Yea, but your'e stuck up in nowhere. Sundown is near a big metropolitan area and has the people willing to pay the price for the convenience. If it was a ripoff people wouldn't pay for it.

Amazing though isn't it, given they have the gall to price their lift tickets as full dollar amounts?:flag:

Ha! What GSS said. I think we've already established that SNE is a bit different than your area, snowman. Oh, and half-pipe, shmaff-pipe. Bumps are the shiz (is that right, GSS?). I wouldn't ski Sundown anywhere near as much as I do without the Nor'easter bumps or the Sundown crew.

And in Sundown's defense, there are deals to be had. Their pick-a-night program at $127 (before 10/31) let's you ski one weeknight each week all season. Scroll to the bottom:

Their $89 savings card knocks down the lift ticket prices nicely too.


Bumps are the ill shiznit...the only seeded bump run at Blue mountain is Barneys Bumps..which is about 6-8 bumps wide and about 400 vert..I've had some sa weet corn shot hero bump sunset stoke for sure. Other than that it's high speed cruising which is also fun for me..I pay $530 for my season pass,,abd it's well worth it for me...

That hardly looks like a close comparison and it says their pass is $129, not $99?

$99.95 < ha ... cut off the end of June or July for $129.95 < ha again :lol: until the end of this month. For the past 5 years they've run $99.95 right up to Dec 1. Their pictures on the website suck. It looks almost identical to Sundown at night from the same distance in the video that you guy have. Stats are pretty much the same.

Must be a Canuck thing. Perhaps Canadians are just more easily fooled by this silly price psychology thing? :-o ;)
