Granite Peak near Keene, NH? That would be a great excuse to get there.

Pico released their pass prices for 2017-2018:

Adult: $399
Senior: $299
Super Senior: $59
Youth: $189
Child: $59

Is that the best value for an unrestricted adult pass? Pico is a legit mountain for terrain and snowfall.

I wonder if Wachusett will lower their season passes. They should considering the prices of these other passes which are MAX Pass eligible.

It certainly is a very good value. Typically they have firm opening and closing dates, so you won't be ski in there in November or after the first weekend or two in April which is something to consider if that is important to you. They are also closed on Tuesday and Wednesday during non holiday weeks.... But you can purchase a killington add on for those mid weekdays of you want.

I would certainly say one of the best values. For $150 more you can get the new Sugarbush "Value" pass which is also a pretty good deal. Unrestricted access to Mt Ellen and Monday-Friday skiing at Lincoln Peak. And you get to use it at LP before ME opens and after it closes.

I wonder if Pico will allow the MAX pass add on to their $399 pass. I know that MAX has minimum pass prices for allowing the add on, but if Stratton is able to do it with their $399 value pass, I'd expect Pico should be able to do it, too.

The Statton value pass plus MAX add on for $728 seems like a fantastic deal for folks that will ski Stratton at least 7 times.

I bet they will. MAX Pass divulged to me yesterday that their price point for the Add-On is a $329 base pass price.

Last year it was not an option (I don't think it was anyway) and as of right now there is no mention of it on the website. It would be a great option though.

You kidding me, they have a good 700 vert and 3 high speed lifts. You should be booking your flight now!!!

In all seriousness, I am sometimes tempted to pick up a Michigan or Wisconsin passport type deal and do a midwestern trip for the heck of it. As much as I love skiing bigger areas I do love checking out the smaller places.

Michigan $269, great deal if you live there)...

Wisconsin only $130 but doesn't include a lot of their areas, still a great deal if you live there...

Good one for New Mexico too, $300 for 2 tickets per area...

Good price on the value.

Anyone recall what the MAX option cost this past year?

'16/'17: $599 by itself or $299 as an Add-On.
'17/'18: $629 by itself or $329 as an Add-On.

That presents a great family value not only firn the adults but the youth and child passes are priced aggressively.

I think they are in a unique position where they don't have to. They have a captive audience of Boston and Worcester metro skiers just looking for something close. It would be a nice gesture given the reduced prices elsewhere, but I'm not sure market conditions will dictate that they do so.
