Unfortunately is is quite expensive for passes. Every one I know is doing pretty much a combination of the following:
PC ($375) + Brighton ($479 i think)
PC ($375) + Skins (free!)
Brighton ($479 i think) + Skins (free!)
Most of the kids I know are just doing PC and then getting skins and such and will be hiking this year. The PC pass is so hard to not get. $375 for a student is dirt cheap, wish we were all still in HS we could get one for $150 :(. Bird is $500+. Most people cant afford both PC and Brighton but some are kind of making it by. But as I said most will be hiking this year and will either be having a PC or Brighton pass to go along with it.
