I am noticing those products are getting over priced back east.

Give it a premium price and they will perceive it as a premium product!

Bolton Valley's deals are half the reason I go.

Def grabbing that $100 4 pack and a grip of $39 coupons while I'm at it.

any inside scope on summit county discounts? might be out in April and would rather not pay window again @ Breckenridge.

Very hard to come by. I got some by doing a time share sit down. (Never went on the actual tour) It was about an hour and a half. got 2 tix for free and bought 2 others for 75 for the 2 of them. Well worth an hour and a half saved 565 bucks. My time is worth less than 375 an hour.
The next time I got a friend and family passholders "discount". 100 bucks instead of 160.

Vail resorts are tough! The best opportunity there is buying >7 days in advance online or via liftopia - not a huge savings but probably 30%. If you plan on skiing only Breckenridge then there are multiple day products like the Epic four day pass for $439 right now. If you want to add in A Basin and Loveland then order the Gems Card and get a 2 for 1 per card at each ski area or 30% off a single ticket. You can also night ski at Keystone for about $60. They do a lot of timeshare sales and if you can get an appointment then they will put you up for four days and provide lift tickets too and all you pay is $99 and a couple hours.

Better than last year it seems! No counter this year either that I can see. BG called that one from a mile away.

Never a wise business decision to highlight failure and/or let customers know supply is high.

I think I'll probably pass again even though it's $20 cheaper this year. I KNOW I'd use it at Gore, Smuggs, and Whiteface, but that's $49.67/ticket, which is expensive. I might be able to get to MRG as well, but even then, that's $37.50/ticket, which is decent. Great deal if you live in Vermont and will travel to NY & NH as well.

Replaced Jay Peak with Bretton Woods.

From where I live and as someone who primarily does day trips, the addition of Bretton Woods is actually more appealing than Jay. I have day tripped Jay a few times since living here and it's just a long ass day. Also tough to find good deals at BW on weekends peak season. With the price drop this is a much improved product.

The BW is not good on Saturdays I noticed

I hear you on that one.we have also day tripped Jay Peak from Concord. 2 hrs 20 mn one way was tough. BW does work out well unless you are a diehard BW is not good enough and rather have Jay type of skier.

Jay's terrain certainly has more appeal for me, but at 3.5 hours, it's way further than I prefer to travel for a day trip. My plans are pretty well set for this season, so I don't see myself buying the card, but it might get consideration again for next year.
