So catamount is like JUST big enough and JUST close enough to home to justify this visit (for “free” on Indy of course), especially on a day when Vermont is boilerplate. The skiing is cornish groomers in the 30 degree sun. I dig it. There’s a very nice little inn right at the base. And Great Barrington is nearby. I’d come back to bring my nephew and fiance to learn for cheap.
Butternut just up the road is another great place for never-evers. Also cost effective.

Over / under on the number of times Indy opens up passes for sale again? I think last year it was 4 times, so I'm going with that, and taking the over.

I don't know, they are closing this window pretty rapidly due to the uptake already. I'll go 2 more times this year. Their value compared to all other big passes is becoming night and day.

free is the key word in my prior post! the noobs can pay, but i sure wont ski one of these places off the pass.

too many local-ish tiny places to choose from if my purpose is indoctrinating beginners

i love the variety indy has gotten me this season. the usuals (bolton, jay, saddleback, waterville) and a bunch of new to me places (BMOM, black NH, catamount), and i still havent even gotten to magic and cannon, and i also hope to check out ragged

Anyone trying to renew or buy this evening and unable to get payment to go through? Every card I’m trying says payment failed.

When I renewed the same thing happened. I put in all the info and got payment declined. It went through the next day and I received the confirmation email. The system is wonky.

Hum….yesterday was last day, so hopefully they will put it through today as well. That might mean I bought 10 Indy passes as I tried every card I and my husband had in the house…..

I had the same thing happen and tried multiple cards multiple times but just got one (not multiple) confirmation (per Indy pass I wanted) a few days later.

They were quick to reply to my email confirming my purchase. I also put in multi payment methods.

Thanks everyone. I put in a request to customer services and they responded that they put the payment through today. So all good.

Dropping Epic for the first time in many years, not actually a Vail hater, but past couple years we have not used much, kids sports schedule and our foolish decision to get a dog 2 years ago just means we don’t ski much anymore. And now the kids are teens their price went up so can’t justify a big pass.
5 more years they are in college, parents retire and I buy a condo at Flatton or Slowkemo or somewhere nice and gentle for old folks.
