So What pass are you going to buy?

[Vortex]

Lots of talk about Peaks new deals and Boyne's new pass options.(impressed by both) Have not viewed any others. What are you going to buy and why? I don't like polls, but add one if you want. Very agressive approach so far.

4 new england gold passes here, Loon, SR and Sugarloaf. Pretty strong line up for me. I would have paid the price to just have SR. Other two are a nice bonus.:lol:

I wouldn't call the Peaks pass pricing aggressive, announcing it this early might be.

I see the aprroach/ timing as part of the entire plan.

I am making the move to the Silver New England Pass thus making Sunday River my home mountain for next season .. I have already gotten my Gunstock Pass for my routine night midweek needs and to cover the black out dates. Also gives me the XC option at Gunstock.

cool.

Had the Gunstock pass this year which more than paid for itself but I'm burnt out on Gunstock now. As I'm an intermediate with an aversion to bumps and three young children in tow, I think I'm going to skip a season pass this year and just play up the NH resident deals at Sunapee, Okemo, etc. or just go for half day tickets at other NH/VT areas. By the time I've got the kids together and we've sorted out the DVDs they'll watch in the car and stopped for lunch at McD's on the way, etc, etc - we don't get to the areas till noon anyway. Note to self for next season: get off the sofa and pack the night before....

I was originally thinking the Silver New England Pass was going to be $200 more than the Maine pass this year because of the acquisition of Loon. So I was planning on either buying a Cannon Pass or a Burke Pass.

Now that Boyne released the prices and I can get the silver pass with Loon added on for $50 more if I buy it before the deadline I think I might go with that.

I'm renewing my new and in my opinion improved 3dom pass. I like the addition of bretton woods because of the early season and hoepfully late season skiing!

 

[Vortex]

Just checked out the new threedom. That is a good deal. Amazing what a difference a year makes. Oct to May is still a big deal to me.

 

[andyzee]

Maine is too far for me, Mt. Snow just doesn't do it for me, so I'll just have to wait and see what the others have to offer. Most likely it'll either be Killington again, Sugarbush, or Whiteface/Gore. Still need to checkout Whiteface/Gore though.

 

[skier90]

Was thinking of a Granite Pass....until they announced the price. Its between New England pass, Threedom pass (best price to value) and a Cannon pass. Leaning towards the Threedom pass.

I may just get a Loveland pass next year. I would miss winter park a bit but I just keep finding myself at LL because it always seems to have way better snow. Maybe a A-basin only pass instead.

you suck.

At least you can get a decent peice of haddock, I want some sooo bad. I made some pretty big trade-offs to live in Colorado.

Sounds like you're still coming out ahead.:-D

I'll probably go with the weekday pass at Hidden Valley again 'cause it's cheap and the mountain is only 15 minutes from home.

 

[Terry]

I will probably go with the New England pass and a Shawnee Peak pass.

There's just no comparison to what you can get in Colorado with what you get in the East with pass prices. Passes are sooooo cheap in CO. My buddy out there was complaining about his pass going up 20-30$ to $420-430 (Don't remember) to be able to ski Breck, Abasin, Keystone, 10 days at BC and Vail I told him that season passes in the Poconos for 1 area are more than that! :lol: He's spoiled rotten!

I own a condo at Killington so I'm hoping that they have some good pricing for next season. With the new owners I have no idea what will happen next, but I just love the different terrain and size of K. Mount Snow has some good pricing, but they just seem so overcrowded on weekends. Must've inherited all the animals that used to go to Killington on the weekends?

Holy cow! jerry g skiing a lot huh? Overall sounds like a terrific winter in Maine. I do miss sunday river a lot, maybe make a visit around the holidays next year.

No pass next year for me

I got my membership to Ace and will pick a discount card or two up and get in my 20-25 days for around $600ish. I've really enjoyed spreading things around a bit this year and look to up the ante for next season as I'll be living an hour closer to Vermont.
