I'm buying the bronze pass again. Can't beat that. Allows for mixing it up a bit.

I wont get one again..
Every time I had a chance to go to KMart - I ended up somewhere else... :)

Been to K only once ...used mine at the River a fair amount. Did go to Attitash twice. A few options not real far for me.

Wasnt impressed enough with Attitash to go more then once..

Was hoping to get to the "River"...

DMC sounds like a busy weekend. Have fun. Attitash was ok for a few days. Sunday River is still my favorite place.

Aprils just insane now..
That weekend is busy - the next weekend the band is playing a big end of season party - then the next weekend is Tucks...

Then - May....

It is a hard deal to pass up but for people in southern NE where Mt Snow is just under a 3hour drive, and the next nearest resort is 4hrs it doesnt make much sense. Hmm now if i could only make what i make here and move up there now then it would work.

What would you do if you were in my shoes, Mt snow is 2:45mins from my house and the next nearest ASC resort is about 4hrs, go for a 349 asc pass and ski Mt snow about 15times and maybe get up to killington once or twice??? Orrr now i know theres not alot of fans of the mountains im about to mention but a Okemo, Stratton, Sunapee pass is 499 with about the same restrictions and okemo and Stratton are 3hours exactly from my house so i would say about 7times okemo, 7times stratton and maybe once or twice to sunapee?? so a $150 dollar difference but 2 mountains that are more accessible, your thoughts?

If you buy the Asc pass you can ski early and late in the season. You always will have many options. Its cheap. You could buy that pass and do a few days elsewhere on black out days and still pay the same amount as a regular pass elsewhere. I have used my bronze pass 13 times using it 7 or 8 more times. Based on 50 Dollar lift tickets thats a grand. I am alot closer to a few of the ASC resorts. I prefer set costs.

The ASC pass is a good deal if you're close enough to ASC mountains and will go to them alot. I like to try different places so I don't really see the advantage. If you look around for deals and win tickets from Greg you can still ski for cheap without being tied down to a couple of mountains. I skied about 21 times this year for around $150! :) Of course 14 of those times were at the mountain I work at and ski for free... ;)

If okemo is exactly 3 hours then Killington is only 3 hours and 15 mins, not 4 and you get 10 times the mountain. Then I would buy the ASC pass and ski Mount Snow 20+ and Killington 20+ Throw a couple days at Pico and then make a long weekend at both the Loaf and Sunday River.

Mapquest says its 21miles or 33minutes further to K from Okemo, now 33minutes can seem like an eternity after sitting in a car for 3hrs and driving past other resorts on the way no?
