So know that your pass options are out there....

[Vortex]

Since options are out there know... which pass and where are you going to buy it. I freeking hate polls but add one if necessary:razz:


I'm getting two unlimited Maine( Sunday River, Sugaloaf passes) One young adult one under 12. unlimited..... with my bias I think the Maine pass is the best deal I have heard so far. Maine residenst kids pass prices are outstanding. Boyne has protected the locals.:beer: Kind of like they get marketing.:flag: My 2nd choice would have been the Attitash snow pass.

 

[hammer]

Dunno yet...looking at the following pass options for an area closer to home:

• Pats Peak
• Crotched
• Wachusett
• Ragged? ($199 pass)

 

[Vortex]

Hammer with you local and the work you need to do to get the kids going.... I see the Pats as a great situation for you, short ride night skiing, plus i bet your kids friends will be there also. Other than days on my pass, Pats will be the place I buy the most tickets to ski this year. A great place with the skiers interest always taken to heart.

Only two passes? Am I missing something here, Bob?

As for us, one Pico adult pass and one K-Mart/Pico College Pass.

 

[Vortex]

Well two adult and two kids passes. I not buying multi company passes this year. ie a threedom and a Maine pass. Just the maine passes.

 

[tjf67]

I bought two whiteface non hiliday passes for 708 dollars.
Lots of black out dates but there are ways around those

Well Bob, I think my pass is the best deal as it's free plus free golf to go with the skiing. plus with a little "work" I get paid and get to cut the liftline

 

[Vortex]

Is that you lurking on the Sr board. I did not want to insult you until I was sure it was you. You cheap bast---.

 

[tree_skier]

just a little

I thought I would predict some high prices just for you Bob

Cheap? thats low I prefer to think of it as wise planning

Wow, the 10 days for Gold is a great perk.

 

[snowmonster]

Suddenly, the Maine gold pass is in the mix. I've been planning a trip out west and this may be the tipping point.

Way better deal than the Killington season pass.

 

[thebigo]

We are going with two ragged passes and two maine silver passes, the 50% off at brighton is the deal clincher

Originally we were planning two granite passes but this combination gives us far superior terrain. We will be spending an extra $200 but the discount at brighton will eat into that.

 

[JimG.]

Way better deal than the Killington season pass.

Can you justify doubling your drive time each time you go skiing to get this deal?

 

[wa-loaf]

Can you justify doubling your drive time each time you go skiing to get this deal?

He said it was a better deal. He didn't say he was going to get it.

 

[JimG.]

He said it was a better deal. He didn't say he was going to get it.

I knew that.

I'm trying to see if there is any sentiment among the deal hunters in NY/NJ to drive extra to ski at the resorts they perceive as offering the best value.

It's clearly a better deal for folks within 3 hours of SR/SL. Maybe not so much for folks who would have to drive twice as far.

 

[eastcoastpowderhound]

Well two adult and two kids passes. I not buying multi company passes this year. ie a threedom and a Maine pass. Just the maine passes.

Ahhh, the conversion of BobR is complete! You'l be saying "ayuh" before you know it! :beer: I'll be looking for you at one of the SR forum meet and greets.

 

[Vortex]

I'm almost always at the Sr meet and Greets. I'm from nh so I almost speak Maine. It was hard to make the move from the white's cause I love the summer there also. My family still is not quite thrilled yet. ....but yes I was converted and i'm in.:smile:

 

[bill2ski]

Me: Two silver passes and two junior gold, please and a side of fries.

Boyne: That'll be 2k, would you like ketchup ?

Me: Yes, Yes, I would. Thank You

So, as I understand it, my kids can get a Junior Gold for an extra 50 bucks a piece. Works for me ! The kids always end up going with friends on blackout days, costing me out of pocket on day passes, I just saved about 400 bucks WOOO HOOO !!!!!
THANK YOU, BOYNE
