Smugglers Notch: regular season $70 (each additional day $54)
Holiday rates $74 (each additional day fifty eight)
Spelled out the additional day holiday rate because the number eight comes out a smiley

That's a $2 increase from last year's $68.
Surprised they didn't go with $69. There's a reason gas is priced to tenths of a cent.

$2-3 is a standard rate of increase every year for most places!

Perhaps, but buyer psychology is important to consider. I imagine that's a factor in why Jay Peak's price has been $69.
What I'm getting at is, I'd bet Smuggs would make more on single-day lift tickets at $69 than they are going to at $70. I know it sounds ridiculous, but there are tons of studies that show this.

$79 lift ticket for MRG? That's surprising :-o

I'll make a bet that Stowe ends up at $100 this year (with $86 online).

I agree. There comes a point where people will ski else where if the rates go up too much. I remember when Jay was at $74 then dropped to $69 and has held there which has been a big win for them.

I remember a time when it didn't make sense to use a VT. Pass at MRG during the week because their weekday rate was less than the cost of the pass.

Still doesn't make sense to use a VT. Pass at Middlebury College Snow Bowl midweek.
14/15 rates:
midweek-$35
weekend & holiday-$55

You can shred all of Mohawk's intense 600ft of vertical gnar for $60. Valid from open-close so if you wanna do an epic 13 and a half hour skiing marathon you can. Midweek is 9:30am-10pm for $30.
Joking aside, if you can catch a snow day there that would be pretty awesome. The place is dead on sunny midweek days. If there's a snowstorm you'd have the place to yourself.

How are they ever going to stay in business with those prices and not a single double black offering?
Wow. Good deal. Brought to you by my tuition dollars and donations as alum

Holy crap, those are significant increases!
Whiteface was like $84, and IIRC unless I'm mistaken Gore was only $75.
Belleayre is irrelevant to me as I wouldn't pay $6.64 to ski there, but I think that went up too. I don't see how the heck they price Gore above Whiteface though, that's kindof shocking.
