I'm looking at the Ranger pass since I'll be at CM more often than Tash/Cat and easy laps with my 4 yo/hang with younger son in lodge.
So Onset Pub mug club!

I think the Ranger is my flavor too. I'm too impatient to ski blackout days, anyway. I do dig the Onset. Shockingly good vibe, considering the structure. I agree with DHS on the efficiency of the base lodge. It's an impressive layout, for what it is.

Would you really never make it to Mount Snow?
Normally not because it's too far to be able to work in a ski day and only have to take a half day vacation, but I did go there once this year when they were open before Huntah got their act together...

I do not think you are going to got a lot of Hunter advanced skiers at Mt. Slow. There is really not a lot to offer there except cruisers. The may go once........ Hunter is more concerned with the amount of intermediates from JF?BB and and MS clogging up the trails and lift lines.

max pass is MUCH more attractive for a multi mountain pass with eastern options. yeah its only 5 days per place, but the places are SO much better overall than this pass. wildcat is the only one that excites me in the slightest.

Great day at attitash, picked up our new ranger passes.
To follow-up on an earlier post, there is no need for parents to spend $60 on the under six pass. Convenience only.
Couple inches of fresh loose granular over bullet proof, ten runs on the bear side.
Always amazed at how far people travel when I stay at the hotel, big crews from both new bruswick and rochester ny in the pool tonight.

The North Conway area is a big tourist destination.

Just bought the drifter for next year, price was good enough to pull me away from cannon. More driving but at the price I have a lot more options and can still hit cannon for a few days if I don't feel like driving the extra 40 min to the cat.

Why is that? For us, we can get a 6 and under pass now whereas next season our son would be 7 and not qualify. (Pricing is determined at time of purchase.) As far as I can see, Mt. Snow, Crotched, Attitash, and Wildcat offer free skiing for 5 and under only at the ticket window.
Age at time of purchase is a very good point. Considering the season starts in 8 months from now, you can bet they did that math too.

My son turns 1 a week from Saturday. This could work out well for me in five years if this pass product is still around. (Doubtful).

Yup, it's age at the time of purchase, not use that matters for the kids pass! Having kids who's birthday's are Dec 29th and Jan 9th, the last year they qualified for the kids pass, I made sure with the admins that it was the child's age when you buy the pass, not when they're using it.
As for why some parents choose to get a pass, and pay the nominal fee for it when there is free skiing offered for those kids 5 and under (even if they're not turning 6 during the season), for many parents it's pure convenience as it eliminates the need to go to the ticket window, wait in line, and get the day ticket for their kid each day they ski. For many families, one less stop between when they arrive at the ski area, lug all their gear from the parking lot to the lodge, get their gear on, and get out to the slopes is well worth the relatively small amount of $$ that pass will cost them

My kids are now 10 and 12. This pass pricing bit for kids under 6 was in place when ASC owned Mount Snow and Peak continued it once they bought it. I doubt that they'll change it too much going forward based on that historical perspective. The only thing that has changed is the cost, as when my kids 1st got theirs, I believe it was $30 (or possibly $40) that their passes costs.
And we save our passes and use them as Christmas Tree ornaments on a tree we have up at our ski place! Got a great one of my now 10, then 3 year old son throwing an utter and complete hissy fit when they took his pass picture!

Mt Snow is $5 a day for 5 and under. Is Attitash free? I don't see it listed on their tickets page. Jack Frost/Big Boulder is $10 a day for 4 and under. Hunter is free on weekdays and $10 on weekends. This is all 2015-2016 info. Not sure what 2016-2017 will bring. Makes sense $$$ for me to buy my girls the pass if everything stays the same.

Pulling the trigger on Friday for the Ranger Pass too. The blackout days and when we are up in Gilford on select weekends, I'll be at Gunstock! So really the best of both worlds.
