Seems reasonable. The days blacked out are dates you wouldn't want to spend there anyway.
summer payment plan seems nice, too
Wow that's a lot, us CO mags get away nicely with the CO Pass 5 mountains for $419 ((Beavercreek, Vail 10x's) A-basin, Keystone, and Breckenridge unlimited)
"the pass is valid mid-november to mid-april". Guess the Beast of the East is truly dead.
You know, it's so simple..Quote:

I doubt *everyone* would be happy, but only because some people are defined by their ability to complain and nitpick.
I know I would be happy.
Yeah.....it sucks.Quote:

299 midweek is nice. Unless, of course, you have a real job.
that blows. kmart without the all east option is lamer than ever, only now its more expensive than ever. this is not progress.
Someone needs to work on a newengland pass where you get 10 days at each mountain in the group. Share the wealth, spread the crowds.
I have to say I loved skiing bumps in April, here in OOtah no one enjoys moguls....

yes, and to clarify, they definitely do intend to close mid-april next year.Quote:

Let's see, you want a super cheapo season pass AND them to be open when there are leaves on the trees.? Cmon, who do you think is funding that..? :rolleyes:
On a related note http://rutlandherald.com/apps/pbcs.d...706180376/1003
no, I want them to be open october to june, and for that, i'd pay almost anything for a pass.
but nov to mid-april? even shorter than the end of the ASC era? and double the pass price to boot? come on..
without the prospect of skiing halfway into may (at least!), i see much less reason to cough up $200 more for a pass...i also expect the new owners will be groomer-happy - to make the snow "good" for its intended customer base.
too bad. i had an outstanding time there last spring...
Shit, I hadn't considered that part yet. I hope you are wrong or we might have to declare jihad on the snocats.Quote:

I knew the All for One Pass was too good to last:mad:
I can't fault them, sorry - it is pretty dead that time of year and a huge financial drag on the overall season. Just jump a Jetblue jet to Denver and hit Abasin & Loveland when the season is done in the east.. ;)Quote:

they built a helluva resort with a helluva customer base with $1300 passes and doing everything they can to provide skiing in October and June.
I would venture to say that there are 'several' better mountains in VT but everyone could always rely on Ktown for the artificial productQuote:

i wonder if ASC would have kept the place if they hadn't
built three successive snowpacks from scratch - the first two being destroyed by november+december rain and balm.
i'd love to see skiing from oct to june, but i don't think we're gonna see a climate conducive to that in mid VT - at least the october part. sadly, it's the economic climate that will keep june out of the question.

As someone on epic pointed out, if sales are going so great then why hold the season pass hostage to increase early sales? No early/late season, rumors of groomer-happy owners (wait and see I guess on that) It's not looking like Killington has anything to offer outside of 100$ meals this season.
Still waiting on the loaf to post their prices unless they did and I missed it.
Might hit killington a few times anyway to cross a couple features off my list but I don't see it being worth the added season pass cost to make a commitment to that mountain anytime soon.
With any luck Wachussett (I know..I know but it's 20min away) + Sugarloaf passes would be less $ and would make me happier. Or, just don't buy a pass anywhere, hike a lot more, and go out west twice instead of once...
I didn't contribute much to the discussion but my rant is over anyway.
Wow. that really puts the fuck in fucktarded.
Looks like a squeeze play to force folks to buy before the end of July.
Either they are feeling rich from plenty of sales already and they don't care, or they are bluffing to force the holdouts to go all-in by the deadline.
If they juice prices like this now, itll force people next year to buy early for fear of having to pay this price (or higher) if they wait around

I rode K for free and had to pay 30 at stowe. The pass prices are almost the same now. I always spent the extra few dollars to ride the better mountain and I suggest that you K pass holders spend the extra money for stowe.
Now the big decision for me. Do I buy a pass to snowbird or brighton or do I try to land a shop job in Utah.
If your going to drive all the way up to the Loaf why not just get a pass at Jay, Sugarbush, Stowe, MRG, Magic, Burke.... I think a Jay pass will get you deals at Burke.Quote:

I sincerely hope these fools spend all their money fixing Kmart's infrastructure, go broke, and sell it to someone with a skier's viewpoint.
On the upside, Boyne recently announced a Maine pass good for the Loaf and SR.
quoted from website...
The Maine Pass is a tiered season pass with three levels. The Bronze Maine Pass is $299 and is an all ages pass valid midweek non-holiday. The Silver Maine Pass is $499 and is an all ages pass valid seven days a week with 12 blackout dates on holidays and select Saturdays. The Gold Maine Pass is valid every day of the season and ranges from $399 for seniors to $799 for adults.
Oh, and if any college students are out there...Jay Peak, Burke, and MRG 3-way pass for about $270 this year.
It's either that or Magic for me this year.
Thursday through Monday. They are closed Tuesday and Wednesday.Quote:

The price difference between a full pass and the blackout pass makes the full pass extremely unattractive unless you're going to ski on at least 8-10 of those blackout days. I'm going get a blackout pass, and then buy a pretty good number of ~$40 Connecticut Ski Club tickets pre-season with a group of friends from Killington. We'll ski a few of those blackout days at Killington, but ski elsewhere too.
I'm also going to hold off on buying my pass, until the fall, hoping for more positive news out of the new owners. The blackout pass seems to be the smallest ripoff, even at $650. I'll probably ski about 40 days on it, which is $16.25 per day. Even if you only ski 20-30 days on it, and they run the mountain like shit, it's still a pretty good deal.....and Killington's going to be a whole lot less crowded this year, anyway.
If you're planning on skiing less than 15-20 days at Killington and don't have a house there (or rent a house), I would suggest just buying the Connecticut Ski Club, or spreading out your visits to other regional mountains, who are offering a better product at a better price. Killington might be big...but that's about it.
Maine pass for 499$ seems pretty reasonable. Glad they finally came out with some info on SR/sugarloaf pricing.
Probably just pay up the nose the 3-4 random times I end up @ killington this season.
Obviously Powdr will try to screw even the students... The Triple Major College pass looks like a pretty sweet deal if you don't mind a bit more of a drive: MRG, Jay, & Bolton for $249 before Oct 15. Makes me wish I was in school.Quote:
