Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Epic out of the running. Even their local pass would cost us $90 more than the full Ikon pass. And I would rather have Stratton/Killington/Sugarbush as my VT options than only Okemo (the only VT option on Epic local). They both have great options in Rockies so that isn't a factor. So choosing between Ikon, Peak and Montage at this point - and most likely we will do one of the passes not "option 7" as the kids are with me both winter long weekends next year, when PS&R cards and the BOGOs we get with their season rentals are blacked out.

We’ve set entire truckloads of tombstones of people born in the 50s and 60s but luckily most people make it to at least age 75 for men and 80 for women... 1 Quote

I cant imagine too many Gettysburg area /Maryland locals are going to see the hunter, Crotched, Mt. Snow etc. options as a perk. I wouldn't drive 7 hours or so for Mt. Snow. That's insane. Would be quicker and easier to fly to Denver for SLC. 2 Quote

Expand Dont think I'll ever go to JH. Skiing 3 or 4 groomers all day for several days would get repetitive.

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Posted March 5, 2019 For us the difference with the Ikon base is it would save us $380 but limit us to 5 days at each of the 3 VT areas. Kids ranked CB as their least favorite of the options, so it got voted off the island, tiki torch and all Quote
eaf Posted March 5, 2019 Report Posted March 5, 2019 You get ruled by two underage women. Be a man and get three Mountain Creek passes. Dirt cheap, close, has three majestic mountains in one and you won't be called a gaper there. Ski it every day because it's in your backyard. No need to drive for half a day to be hit with crowds and same sheets of eastern ice as here. 1 Quote
