And the year before they included two free tickets. Peak Resorts is definitely ratcheting up the prices. Weekend tickets are up to $79 at AttiCat. At least they are maintaining their reasonable corporate rates at Crotched.

One good thing with my season pass at Crootched, it comes with the free vertical values perks which is also good at Mount Snow

Glad you decided on the Crotched pass. Great place and some of the best woods in southern New England. You won't regret it. DHS, Savemeasammy, and others were on their FB and there looks to be some definite mogul trails this year.

I'm definitely looking forward to some cold weather.

This might deserve its own thread, but with the dollar being strong, I'm thinking this is a good year for a trip to Canada or even further abroad, especially with all the Debbie Downers in the weather forum.

Le Massif walk up rate = 75 Canadian = 57 American (only one I checked).

I love some of the Eastern Township tours posted here and on the Skiny blog. Would love to combine some of those with Massif / St. Anne and a couple nights in Quebec City.

Not really skiing on the cheap, but skiing on the cheaper than usual given the strong dollar. I'd like to think so, anyway.

Bretton Woods:
a $19 Early Season Ticket, our $35 Midweek Golden Ticket, the $59 Anytime Ticket, and back by popular demand - an unrestricted Quad Pack of tickets good any day during the 2015-16 season for only $199!

Where did you get this from? It is not on the website that I can find and I didn't get it in my email from them.

Last year the early-season ski show tickets were available to everyone. I think that they were $25.

See two posts above!

That seems to be a ski show only special that you need to buy from them direct at the show.
I'm not attending the show so am curious what they plan to charge walk up or pre-buy online for early season.

Just read this:

Descente No Longer Offers the Passport Passes. With the consolidation of many ski resorts, the resorts did not feel the necessity to advertise in this medium.

Not buying the reason, but that program definitely suffered over the years. Shame. I used it every year for some really cheap days. Life's getting tougher for SOTC warriors. :sadwalk:
