2016/2017 Season Passes

[prsboogie]

This is a huge problem being I live in SouthEastern Mass. Everything is a 3+ hour ride, except Crotched/Wawa! I always run into an overnight if I want to ski two days in a row. It's just to expensive and exhausting to road trip two different mountains or two days at the same one without a hotel, which has its own expenses of course

Boyne New England Season passes...include skiing 3/14 this yr

Could be wrong, but didn't Boyne used to have a 18-29 pass for previous college pass holders? I think it was a bad deal though.

Wonder why they never got into the millennial game like other resorts. Maybe because of the semi monopoly in Maine?

I get incredible value out of the Granite Pass. Crotched is only an hour from home for me. And I spend my weekends at my ski club in North Conway. Wildcat is usually my goal, but Attitash adds a lot of value. There are many days when wind is an issue at Wildcat, and Attitash makes a great backup plan.

As far as Wildcat vs Cannon, I agree that I just barely prefer the terrain at Cannon over the Cat. However, the season is longer and prices lower at Wildcat. That sways the balance. I do get bar envy though.

Good point on the weather and Attitash.

Also bar envy. 9 seats isn't adequate. Plenty of space to double the size if they extended the bar out into the table areas. Do that, add some more taps and I'd be thrilled.

Pretty sure where I'll be getting a pass again next season. Oh yeah it's 5hrs. away on a good day, many days aren't good days. Long season too although I rarely ski early & only ski late once in awhile.

Kudos for counting the seats. I'm impressed.

The pass was for the first year post Graduation. I noticed it missing. I would probably have bought one.

The Gold pass is still a great Value imo. I am down to under $19 per visit currently. Should be under $14 a visit by seasons end. Oct to May.

Made that mental note on Sunday when all the seats were taken and several people were at nearby tables waiting for a seat. I often head in for a beer earlier at Wildcat than I would otherwise as if you're not there by 10:45 on the weekend, there's a good chance you'll miss out on a bar stool.

Sure, but then Sarah will bring you a beer, and she's a total sweetheart.

Very true

Also bar envy.

Disclaimer: I barely drink at ski area bars. Prefer muddy parking lots or my own living room.

I don't care for too much about Loon, but that Paul Bunyan Room has a good vibe, aesthetic, and scene for that matter. IMHO: best ski bar in NH

Edit: I've still never made it to the Zoomer Bar

I prefer Cannons bar to PB room.

I'll tell you what, if Boyne does the silver New England pass again with the cheap (299) Max Pass add on, if you want to ski around a bit that is the way to go. Sure we got blacked out of SR/SL/Loon holidays but we had full access to K/Pico/Stratton and Tremblant and used many days there. If one of the Max Pass Western resorts are on your visit list next season, makes for a great long ski season with multiple area options.

Zoomer Bar may be reopening in a couple of weeks.

I may too go for the Max pass add on, but still Gold from Boyne.
