2016/2017 Season Passes

[drjeff]

I'll find out this Friday what Peak Resorts has done with my Nor'easter Pass for next season when their '16-'17 Pass Products pricing is set to be released.

If it's basically the same as last year (perks, pricing, etc) I won't be complaining.....

EU has some really problematic laws to get around. May have to open an office in Switzerland to get around the US corporate tax laws too.

I'm an EU citizen. Just give me your booze and I swear that I'll treat them responsibly.

Yeah, you do a great job following the deals. And it's definitely doable. The difference is number of days. With a season pass a can get 60+ days and really drive the price down. I don't think a can or would maintain that on vouchers/deals. But I may do that for weekends as an add-on to a mid-week pass.


We've been considering that too. Loon across the street, SR an easy hit, and friends we should visit more at SL. Throw in a Rocky Mtn trip and it makes a ton of sense.

Can't find any 2016/17 pricing for Max pass, anyone know what it was last year?

I wanna say $649 as an early buy that eventually went up to around $799....nice value if you can get around the East and do a trip out west.

I am hoping things pan out and I will be getting an Epic Pass - they announced that they new pass pricing will be announced in March. But it is March 1st nothing yet.

Historically Vail Resorts has rolled out prices for their Epic Pass the middle of March

I wish Mount Snow's prices were reasonable for people not aged 18-26.

Compared to the rest of New England, pass prices anywhere in Southern VT are expensive. Proximity to the NY market does that unfortunately.

I'd be happy if the pass price point for those aged 6 to 17 was the same as for those aged 18-26, not hundreds more

Southern VT problems. Join us in New Hampshire where crowds are smaller and prices lower. You'll never go back.

The plan was for a granite pass this season but the kids pulled the plug on that. Going to WaWa again next season for DEV, will pickup a Vertical Values card for my week in Bartlett. Maybe they will drop the price to $50 early spring again

Yeah, that's absurd.

The wife and I both had a Wachusett pass this season and it was great being able to go at nights after work and was very good for teaching her and for her learning to snowboard. Their snow isn't always the best, but its the best around and close. And hey, 2 powder days there this winter - I'll take that!

This was the first season in 3 I didn't have a pass there, they do a good job with what they have. Tough season everywhere ( not that everyone doesn't already know that ).

I do have a Ski Council membership for those extra days to keep me from going nuts, hopefully!!!

We are also Ski Council members, but have not used the memberships once this season due to limited weekend trips with this crap weather. I have used my Wachusett Pass discount at Mount Snow (50% off Sun - Fri) and used 1 of my VT Ski 3 passes so far (Killington).

This was my first year back at Wachusett in maybe 6 or 7 years. Not a whole lot has changed, but I can't complain too much about the job they did this year.

I absolutely see the logic in giving young professionals a price break and charging them less than kids. It keeps people in the sport so that they in turn introduce their own kids to the sport.

Those deals didn't exist when I was that age. I have numerous friends from high school who left the sport because they were priced out in that stage of their life. They got out of college, had loan debt, moved to high rent areas with better opportunity, but starting career pay and there just wasn't the money left over for skiing. Some of them ended up moving south seeing little point in sticking around for winters without a winter sport. They will never kick on skis again. Their kids won't either.

Many parents who are at an age with teenage kids are at an income level where they can afford to pay premium prices for their kids much more than a college graduate can afford to pay for themself at typical adult pass pricing. That's why the prices are structured how they are.

Oh it makes complete sense, we just all wish it were cheaper.;-)

I bought the Sugarbush "Four 20s" pass the first year they offered it. I figured for $300 for an unlimited pass even if I only went 2 weekends I would be ahead of the game. That was also the last year I was eligible for it. Well that pass purchase got me thinking and I ended up buying a condo before the season started that year. Best decision I ever made and I even told Win about my "success" story of him getting me to ski Sugarbush for the long haul. Now he gets a full price adult pass out of me (well full-price at the early purchase rate at least).

That said, if I was a parent, I'd be pretty annoyed anyway about how much some areas charge younger kids for a pass.

Targeting the young professionals with cheap passes though absolutely works and is great for the long-term viability of the sport. Really great long-range vision with that.
