Replying to Does Jay peak or smugglers notch check season passes?

So I’m moving to Stowe this winter and money is going to be super tight. I’m working at Stowe to get the pass there but only going to ski there during the week and elsewhere when the weekends are slammed. I just graduated so I can’t use my college discount anymore, anyone know if either resort checks thoroughly? I was going to have my brother buy it under his name because he is still in school. I’ve got the icon but everywhere in that northern Vermont area is independent, other than sugarbush. Thanks
