I bought my Okemo pass at the end of April and have received my application for the North Carolina Gold Pass (all mountains in the state) that I'll be mailing in shortly.

I got 2 passes again back in April/May when prices were the cheapest...one for Boreal (with no blackouts), which always opens really early (last season my first ski day was Oct. 5!!) due to great snowmaking guns, and a Squaw Bronze pass to use for most of the season once things kick off there. So next year's ski season is paid and the passes are in my jacket pocket already!

I've skiied in NY a lot; Never heard of Royal Mt., where is that?
I know this one!
Royal Mountain is a locals' mountain, like West Mountain near Glens Falls. Excellent snowmaking (I met the guy in charge) and a great family area.
Exit 26 on the NYS Thruway at Fonda/Fultonville and go north to Johnstown. 29 West toward Caroga Lake. (You can search on Google Maps and Royal Mountain comes up.)

I haven't had to pay for my pass for the last two years, and this year I do...at $1300. I also moved to a mesa an hour away from the ski area. I'm considering not buying a season pass...hmmmm. I know I'll regret if I don't, but I can't stand how much this mountain rips off locals.
Ugh. Yeah, our "cheap pre-season deal" at Alta or Snowbird is $999 - or $1599 for both. Which apparently could be worse, but yeesh.
And I had no idea that Solitude is now even worse than Alta at $1099 until I was discussing pass prices with a friend yesterday.
Anyway - no real pass for me this year. I bought the new Alta Gold Card which just automatically charges your credit card at $40/day when you use it. I'm planning on a lot of XC skiing and snowshoeing this winter.

Geez, I wish T-Ride would have a deal like that! Maybe I'll suggest it to "The Powers-That-Be".
And, like you, I'm thinking about a lot more XC this year. Living on a mesa does have its highlights!
Yeah, this is the first year for the Gold Card option. We've had a Silver Card option for years - which is transferrable to anyone with a UT driver's license and you can buy a ticket at the window with it for $45/day. (The Gold Card is non-transferrable.) But the hassle of going and waiting in line to buy a ticket with the Silver Card when everyone else I'm skiing with has a pass and just jumps in line was a big drawback. So this new option is cheaper, plus you can just go jump in line and the electronic scanners automatically do the billing, which makes it a lot more convenient. (I know it sounds like a whiny complaint but if it's a longer line everyone else starts skiing and I have to stand around trying to find them after they do a run and... it was just a big pain in the butt!) They finally made my decision easy for the first time in a few years!

I'm still undecided. I should have my Copper pass for coaching (unless something goes wonky there, you just never know) and am deciding between an Epic Pass or a Colorado Pass and a 4 pack to Loveland. I blame Katy and Betsy for hooking me on Loveland and making that part of the equation.

Robyn,
I only wish I could choose. And it makes me NUTS to know how much cheaper passes are up in Summit/Eagle than they are down here. Oy.
Robyn

Oh, trust me, I know how lucky I am. Sometimes I wonder how those of you who don't have the choices and competition do it. I almost wish I hadn't fallen for Loveland last May because it would make the decision easier but we had so much fun that day and avoiding the tunnel up to the traffic after a day of skiing would be nice.

Upgraded from the Colorado Pass to the Epic Pass. Upgraded maily because have friends in Reno and plan on skiing Heavenly at Lake Tahoe with them this year. But the added bonus is that the Epic Pass has no black out dates and unlimited days at Vail and Beaver Creekl!!!!

Okay, I guess I shouldn't complain TOO hard about my commute...
This is what I am forced to look at every day.
