Replying to Pass Dilemma (Vermont)

So, I'm not from Vermont... this will be my first season living and riding here as a freshman at UVM. Basically I know little to nothing about any of the mtns up here. All I know is I want to ride a lot this season.
My decision comes down to either a pass to Stowe for $375 or the Triple Major pass (jay, mad river, bolton) for $259. I have friends going both ways. Good friend with a car that is doing triple but UVM runs buses on weekends. I also my have more access to a car going whatever way I want after thanksgiving. I feel like I just dont know enough about the resorts to make a decision and I've been changing my mind by the minute so any imput would be amazing.
