Agreed. I look at the alternatives and am 100% happy in the Boyne ecosystem. They continue to invest in all 3 resorts - Sugarloaf's snowmaking definitely seems to have stepped up over a few years ago. While SR is my regular spot, I always go for some day trips to Sugarloaf in late April/early May. There's almost always still a ton of natural coverage at that time, including the trees - see photo below from last year.

New England Pass pricing is out and it's not as bad as I feared. Renewal prices on the gold are only up $60 ($1389) and junior price is the same is last ($599).

Yeah, and you get an extra area this year for the price on the Gold too if you chose to use Pleasant. Interesting that Loon has 12 blackout dates but SR and SL only have 10 on the Silver (they both drop 12/26 and 2/16 that Loon carries as Blackouts). Probably Silver's for us given my likely work schedule wipes out the Christmas blackout period.

My guess is that's because Loon is the easiest day trip from Boston if any major ski resort. They also have fewer lifts and terrain to spread crowds than SL & SR.

That’s actually cheap. You guys have gotten too used to multi resort pricing. I paid $1000 in the 90s for one mountain.

I'd rather pay $1,500 for one mountain and keep single day ticket rates elsewhere at $65 - $90, rather than paying $750 for one mountain and a kidney for tickets elsewhere..
