New England needs a Mountain Collective Pass

[Puck it]

It's $369 plus tax until Dec. 15. at Okemo or Killington, Sunapee is charging $391 since NH doesn't have a tax.

edit: with this pass you can also purchase up to 5 day tickets for your college buddies at a 50% discount off regular price.

Nope, I have the emails from both Okemo and Sunapee showing the discounted rate until 8/31 for Okemo and 8/30 for Sunapee.

email from Sunapee:

Mount Sunapee - Okemo - Killington - Pico

If you are a full-time student at a college or university then this is the season pass deal for you! Ski or ride with no restrictions at Mount Sunapee, Okemo, Killington and Pico all season long for just $391.
But wait! Save an additional $32 when you use this promo code during checkout:

That means this pass is just $359 for the most terrain in the East! Hurry though as this promo ends on Friday, August 30!

I've never seen them make the NH pass higher because of lack of sales tax. Interesting.

They have been doing that for a few years now. The price at Okemo with sales tax matches the Sunapee with no NH tax.

Interesting. I bet they did it, in part, to avoid the State of Vermont hassling them for info on Vermonters buying passes in NH to avoid the tax so that the State could harrass...I mean...ask that those Vermonters pay the tax.

That collage pass is a great deal but I'm not in collage so that does me no good. I'm sure they could make a pass like the collective pass for east coasters. The all for one pass was the best deal I've seen, they could charge $500 and they would sell a ton of them, which would mean more skier visits, which means more food, alcohol and lodging sales. It's getting so expensive to ski here in the east another all for one would be great. But ill keep trying to get out as much as possible

Just got my pass at Snowbird this season. A few weeks ago they announced that in addition to our usual $32 tix to Alta, we were going to get 3 free days at PCMR, 3 free days at Deer Valley, and 3 free days at Alta as well as unlimited half-price tix at Whistler, Aspen Snowmass, Squaw Valley-Alpine Meadows, Mammoth, and Jackson Hole. Killer deal can I say?

I asked the guy at the pass office about this and he said that it was a direct response to the Epic Pass and that PCMR and Deer Valley instigated the discussion "because they wanted to keep their passholders" and needed to offer access to other areas, so they contacted Alta and Snowbird.

So ultimately it will only take one alliance to make others follow. And there used to be more back in the day when ASC existed. There are still some alliances, but they are not too big.

Yeah, but as said, the big difference is that my pass gets me deals to places that are faaaarrrr away. That said, the local areas for me are all destination places that make their money off of folks flying in. You will not believe how many nationalities at Deer Valley. The PCMR, Deer Valley, and Alta deals are just unreal for me. Six days at Deer Valley and PCMR is in excess of $600 alone. Killer, killer deal. I was planning on a pass at Snowbird and then get some discount tix at Deer Valley, or a locals pass deal there, but I don't have to now. So happy that they got this done for us. Real happy with Snowbird this year. :beer:

Yes, because they fixed the problem that we had with them and delivered on this.
