass is $709 with 13 blackout days (the 13 busiest days of the year, while Gold (unlimited) $1,049.00.

At those prices Silver almost looks reasonable.

If I were a Boyne pass holder, I definitely wouldn't want to see lower pricing. As you mentioned they have major weekend capacity issues at Loon and also Sugarloaf IMO. I would not want to see an increase in skier visits if I skied regularly at either of those two mountains. Sunday River spreads the crowds well even on major weekends. There an increase in business wouldn't be so bad.

I was talking to a couple of Mt Snow pass holders who were furious about the new Peaks Pass for this very reason.

I would be pissed too if I were a Mt. Snow skier.
