never been. when people talk about hiking TR to ski, do they come in from the bottom or is there a path from the back/side for "easier" access?

It's a big mountain... Lot's of sides... :)
I've skinned the cog before to get the the really good stuff(ammo airplane)

There was a limited edition run for those that collaborated and funded the initial project (mine is #9). But he's now selling them on this site. It was really cool how much back-and-forth he was open to on the final version of this. Or at least I think he is still selling them, the project was almost 3 years ago....Funky you gotta finally get that thing framed!!

Picked up my 4 passes this afternoon, if we can get 2-3 days in this spring then it will be a nice little bonus

I picked mine up at Jack Frost in PA last week. Then yesterday they called me and asked me to drive up and sign a paper they forgot to have me sign.

Yeahhhhhhhh no. They said they will mail it to me, we will see.

Cool concept! Just wonder if it's going to cause longer lines at the more popular resorts in the portfolio.

Given the price reduction, more people may not equal more $. They are betting they will grab a bunch of additional market share. Wonder what the BE point is for them between last year's pricing to this in terms of volume.

Keep in mind that there will be more on-mountain revenues as well.

I hope they get much larger crowds. They'll be almost exclusively focused at Hunter and Mt Snow so they won't affect me. As previously stated, the price cuts are a slight cut or even increase in price at there New Hampshire mountains. I don't any new crowds there, and hopefully this leads to more money in the company.

I look at it this way with respect to Peak's revenue and my families contribution to it annually - passes alone they're down about $1100 from my family over what our passes for this season cost - guess that means my wife and I will have to spend a bunch of extra time up in our favorite base lodge bar at Mount Snow to offset their revenue "loss" from my family ;) :beer: :lol:

the hunter crowd will go to mount snow, realize it's a pimple with no pitch, and go back to hunter.

the mount snow people will go to wildcat, realize what a real mountain looks and skis like, and will jump off a bridge.

okemo is worse, but mount snow and okemo share the honor of being the only two large vermont ski areas on my "never ski, even if free" list.

Mount Snow people might not do much venturing. They already had unlimited access to Crotched, Wildcat, and Attitash. Maybe they'll try Hunter, especially if they live in NY or very Western MA.

wildcat is 3.5+ hours drive north from mt snow. don't think that will be a frequent adventure for the mt snow crowd, who i suspect already drive 2+ hours to mt snow. (3 for me)

I think the pass is for us Middlesex County people... Mount Snow, Crotch, Atti-bear, and Wildcat all for 599/499 (depending on which pass) is a steal. Add that with my Gunny Pass, I can now really plan my season early at Snow and Wildcat, get my blackout days in at gunstock and the crotch, which still getting in Atti-tash a couple times a year.
