Killington. There is a vast variety of areas to ski within the ski area boundaries, then all the aprés-ski places are all along the access road, including a place to live.

So no matter what, you get a 6-month (on average) ski season with places to go "apréski" when the mountain closes, and basically the entire community (vacationer or local) is almost all nestled within one access road that leads to the mountain.

For a pass, these are the prices that are valid through 10/16. http://www.killington.com/site/tickets/winter_passes/season_passes

I think he'd be better off sticking to one mountain or two if they were right next to eachother. That way he would be able to rent an apartment or stay in the same place. In addition he could get a Job either on the mountain or a job for after skiing. Finally he would be able to make friends and find people to ski with instead of tackling a new atmosphere every week or month
