I saw a chart that indicated that the base did not have any blackouts at Sugarbush. I also saw that they have dropped the "Base Plus" pass.

OK. Maybe I read the chart wrong. It was put together by someone who was aggregating every ski area’s access.

Montage is okay, the expert trails are at the bottom as you likely know since you camped on the easy stuff up top.
I wouldn't drive from NYC to ski Montage. That being said its worth skiing if you are passing through.
I ski Montage as I live in Pa and love it for a 'local' mountain on Indy but yea .... wouldn't come from NYC considering Kusty will have better options north of NYC with similar drive time

It wasn't and insult. Sorry you took it that way. I was just stating that it's wierd to me that someone would have exact stats on a lift. Most people my age are not data junkies and track all kinds of stats. I don't track my data, I don't download apps to see how much I ski. I just ski, Alot. Just like pretty much everybody I ski. This fascination with Apps and Data is something more prone to people in there 20's and maybe 30's. I am sure there other outliers.

Yes Base Pass at Sugarbush still has the blackouts. Whoa, that would have been interesting on holidays. LOL

smart choice...
My buddy wanted to go and camp and I said no. I'm not camping on a ski slope.
He didn't want to spend $$ on a hotel and I never went. no regrets

Snow report paints a realistic picture of conditions this morning and got to believe it with the huge temperature change. Would be curious to know how it is from anyone out there today. Weekend looks chilly and windy esp Saturday.

It's going to be quite frisky this weekend for sure. Should help start to thin the herds of fair weather skiers, clocks forward, onto spring!

I picked a great week to sprain my knee. This is the first mediocre ski weekend since before Christmas.

I'm heading out shortly before I pack up and head up to Jay. I will let you know. The snow in the parking lot is frozen solid. It was not last night. Groomers went out late night and are still working this Morning. The wind is ripping.

sugarbush really trying to sell 500 dollar college passes versus mrg's 170... lmaooo i know where i'll be skiing.
$500 for Bush doesn't sound too bad to me. College passes to either Stowe or Bush were about $350 in the late 90s when I was a UVM student.
$170 to MRG obviously a steal, but MRG isn't for everyone.

Yes, they like coming to SB over MRG because they generally have less time to ski between classes and social life so they want to get as many runs in as possible. They also go to ME a lot. Surprising amount of Midd students too who like bigger mountain skiing than the Snow Bowl.

This is what was on the website.
"There are a few more newsworthy(ish) bits. The immensely popular For20s pass is coming back. This is the pass that gives anyone ages 19-29 all-mountain access without blackouts for just $469. An all-mountain College Pass will be just $399 and college kids wanting more of the local feel can grab a Mt. Ellen-only pass for just $199."
Just facts mama.
