I'd call the mountain directly. I've never brought any kids so I don't know. Looking at the lift tickets page I understand your confusion.

Edit: Just checked Mt Snow's page. They charge $5 for 5 and under. That may be your answer.

Family vacation next week at Attitash, will report back on the kids pass issue. Planned the trip several months ago, was going to spend $400 on tickets for the week, plus buy Granite passes for next year. Glad I waited for the last minute to buy the tickets, guess my $500 plus savings can cover a $60 kids pass.

Be smart about this. If you buy online, it will ask you for your home mountain. It says this is where you will pick up your pass. However, it also gives you the option to mail the pass to your house. (see the FAQ)

Everyone should buy through one of the NH mountains. Why? Your sales tax is based on the home mountain. Buy from Attitash, Crotched, or Wildcat and you pay no sales tax.

If I were a Mount Snow or Hunter skier I would not be happy about this pricing. I would expect substantial increases in crowds at already very busy areas.
Jwhat I was just say ing fun day at Bell today. I like both places but how many more passes will be sold for winter. Hopefully I get o. 2 shift and ski hunter . week next year.[emoji2]

I bet just like any where else, sales tax is where it's shipped to.

I might have to convince my kids to take lessons at Crotched next year instead of Wachusett. These prices are great, Wawa gold 559 all ages, Peak 599 and 399 uh Duh this is a no brainer for me.

Seems like an easy bribe. Take them to Mount Snow or Wildcat on a beautiful spring day and say you can have all this or Wachusett.

So after showing them the trail maps again and that they can do park lessons at Crotched they signed on enthusiastically!!! Peaks it is! $400 up front and a payment plan makes it even easier!

Is the unlimited spring option only available for the Explorer Pass or also available for the Ranger Pass?

Nice! Planning on getting out much on the pass before the season is through?

I hope to, this weekend is shot for me but Im hoping to get out to Crotched next weekend if they can stay opened. If not then Snow I guess. And if by some some change all the f#$king snow doesn't melt by the 18th I want to try to get up to Conway for the weekend, Attitash and Wildcat is my plan. We will see!!

Sugarloaf up to $709 for silver pass? Got to be fucking kidding me! That's almost $200 increase in 2 years. Over 25% bump!

Boyne practically has a monopoly in Maine between SL and SR. Loon is the busiest resort in NH. That's why they can charge those prices. People will pay it.

This reality is also why I've said it would be bad if they bought Saddleback.

Interesting timing with Saddleback down for the count coupled with a substantial price increase for Boyne.
