Thoughts on passes

Hi All

So I live in Socal. Closest mountain is either Snow Summit / Mountain high to me I am planning 4 days in Canyons or Park City (Hotel booked in PC but can change) and also 4 days in Winterpark. I was planning to visit mammoth a couple of times for maybe 2 days at a time as well as having a couple of days at snow summit and might end up in having a couple of weekends in the Seattle area over the season but not confirmed.

Questions:

There is no pass that covers where I want I know I can get discounted tickets for Snow summit and Mammoth from Costco. So my real question is can I buy reduced tickets for Winterpark / Canyons around $60-$70 per day before I get there? Or am I better to change Canyons to Solitude and take the max pass hoping that I can make it to Snoqualmie and maybe even change mammoth to Boreal even though its a further drive?

Another option might be to take the mountain collective pass but this would involve going to Alta / Snowbird in UT and then somewhere in CO. It would give me 2 days at each resort and 50% other days.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, I found a deal which I signed up for. Mountain High has an offer at the $349 + you get access to Powder Alliance and then I can add $299 MAX Pass.

So with this I get access to everything I need. It means I need to swap to a hotel in Sandy instead of PC but thats fine. It also means I need to change from Mammoth to Lake Tahoe so a bit extra drive from hopefully my left passes will come down to about $40 a day.

PC can wait for another year this year its Brighton, Solitude.

in my opinion, the Mountain Collective pass seems to have almost every resort worth checking out in North America. Id go for that, especially with it having Revy and Telluride on it now.

I decided to buy the mountain high season pass it was reduced and got a buddy pass (no idea what to do with that). My mtnhigh pass comes with powder alliance which gives me 3 days at various places and I upgraded it to the max pass so $649 in total.

Which give me unlimited night skiing at mtnhigh for a few weeks its worth going.
2 x 5 days in Utah
5 days in winter park
3 days in Stevens pass

Plus maybe 3 days in Arizona and either 3 or 5 daya in Tahoe either sierra or borena.
