I just pulled that price right from the site. Not my fault they didn't mention that is the late cost, and what the early prices were. I will change it.
Someone should do a grid with season pass prices, and then Newpylong would have the information he needed.

At these prices, you can go out west and get much much more value for the dollar.

I think we have some pretty good values at Sugarbush too! All the details are posted now on sugarbush.com. Hope to keep going as long as last Spring too.

Wow! Buy an adult pass and a kid 12 & under skis for free. That is very family-friendly.

That is a great deal for families with small kids compared to K, the Spring pass for $199 is good and the youth pass for $269 blows away Killington's Young adult and Junior passes. The senior passes are also better than K's.
$739 for a midweek pass is pretty expensive? That's $100 more than my blackout pass at K which Sugarbush doesn't even offer and twice as much as K's midweek pass?

We will be checking Sugarbush out in the next few weeks for 2 or 3 days. Love that area, just a bit too far a drive for us to really get our money's worth with any kind of pass. They should've started the spring pass earlier than March 30th. I would get one if it started mid March...

As always, nice light touch by Win. He could have come in with a cut and paste job from the website, but he's patient enough to just troll out the bait, knowing full well someone else will post it for him. He's obviously paying attention to his Killington competition, and coming after them where they've been weakest: length of season and kids programs. POWDR has too often operated as if they were in a vacuum, and it has cost them enormously. Also, Win doesn't rely on surrogates. Skiingsnow, et al, are harmless enough, but relying on a 20 year old kid to do your dirty work? Time for Killington to grow a set.

He's definitely trying to get the families that are pissed at K. Hey, why not. That's capitalism. Can't beat free skiing for the kids and the youth pass is super cheap. For my wife and I who don't have kids and try to avoid holidays it would cost us almost twice as much going from $1000 at K to almost $2000 at Sugarbush...
