What up y’all. Back on snow after 3 years of cancer. Stoked out of my mind. What’s the go-to pass for east coasters now? New Yorker that used to hit Big Boulder and carinthia with an epic pass in the 2019-2020 season.

Congrats on beating cancer man. Big boulder is dead but carinthia still has one of the best parks itw (if they get the snow). I miss the farm and prospector pretty bad these days, but from what ive seen seeing and hearing it sounds like the park crew has been on a heater the past few seasons.
Whatever pass sugurbush is on is also a safe bet, very similar to carinthia the builds are super creative yet trickable.

Really hard to say what is the best pass, all have some good mountains and missing some other really good ones. id probrably say Ikon since you get days at loon, killington, unlimitted at Bush, Sunday river, and sugarloaf. Wish there were more pass options available.

Im biased as hell but Carinthia. Bush is awesome, but they have a really short park season. Weird management doesn't setup a park until they are fully open than its the first thing to close basically.

Indy pass is a good option to move around the east coast on a budget. It’s like 400$ and has two days at many smaller east coast resorts, including Jay Peak I believe. Seems like a really good deal if you want to check some different places out.

Congrats on the comeback! I hate Vail/Epic as much as the next guy, but the value on that Northeast pass is great IMO.
I really miss Carinthia! I'm on a local hill's pass in Southern NH.

Ikon if you're trying to go on any trips. I'm not the biggest fan of how vail resorts are run and the types of crowds they attract (alterra isn't much better...).

I copped epic northeast this year..planning on hitting mid week cause fuq weekend crowds...unless you are in the 207/northern NH to get the Boyne Nitro Pass, Central VT to get Killy pass and northern vt to get bush, then it unfortunately is really the only option.

Bush & Killington Parks go hard now. Get an Ikon if parks are what you want and pick up a Killington spring pass if you run outa days they're cheap maybe 350 for mid march to close.
