Which 2012 Season Pass for You?

[buellski]

We'll be back at Sunapee next season.

Pow Mow-maybe midweek and maybe a snowbird pass assuming I can get a decent part time night gig in one of the hotel restaurants

Just being out there I would buy a Snowbird Spring pass. From March 1st (till the end which this year looks like June) for $400 would be worth it. For the regular season I would look for someplace else. (for me probably Solitude which is quickly becoming a favorite). Hope to make the Wasatch my home someday too - good luck. Looking forward to next years trip already.

In the mean time for me its still a Camelback Pass (my personal gym) and what ever will give me the best deals for resorts in the state of Vermont.

I wasn't looking to actually pay for the snowbird pass, that would be free. Should that not work out and I work in the valley or Park City then I would buy a pass to one of the bcc/lcc areas. That is a tough call! I miss those Colorado pass prices already.

My wife and I are going with the Descente Passport as our seasons pass. Being conservative, if I can use 6 of the tickets, that's $45/day plus a jacket, and anything above that is just gravy.

Boyne Silver at $629.00. October to May season and SR is the closest big mountain to me at an hour and 15 minutes. I should get at least 30 days on it which would work out to $21.00 a day.

Boyne gold passes for all of us.

What is that? I have not heard of that pass before.

Buy one of these jackets, and it comes with 40 free lift tickets.

Obviously it's limited on the East Coast, but there's a fairly active ticket trading thread on Epic.

Holy sh%^ !!!! :blink: A $279 jacket AND 43 day tickets? What am I doing buying a pass? I take it that there are blackouts and one pass per mountain or something....

Some places diversifying their offerings for next year: Sunday only passes at Stratton (249), Snow (299), Okemo (317 incl tax).

Some eliminating options... no night only pass at Crotched :/

I already bought my Hidden Valley, NJ unlimited pass for next season. I'll also get 2 Triple Play cards at Mountain Creek when they start selling them in the fall. Assuming that my son's seasonal leases come with a coupon book again I'll get my free frequent skier card for Belleayre ($14 off weekday tickets, $13 off weekends and every 5th ticket is free).

 

[WakeboardMom]

Boyne Silver. It's particularly appealing because we can lock in the early rate and spread out the payments.

Also - we love that Bretton Woods offer that allows us to ski for $15 on Sunday afternoons with no blackouts.

As for me, Alta or Alta/Snowbird. Yes, you read this right.

Woah! This is a huge change, I was thinking an MRG pass or a Killington pass. You moving to UT?

Sunday only at Snow for $300??? I may have to consider that since my kids will still be free. dayum.

Now there's an upgrade!

Yes. My wife is doing her residency at the University of Utah. If anyone know of any law firms in Salt Lake that are hiring let me know.

Very awesome! We'll have to do some skiing next winter!

I'd take a year off if I were you

No surprise here but the kids and I will have passes at Magic again.
