No pass, most likely. Probably a pair of dynafits instead. Lots and lots of touring.

no pass? there are plenty of days that b.c. sucks, especially in New England. The more I go touring the more I realize the true value of a pass.
I like hiking and all but sometimes you just wanna go skiing. I suppose you'll get in superb shape doing this.

I'm not sure if I'm getting a pass cause if I work at Magic I won't need one to ride there and I can ride at other mountains for free or discount tickets! It's all a win, if you can put up with some of the people you have to encounter.

Still a bunch of inbound days, I'll just spread them over a bunch of different mountains. This season I had the triple major pass and didn't even get close to breaking even. Basically I get about 3-6 days at MRG, Cannon, Wildcat, and Burke so a season pass just isn't worth it.

I got the Tenney pass since it was so cheap. I def want to do the Wachusett one again next year too...since it's only 25 minutes away from me. Other than that I will pick up some of the Ski NH single ticket deals for some variety.

Killington, and probably a savings card at Sundown; I figure if it's mainly weekday nights at Sundown with weekends at Killington, then a full pass to Sundown probably won't be justified. Killington for the bumps, and it's far enough north already that Sugarbush is unpalatable.

Think we're going to go with Mt. Snow passes next year. Killington just wasn't worth the extra drive this year with Mt. Snow being so aggressive with their snowmaking -- we used to go to K early/late before/after Mt. Snow was open, but obviously that wasn't how it played out this year, and I feel like that will continue to be the case. Then maybe we'll do the occasional weekend elsewhere.

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.

Hidden Valley offered their unlimited pass for $189 for a limited time so I decided to go for that, so I could go at night, on weekends and holidays. It's only $70 more than I paid for the weekday pass this season and I got a pass for my 5 year old son for $25 with the unlimited pass, so I can bring him with me now that he is into skiing and has gotten pretty good.

i'm kinda stuck with killington for another year. problem is the ride. i'd much rather do the bush or mrg but adding an hour each way to the ride every weekend would just be too much. once they perfect beaming i'm outa there.

I'll be a pass holder at Sundown again most likely. The rest of my days will be spread around.
