No. Your only options are to join Nybora which is a freestyle program which costs 450 to join and then they give you a cheap pass but you also get to hit the Nybora jumps which are way nicer and bigger than the public jumps. Your other option would be to get a job there and get a free pass. I work as an instructor there. It's super easy to get the job and you can work as much or as little as you want. If you don't do either of those I think they give you a better price if you buy it before October or something like that.

Welch Village is gonna be the nearest hill. It got some heat last year for a lacking park, but throughout the years Welch has been home to some of the best skiers around. Plus I think they have some really cheap pass deals as well.

Welch has the college pass...the park is on the down over the past few years...last good year of it was 07/08 season. Who knows what this year will bring.

but there are a decent group of skiers to ride with there.

I go to Carleton in northfield. I ski at welch mostly though I sometimes go to buck hill. It's fun and the college pass is pretty clutch. The park was kinda shitty last year but maybe they'll get it together this winter. Maybe i'll see you around northfield. Have fun at Olaf!
