It's gotten better.

"We are very excited about this years card! We’ve expanded into Canada, and added Owls Head and Sutton, and added Sugarbush and Mount Snow in Vermont, and Nashoba and Blue Hills in Mass. "

pre-ordering $29.

Their site still shows the same deal as last year for Sutton and Owl's Head... which was also connected to Burke as well via that card thing.

I just talked with Jeff. They are not doing the Free Black ticket this year. They are throwing in one unspecified ticket good 7 days a week - first come, first served. He said they just added Attitash (much to my surprise! :eek: ) I've ordered mine.
:daffy:

The 2011-2012 Descente Passport list...

http://www.alpineaccessories.com/Descente-Free-Lift-Tickets/products/267/

Down to 35 this year. Highlight and lowlights are...

New = Alta, Solitude, Panorama, Blue (Ontario)

Gone = A-Basin, Copper, Bear Valley,Waterville(2 for 1), Powder Mountain, Sunrise, Arizona Snowbowl, Kicking Horse, Grouse, Rabbit Hill, Cannonsburg

Looks like Utah is the place to use it. Shame Kicking Horse is gone. WIth Panorama being added it would have made the Canada loop even better.

I did not realize that certain pants also qualify for the Passport program.

I'm pretty sure they don't. I think they just "go" with the jackets. However last year when one Alpinezone member (not me) bought the pants thinking they came with the passport, Descente was nice enough to send him one when he called and asked about it.

Does anybody know if the Windham Mountain 2 for 1 is on the new card? Its on the Mountain Discounts page of the website but not in the PDF brochure

Edit: just realized the brochure is for 2010-2011 :oops:

Do you know if there's a 2011/12 brochure out yet or when its likely to come out? The website still has the 2010/11 brochure on the page.
Thanks!
