Season Pass Roll Call

[Greg]

No, but it's only a 15 minute difference. Sundown's season pass is $160 more than Catamount's and I don't feel it's worth the additional cost.

I have to disagree. Depends on what type of skiing you like though. If you like bumps, Sundown, without question. Also, 15 minutes further probably means 10 additional miles. That's 20 up and back. Say you get 20 MPG, that's ~$5 per trip. 20 days and you've off-set that $160 difference by a benjamin. Plus at Sundown, you get to ski with the cool kids.

How'd I know you'd start this debate?:wink:

I wouldn't call myself a bump skier, I'll ski on the bumps 2-4 times a day, but that's about it. You're right about the gas, though it's highly unlikey I'll spend 20 days at Catamount or Sundown... I'd estimate a dozen. In that case, Catamount's value is better than Sundown's.

Discussion, not a debate. Catamount is a cool little hill...

Catamount is a cool little hill...

That it is....I have only been once, but I thought it was a great little place.

 

[powderman]

Decided it will be 'da Cat... really psyched

 

[hardline]

[roark]

Kmart blue lig... errr blackout pass.

 

[ERJ-145CA]

Got an unlimited pass for my son and I at Hidden Valley way back at the end of last season when it was $189 for me and $25 for my son.

Blue Hills for me. I think the management did a good job last year, so I am keeping with them.

Blue Hills is run by Ski Campgaw Management who has operated Campgaw in NJ for the county of Bergen for years. I used to live near Campgaw so I've been there a bunch of times, for a very small hill the management blows a lot of snow and always has a really good base going and good snow conditions for NJ, so I would expect the same at Blue Hills.

went there eons ago. the early 90's. they had a pretty long halfpipe that had a weird kink in it which was funny. we where there doing a demo for crazy banana, who i was riding for at the time. they gave us the run of the place we got to build jumps where ever we wanted. a budy of my broke his tailbone trying to copy some trick i was doing that day.

I think I'm going to pick up my Sundown pass next week. That will surly fire me up for the ski season.

 

[Rob A]

I'll be purchasing my Mtn Creek pass shortly. Although I'm never really satisfied with their service, they are still the closest and cheapest resort for me.

 

[bvibert]

I'm going to be a pass holder for the first time ever this year (non-employee benefits pass). Where else, but at Sundown. Passes are purchased, just need to go have our pictures taken and pick them up.

 

[prisnah]

Picking up my New England Pass this weekend. I don't need a new picture, but I think I'm gonna have one taken anyway......now I just need to figure out what kind of wierd look I'm gonna go for.

 

[dawn-ski]

Killington Blackout pass ,which this year includes pass for Wobbly Barn....

 

[o3jeff]

I guess I need to get my butt down to Sundown and get mine before the increase.

You can order online. That's what I did.

 

[Robert Goulet]

Stowe, Mad River, Bolton, Jay Peak......thank you college special

I figured I'd go up there just to build up the ski jones.

I hear ya. I drove by yesterday to look at a stroller in the area and my 3 year old insisted there was snow on the slopes. Alas, there was not. But I did see guns out...

I ordered online and after 2-3 days for processing, we can go get our pictures taken. So I'll use that for stoke. I'm not sure if they're available right after that... I know when I did my employee pass, I had to wait 4 or 5 days after I had my picture taken to get the actual pass. So if that's the case, then there will be another trip in the future. Luckily, it's only about 12 miles away from us.
