Been skiing at Big Boulder for the past two seasons and they always have a sick rail setup and medium jumpline. They even put together a pro line if your feeling ballsy. You just gotta know how to dodge jerrys if you're gonna shred there hahaha

honestly thats so true, the park setups at BB are FIRE but it comes with a price of Jerrys laying on some of the landings. too bad the mountain is too small for park passes. (I personally like the park pass! but I know most of NS hates them)

You also get access to the midwest resorts I believe. My midwest hill is owned by Peak Resorts and they just added this thing called the "peak pass". It was $399 spring price and I get access to any resort owned by peak. I meant to buy the "Peak Ohio Pass" but I accidentally clicked the peak pass since it was the same price as my ohio pass as the previous season. They must have lowered Ohio season pass prices finally. Looks like I am doing a trip to mount snow or big boulder this spring.

If anyone is interested in buying the Drifter Pass I can save you $20 off the price of the pass if you use the code DWALL at checkout. I absolutely loved this pass last year. It pays for itself after 4-5 days of skiing! Feel free to DM me if you have any questions. Can't wait to see everyone out there!

Same here. There's no reason I need to buy a pass to 30+ mountains when I'm only gonna be riding at one anyways.

Dam haven't even really heard about this pass but def interested. I've gotten an ikon or epic the past few years living in denver but never got around to getting one this year cuz I'm gonna be home in NH a lot longer this year and was hesitant to spend that much right now. are there any other decent passes for New England mountains, specifically NH?

Update. Season is pretty ass so far. I'm totally down to boycott Vails pass next year. It might not add up financially, but you'd be fighting the good fight, man. We're getting robbed out here.
