Sadly, I think I *won't* have a Bush pass this year. They don't have the lodging trade anymore and now that my older son won't get a pass with my corporate pass, it doesn't make sense to get one. Instead, I'll just buy eight or ten day passes through the Chamber, take advantage of any deal days, and take my kids to MRG every Sunday, where I get a pass through my advertising, my older son is only $209 and the younger kids are free. We've also got a trip or two planned for Bolton, I've got a couple of day passes to Smuggs, and I'll probably go down to Middlebury once or twice again this year. So I'm sure I'll get ~30 days in.

But I'm still kind of bummed about not having a SB pass for the first time in six years. The thought of not being able to just hop in my car every time we get a little dump and reaching LP in five minutes is depressing.

You should be getting free vouchers in exchange for hooking your hotel patrons up with discount tickets..Sugarbush is missing out BIGTIME!!!!! Don't become a jaded local..suck it up and buy a pass..it is only the 2008-09 ski season once in your life..Why would you live at the base of Sugarbush and not have a pass there..just my inflation adjusted nickel..

This year is going to work out great for me!

Cannon Mountain

Gold Pass for Loon, Sugarloaf, and Sunday River (I work near Loon and get a great deal)

Wildcat (girlfriend works for the city of Berlin, NH and gets a great deal for herself and guest, me!)

Attitash Weekday Pass (Seeing that I wouldn't have to buy the 'Maine Pass' this year, had a little extra $!)

That's a lot of passes and mountains! You shouldn't have any trouble with getting bored.

No, no way for me to get bored! Early season will be to SR, then once Cannon opens up a lot of terrain I go there on Sunday and Monday, Loon on Tuesday. When January comes we'll split up Cannon and Wildcat on Sunday, Loon Monday, Attitash Tuesday.

Just booked four days during NH vacation week (GF is a teacher) and we'll be at Sugarloaf.

As the season winds down in April and areas start to close, we return to SR and the Loaf until they close.

Not that I have been planning this upcoming season at all!

Red Jacket, White Cross. That's my pass. I'm back to very little free skiing. Not a lot of time or $$$.

No pass.....I wish, but none.

I will do what I did last season, trying to work the best deals. That's going to involve:

Using up the Warren Miller freebies by the end of the year.

Buying the $35 ski VT card, if only for the $40 Sugarbush Sundays and $40 late season Stowe trips.

The NH ski and ride card for the free tickets (Magic?, Black?) that come with it.

The Wild Card (which if bought at the Expo is like $118 for three days at the Cat plus an extra midweek ticket)

Combining all that, I should have to pay full price only a few times all year.

I used to get the Blizzard Card at Blue Mountain, because the discounts worked out better for me but they have discontinued it this year. So now I'm thinking about getting a SP there.

I'd love to hit Blue after work, once a week for a few hours, not sure if the drive is worth it though. I could get a head start by working out of Port Murray once a week. It would probably help motivate me on marginal days
