UVM Ski pass?

I'm a incoming freshman at UVM, and my grandparents' graduation present was to buy my ski pass. From what I've heard, the main two option are the Jay-Mad River-Bolton Valley triple pass, or just a single pass to Stowe.

I've only skied Jay and Bolton (and on shitty days) so I'm not too sure about the park situation. I know that Stowe definitely has a dope park (though not from experience.)

On any average day, I probably ski 60-70% park, unless there is fresh snow or pow.

Could any other Vermonters give me some insight on this?

Thanks!

i got the triple maj last year, and then had alot ( not all) friends with everyone who had a stowe pass. the longer you can wait to see who's getting what will help you,

thats my 2 cents

My freshman year I got the Triple Major and I loved it. It was about 50/50 between my friends between that and the Stowe pass. So on days nobody was going to jay/bolton/mrg I borrowed somebodys stowe pass and went there.

Sophomore year I got the Stowe pass because nobody else was getting the Triple Major. It was a fun season but I wish i could have gone up to Jay more.

Saying that I mostly only ski trees and backcountry and only about like 20% park. Stowe's park is legit as hell though. Jay's is ok but its still getting there.

If you're really gonna ski park 80% of the time I say go with Stowe. That being said sugarbush has pretty decent park from what I've heard as well(Haven't been) which is close as well.
