finally mountains are starting to realize ppl are broke out of college and in general cannot afford lift tickets and passes and instead of losing out on serious potential revenue they are making realistic opportunities for biz.

Stratton PG-29 PASS ages 18-29 no blackouts= $299

People will always buy a season pass no matter how much they charge, its cheaper in the long run if youre going to be skiing all the time. but at the same time the mountain makes a lot more money from daily tickets. fortunately though most mountains offer a college pass. got my Bridger Bowl pass for 330, a frequent Sky card and getting a college pass at Stevens Pass for 289 for winter break. Rad as fuck.

Volunteer ten days as a ambassador and get your season pass for free that way. If you cant even commit ten days of volunteering you might as well just buy day tickets.
