With skiers considering more local options this year, and since Wachusett sent out an email last week with info on passes for this coming season, I figured I'd start the thread up early.
Wachusett is keeping the pass prices the same as last year, and adding a new pass that is even cheaper. Previously the Bronze (M-F days, all 7 nights, holiday black outs) was the cheapest option. This year there is also the Steel Pass, good only M-Th days, for $189. Like many hills, they are offering a credit or deferral if you let them know before opening day (often around Nov. 20ish.) Also new this year is a payment plan, but if you pay in full before July 15 you get a $25 discount. Prices go up after 10/14 for regular prices, and after 11/18 for GPS group prices. (Bronze gps with early full payment is only $254.)
I'll be getting the Bronze again this year. The Steel is tempting since I never go nights, but I'd hate to miss out on a good snowy Friday. And if they keep the women's clinics the same this year, I'll be signing up for that again too.
