Killington Season Passes

[Jean-Pierre Skier]

After some of the best skiing of the year last weekend, my appetite for more is ferocious. Any word on what's going on with the All For One Pass or Killington's Season Passes for 2007-2008?

It'll likely take some time to shake out. Killington will soon not be a part of ASC so you can kiss the A41 goodbye. That's a definite.

There has been much speculation about this over on KZone. I am of the belief that Killington can't raise prices too much, as they'd be priced right out of the market.

Most other mtns have already announced their 07/08 season rates. Killington will likely not do so until WELL after most have bought passes elsewhere. This means that if they want ANYONE to buy season passes they can't go nuts and raise them to the old days prices of over $1000.00 +. Simply noone will buy and it will be a bigger mess than even ASC.

Just my thoughts.

I'm glad we took advantage of them while we could.....now we'll have to figure something out for next year....

All I can say is for the first time in modern history, something at Stratton looks like a bargain. The Value Pass Plus at $549 for (Stratton, Okemo and Sunapee) or the Stratton Only Pass at $399 sound downright affordable.

Hate to admit it, but I'm thinking same thing - the midweek pass good at all 3 - only $279 before April 30th.....had the trigger pulled the other nite, but just couldnt click the send button for some reason...

need to chew on this for a bit more....

For kmart to bring their pass back to market value, ie, similar to the Bush, Okemo, Stowe, Mt Snow( and the Bush, they would have to charge alot more. IMHO I think they will try to compromise so as to not lose too many of the cheapskates. :wink:

But, its Stratton, Okemo and Sunapee, common.

I'm worried about how this will shake out. My kid really wants to participate in the Killington ski club programs again next season, and I really want to give him that opportunity. But it sounds like it's going to be quite a hit on the pocketbook...

I don't know Sunapee very well, but I think Stratton and Okemo have good, challenging terrain if you know where to find it. The glades are certainly nice. Clearly, Killington has much more to offer, but I haven't grown tired of Stratton or Okemo yet.

Killington is such a hike to get to and the crowds are tough to deal with (both in terms of numbers and idiot factor). I bought the A41 pass the past three seasons, but skied more often at Mt. Snow due to the convenience.

This year, I tried the Value Plus at Stratton/Okemo/Sunapee and I've been really happy with it. I'm only 45 mins. to Stratton so it's easy to grab some turns early in the morning and still have a full day to do other stuff. Marriage/family has its little inconveniences :wink:

Maybe I'll wait to see how the K-ton pass shakes out.

Hopefully we will know soon if they will do a black-out date Mount Snow/Attitash/Crotched pass. They seemed keen on it....

*IF* they offer one. All signs point to it, and inferences there will be, but nothings point blank stated it as of yet.

 

[Newpylong]

Like I said,"if", : )

*DoH!* I thought you where saying if the pass would have blackout dates, not if the pass even exists.

Hey Newpy, you're real name isn't Chris, is it?

Nope! Rob...
