Gunstock went on sale today.

$650 prime adult
$425 prime 6-17 year old

Picked these up again for us plus Indy Plus which came to $907 for the three of us.

$2407 all in for the season for the 3 of us.

Some might say Gunstock is a little pricey for a single mid sized mountain pass, but I'm perfectly content with the price for 5 reasons.

1. Their snowmaking absolutely crushes. I never have a doubt that they will blow the place wide open as quick as they can and resurface the product regularly as needed. That is the number one reason why I left Epic.

2. They limit capacity. It is never uncomfortably crowded.

3. 1 hour from home

4. Exceptional kids seasonal development programs

5. Strongest commitment to NASTAR in New England. Love having the opportunity to practice gates every weekend and holidays from 10-3 for a modest fee.

They also are very generous with buddy passes. If you buy early, you get 6 buddy passes per season pass that gets your friends 50% off the window rate.

Cannon plus indy. That leaves me enough budget to ski off pass if I need to although with all the indy options now it seems silly at this point.

Gunstock (free) plus Indy plus BW/Cranmore (probably, as long as a couple of friends get it also). This current year will be the third year in a row I’ve used Indy out west. It’s really changed the game for me, in a great way.

Thread thus far is all granite state and not an epic or ikon mentioned.

We are 3X cannon and boyne silver this year. Silver is a step up but should allow me to ski during 3 - 6 of the kids race days depending how the schedule falls. Also early season insurance if loon is able to open before cannon next year.

Spent some time this week trying to get indy add on to work, it just does not fit our schedule.

Boyne went on sale in February years past, March 12 this year, maybe they are waiting on an announcement?

ikon and magic again for me next year, based out of So VT.
may do only ikon and 4 packs for magic for the rest of the family.
currently don't get all.my money's worth out of this setup but I'm selling a business in May so next winter I should have a lot more free time to chase powder, but still have kids in school for a few more years too.

I expect each to go up like 5% from last year. we'll see.

That’s not a bad price. Do you get any summer activity access?

No, other than the F&B discount. Their summer pricing isn't too bad though for their coaster and chair rides.

I'll be on the NY ski3 again but possibly midweek only. Out of 23 days this year only one was on a weekend. Will see how the season finishes.

Looks like I'll renew the Superpass again this year, they went up to $1335 from $1256 last year.
as long as i have to ski weekends I'll be stuck with this pass. I've had a good amount of weekends at Cannon that were really good !
No hurry renewing, think its good till end of may
