MAX Pass

Too rich for my blood and better/cheaper options IMO with VT 5 passes, K Express Card and picking up cheap tickets at BEMI Ski Show.

I guess if those all happened to be your favorite mountains it could be worth it.

As I said if you skied the 30 times it would be 23 bucks per visit but you have to ski 5 days a sugarloaf which is a haul from anywhere unless you do it in one week

You could get this pass and pair it with a trip out West each year.

They have an option to purchase the pass without the season ticket for $699. If you use 20 days its 34.95 each, that's pretty good to me. About the 2.5, some creative booking and you could pair two different mountains together over a weekend. Looks interesting to me!!

What's nice about it is that you don't have to do all sorts of work to find deals that are the same or only slightly better. One purchase and you are done. If I lived in the Boston area I would be very tempted by this pass. It doesn't make as much sense for me since I would have to drive by a lot of good ski areas to get to the ones that participate in the pass.

I just realized that the $249 children's pass may be an even better deal. You only need to use it at one or two mountains to make it worthwhile. A five day junior ticket at Loon alone is $279.

Great move (finally.) Too bad only one mountain within a 2-hour radius from Boston. It would be a true no-brainer otherwise. I'm shocked that there are no blackout dates. I recall the old ASC pass had 2 (3?) options from no-blackouts to a more restrictive pass. I think the one I used to get was about $350 and had 10+ blackout dates around the holidays. The unrestricted pass was significantly more expensive. That was 10 years ago maybe. So this pricing is pretty aggressive.

It's hard to believe that ASC has been gone for eight years....:

This pass is worthless without Sundown.

Interesting response to the Epic Pass. Copper, Winter Park and Steamboat is a nice combination in Colorado but only Brighton in Utah as of now. I do like the direction this thing (multi-mountain options) is trending however. Wonder if Epic will look into the east?

I am wondering what (if any) resorts Vail might buy out east.

I've been wondering that for a while. Just back from a trip to Vail (been 5 out of the last 6 years). If they bought a mountain or two back here, the EPIC pass would be a total no brainer. I'd love to see a deal with Jay, and something closer to Boston.

I was a bit surprised Snowbird was not included. Isn't that kind of like a Powdr resort now?

If Snowbird (or even Solitude) was on it, I would be much more inclined. I'm due for my next trip to Utah next year, but Brighton is one of my least favorite resorts.

Not for me. With the Boyne pass, besides Killington, probably nothing I'd care enough to visit. And when I do visit K (usually spring) - they sell tickets to other mt. pass-holders for a discount, usually $35. And I have no plans to go out west, but if I did, none of the places I've ever dreamed about are on the pass. If I went, I'm going to where i want, not cheaping out for non-coveted places to save a few $. Maybe if I was a Bostonian and it was my only pass, it'd work, but not as an add on to Boyne pass for us.

Alpine Zone Summit room without lift tickets?

Sugarloaf sells "Zoom Rooms" you could go for if you had this pass

Add the Max at $249 on to a $379 Pico pass and you have a pretty sweet setup for $628 if you normally ski Pico.

Edit: Nevermind, read the FAQs and Pico passes are not eligible for the add on.

I'm impressed there's no blackout dates
