For me it is basically $599 for an unlimited Mt. Snow season pass. I might use it at Wildcat also. The others I don't think I'd go to or get to, to be honest.
Too bad I can't do the MAX Pass Add-On to the Peak Pass.

Will this include spring skiing? The FAQs are a little confusing.

It seems like it is saying the BENEFITS for each pass are for '17/'18 and not '15/'16, but they'll issue you a '16/'17 pass/ticket you can use this season for the rest of Spring 2017.

If you buy now you can ski the rest of the season. Benefits are not able to be used this spring though (like the 25% off a ticket for the Explorer). If you buy before the first deadline you can use the benefits this summer though.
Yes and $99 down to ski spring. Price valid until April 30. Fliers up at Attitash.

It doesn't give a date, but if you buy now are you able to ski immediately? I seem to remember that from last year.

that's a smoking deal for Mount Snow/Wildcat. Don't need that many days to make it a steal

15-20 days makes it a steal, IMO, bringing the daily average to $30-$40.
I think we could get that many days in between Mt. Snow and Wildcat, but then it forces us to ski only those mountains or shell out for the MAX Pass also which we'd need to use another 15-20 days for the price to be a good deal on that.
Still, might be do-able... maybe.

Now you're into the conundrum of looking at price per day versus overall cost. If you're happy with what Peaks offers, then that is the best deal and it only gets better. If you get a Max pass, at least some of those days would come at the expense of days on the Peak pass.
Speaking of Max, any info on when pricing for that will come out? I don't remember when it was released last year.

Can I ski or ride the rest of the season if I buy?
You sure can. Purchase today and the pass is valid for skiing and riding for the remainder of this season as well as the 2017/2018 winter at all 7 mountains.
What is confusing about that?

No idea on when the pricing will come out for MAX Pass, sorry. I would guess in the next couple of weeks though.
The only places I can see us riding on the Peak Pass are Mt. Snow and Wildcat. But, we also like some variety and are big Killington fans, so the MAX is nice. Also a fan of the Non-New England options on the MAX, so it is a tough predicament. I really wish MAX added Mt. Snow and that the MAX changed the structure so you could swap around the 5 lift tickets per mountain to maybe use a max of 10 at a select mountain or 2. That'd be the best pass (for us at least).
Decisions, decisions.
Also, EPIC Pass will probably be released soon as well which should include Stowe... so that's a possible option as well, but Stowe is too far for us to get there every weekend as opposed to Mt. Snow which is a short 2 hr drive.

So they're only at their lowest price for 2 weeks? That doesn't seem to make too much sense.

Just simply hoping to lock in customers ahead of others releasing their pass products for next year.
At this rate, it won't be long until resorts start putting next season's products out the last weekend of Presidents week...

That's kind of a ridiculous strategy. This is the New England Pass which has Sugarloaf, Loon and Sunday River we are talking about, correct?
Odd, but whatever works I guess.
Any word on when EPIC and MAX Passes will release their plans/pricing?

If this happens and they have the "ski rest of the yr for free" thing you wonder how folks react. If you have a pass but a different mtn gives you the opportunity to ski with them for 5-8 weeks you end up with 2 season passes for the spring season.
Gives you some additional variety and may actually create a scenario where folks are hopping between passes yr to yr rather than building a consistent customer base.

Okay gonna get my wife a peaks pass this week because we are going to Wildcat next Sunday. I already have 2 tickets I need to use at Wildcat. I will then get my youngest son a pass next week and he can go with me for my last ticket in April. I will then get mine and my middle sons before 4/30. Actually all will just be a down payment. I can wait on my oldest because the price stays at 399 until dec 15th. It will be his Christmas present.

I looked it up, Max was released on March 9th last year (second Wednesday of the month). If they are still locking up the new mountains, it might be a little longer, but who knows.
I think it is a fine strategy on Boyne's part. The increase after the 'flash sale' ending on the 10th is modest, between $20 and $50 for the different passes. That is smaller than the normal price hike after early season pricing (usually ~$100).
They definitely experimenting to see if they can get people to make an impulse buy in this short window. The classic strategy of grabbing people on the fence by saying "supplies are low!" or "act now!"
