i just got an email from travel zoo and i figured i'd pass it on. i don't know much about the hill, but they're selling a season pass for 83$ instead of 659$ at Shawnee Peak. it's worth checking out.

That's such a great deal but I don't know, it's a 5 hour drive from my house, I don't think it's worth it.

shawnee peak is a pretty small mountain but... an $83 seasons pass is an $83 seasons pass. worth it for sure if youre planning on skiing like 3 days there.

i live 25ish minutes away from shawnee peak, take it from me, 83 dollars is not worth it. Plus you have to get here, find a place to stay, business wise it makes perfect sense because you have to spend so much money to get here and then you'll be buying food and most likely lodging as well. not worth putting yourself into it.

Sunday River kicks ass. I will settle for nothing less for a 4 hour road trip.

that's definitely a deal but everyone knows if you want real skiing in Maine, you go to the loaf or Sunday River. I haven't skiied Shawnee Peak since I was in 5th and 6th grade, because the drive isn't worth terrain.

Shawnee is kinda fun sometimes.  I grew up skiing there a long time ago and usually try and go back at least once a winter.  That's a cheap price for a seasons pass but i always just go to monday night madness (it's like 10$ for a pass from 4pm-9pm or something)

i live 40 minutes away, not worth going during the day..... but i had a night pass last year and it was decent so buy it for night use only!!
