What pass are you buying this year? and are you happy with what you got last year or changing it up? Epic vs Ikon vs Indy vs single mountain season passes, I love Carinthia but not those rumors about paid parking after already having paid hundreds...

And if you bought an Epic/Ikon, where did you spend most of your time?

Sugarbush sells a mt Ellen only pass. That’s where the park is so I don’t bother with their other peak- Lincoln or the more expensive pass needed to ride there. After that, streets, like you said.

Hopefully will have a job at HV this winter so my parents won’t have to pay for a seasons pass. Which hopefully means we’ll have enough money for another trip to killi

I got an epic pass just to ski the local hills around me in PA. Tbh though I might end up hitting a lot of street since I won’t have a car at college, I just hope it snows enough

Usually I like too sail in on my paraglider (preferably naked) and clap a few rails
then motor home instead of paying the actual ticket/pass price

That’s still a steal, my small ass hill in with like 60runs and 750ft of very charges a grand for a seasons pass, 1200 if you miss the discount. But ig they can charge that cause their the only public hill that opens early and has reliable snowmaking and 4 express lifts, in the area. Still a fuck ton of cash. If I remember right killis 365 pass was just barely over a grand and you get unlimited skiing and biking and benefits

Local nc (Beech mountain) as I’ll be a southeast park rat next season. Back to the roots (temporarily). But the resort has an agreement with Diamond peak in Tahoe so I can shred with the HOMIES if I visit Tahoe for a trip

Student pass at Gore $320 if you can hop on a club deal but $399 otherwise. Not a bad deal you get Whiteface and Belleyare as well. Whiteface usually has a nice park and Gore’s was hit or miss last year but always great all mtn skiing at Gore.

HV has some fast ass lifts and the terrain is pretty decent for how little vert it has. A grand is def still a lot when you consider some other passes out there.

Gonna get even faster the next 3 seasons and probably busy as fuck. Yodeled express this year, Mardi 6 next, and I’ve heard their talking about re using mardi’s express on cindys. Hopefully this year Moonshafow will also have a park. Park crew was told it would and they’d have more freedom and budget. HV might have a it’s first great park since like 2013/2014.

It’s just a rumor as far as I know, I scrolled through my camera roll for 10 minutes but couldn’t find it- there was a screenshot going around on ig around end of season which had the parking lots highlighted as different pricing zones, and something about free after a certain time.

It’s not a rumor, they announced like 2 months ago that like half of their parking is paid now, including the Carinthia lot on weekends.

Oh FUCK that, just didn’t want to speak too strongly when I was out of the loop. Should be sick to meet all the homies at bush this year then! :)

Had a gore/wf pass for free since I was three bc one of my parents worked at jore and I eventually worked there as well.

This winter I’m switching it up and getting an ikon pass with some other homies who had epic passes last year. They hated the epic pass reservation system and I’m burnt out from teaching skiing lol so this winter will be different by getting in some days at Stratton, Sugarkush, and Killington. Plus I’ll have more time to progress and stack clips with the homies so it’s a win/win.
