Replying to Ski resorts

what do you look for in ski resorts??, a good park, good food, big mountain, powder? , glades, bars???, how much do you usually pay for one lift ticket/ or seasons pass, I bought a seasons pass to sunday river it has like 8 peaks and its huge for a mountain in maine, it cost like 60$ for a day pass and 40$ for a night/ half day pass, and I only bought my seasons pass for 350$, but there is this wicked smaller mountain that is closer to my house, whith the same prices, yet a tenth of the size(shawnee peak)
