I don't think this is what it means. Buying a Bash Badge for $99 then allows you to buy full day tickets for $25 or afternoons for $15. It's like a disconunt card Smuggs uses to raise cash prior to services being rendered. It's confusing the way it's worded as it does sort of imply that its a $25 ticket.

Bash Badge seems like a good deal if you plan to ski fewer than 18 days @ Smuggs (assume full days vs cost of $529 season pass)
If it were me I'd updade to the Bash Badge + and get early/late season paid for then work down the per visit cost by going in the afternoon for $15 once those lift lines dies down.

Regardless, Smuggs is an amazing mtn and would be my home mtn if I lived up in N VT.

The Bash Pass is now $119 & goes up again later. The $99 deal already expired. You are correct about what the deal is.

As I mentioned in the other thread - I like this method vs buying a season pass 20 trips (between Dec. 13 & from Mar. 10) = 29.95 per visit and that does not include the free days or $15 half days! The dollar cost average could be way lower!

Funny how things come back around on this thread. I guess if the thread gets too deep who wants to go through 18 pages of posts right? That's cool though, helps everyone that can benefit from them.

Do these sell out quickly?
This is the 1st time I've bought one but have heard they sell out fast. Believe in past yrs it was a mail in form that was not well advertised/hard to find online. Now they are promoting it more I'm sure it'll go even faster.
