Replying to What is Best Season Pass Deal in the North East?

I am a part time student but I think I want to try to get the Stratton / Okemo / Sunapee pass.
Has anyone tried to swing it as a part time student?

I live in Worcester, Ma and don't want to own a Season Pass to a mountain >2.5 hours away.

I wouldn't mind going in with a couple of people to get a group deal either.

I have skied Sunapee, but not Stratton or Okemo. I know Stratton is a great mountain though.

Anyone else thinking of buying a Season Pass yet?
