Perhaps I'm missing it, but what is the Early Bird price cut off date for Epic?

not sure on that... I know if you lock in now you only pay $49 and the rest is charged in September or something.

There's no set date.

Also, instead of raising the price, last year they start taking away the "freebies" like buddy pass etc.

If you give them your e-mail address, you'll be bombarded with announcement of such price-increase/benefit-reduction ahead of time.

20% off food AND BEVERAGE up to a bill of $150 a day is new

Now a wet, sloppy, slice of pizza with gelatinous "cheese" will only cost 1/2 day's wages.

Overall our costs go down vs peak but we add sunapee and february vacation week option at stowe.

I may be missing it but there does not appear to be a northeast pass for kids 7 - 13. Ages 5 & 6 are $49 and under 5 are free, absolute steal.

Fix it for you.

It's not like non-Vail mountains have better or foods

Looks like you can apply the price of one lift ticket bought this spring towards the price of a 20/21 pass.

Just an fyi. Looks like this only works if you purchase your pass in full rather than $49 down.

Vails new pass just released. Game changer. Get ready to get epic.

Have to buy Local Passes for the kids - $379 a piece.

I presume you're talking about this?

The Northeast Value Pass? Not a bad deal if you ski NH a lot.

Also northeast midweek pass. Great if you (like me) can't do weekends and only ski in the northeast.

While snowboards do have a negative impact on moguls, it is minor and overblown to the point of being basically inconsequential. The two best mountains for moguls in New England are Sugarbush and Killington. Both have better lines and spacing than MRG; not to say MRG bumps are bad. AlpineZone mobile app

This post is fake news. Seriously, how could anyone claim this?

The worst thing is that the drifter pass is now gone. That was $400 and unlimited to Peaks Resorts

Now, it's $600, and you just have Okemo, Sunapee and 10 days at Stowe.

I know so many people age 20-30 that have used this pass for many years. The really question is whether they will pay the $200 price increase and get the new england one, or will they choose better alternatives like Boyne's Nitro New England pass that's $400 and Loon, Sugarloaf and Sunday River??

Not fake news - Killington really is one of the best mountains in New England for bumps. When they're not grooming everything flat, at least.

You're assuming Nitro comes back, Boyne hasn't announced NEP lineup yet.

killington is not even close to being guilty of that cardinal sin of stratton and okemo. k leaves a lot of stuff ungroomed every day.

I really only ski there in April and May. The strips they groom up the middle of Superstar practically every spring morning are an abomination. So many beautiful zipper lines destroyed to feed the early morning groomer crowd before they head to their cars at 9:30am for parking lot barbecue.

 

[KustyTheKlown]

on a typical 100% midwinter day they generally report about 80 of 140 trails groomed. lots of stuff never ever sees a groomer

As a passholder I agree with Kusty; one reason I love K is that they do leave a lot of terrain ungroomed.

I ski until the end of April but I also agree with you that the incessant grooming of SS all spring is silly. I guess you have to try to please all clients even if only 1 trail is open. I give K credit for spending the money to groom anything in May.

Yeah that is whacky. Any idea what is up? Didn't they have the "flash sale" in February last two years?
