well, that would be me :lol: I don't make a ton of money, but even as a broker college student I always found a way to go. I can get to Gunstock and back in under 4 gallons. Probably cost me $28 round trip at $8. I can live with that. It costed me more already to go to most of the places I went this season. End of season it was pretty much $35 round trip to Killington when it was $3.60. I just wouldn't go skiing as much in VT, ME and farther reaches of NH. Maybe only 4-5 times a season, instead of double that.
I don't blame you at all for getting this pass. Especially considering your wife(?) doesn't ski. Easier for you to get in some turns and still do other things in the same day. Plus you could squeak in the occasinal after work session. Gunstock can be plenty fun IMO.
