It looks like the add on is actually $263. Either way that is a nice option. To me a Blue/Cbk pass for $938 is a more attractive option thN Blue only for $675. I could enjoy spending Sat at Cbk and Sun at Blue far more often than I would ski either 2 days in a row.

Yeah but you won’t do it so it’s just hypothetical talk.

It depends on the relative pricing of megapasses. If Ikon, Epic, ORDA and Indy increased by enough then Blue/Cbk could be attractive.

I've always found Cbk to have manageable lines at their slower lifts compared to Blue. Why I would opt for them on Sat.

@GrilledSteezeSandwich This is getting good

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

Maybe we should rename this thread the "NE Ski Multipass" thread so we don't have to tax the servers with a redundant new one. We can compare all the deals right here.

I’d rather swim in the Delaware River with an open wound than do that

But that means you're skiing at camelback. 

Smh at buying a SP pass based on pricing as opposed to what mountain one actually prefers to ski at.

The off peak season pass is different as well.  I see a lot of the boomers buying that.  Right now with Blues new pricing they are basically giving away a lot of money but it’s Goodwill..those 6-9 year olds that get $50 season passes will be future race kids and jib honks and Blue fanboys and girls.  They won’t take in as much revenue as normal but miles and miles of goodwill which doesn’t show up on a balance sheet.

one more all access season, then I am going to rock the off peak pass

I haven't stood in a line at all this season at Blue, we'll ok maybe for 15 seconds at most. Especially since they added a 3rd high speed lift. Just make sure you arrive at 8:00 and ski only until 9:30. Then you can join us in the lot for Sausage Sundays

Expand  

My experience has been that the lift lines have been short all season, even on weekends. The quad seems to have been the most crowded one this year.

If I was gonna get up early enough to ski at 8 at Blue I'd rather get up 20 min earlier and ski at 830 at Hunter

I wouldn't.

Good point. If I preferred skiing at Blue and Camelback to skiing at Hunter, Snow, Okemo, Stowe, Wildcat, Sunapee, Jack Frost, Whitetail, Roundtop, Keystone, Vail, Breckenridge and Beaver Creek, I would consider paying a bit extra for that privilige.

Do you prefer skiing at Blue to skiing at that combo of areas or are you prioritizing a shorter drive/flight over what mountains you would prefer to ski at?

Ok - why is that?

Quality of snow?

Variety and challenge of terrain?

Speed / reliability / comfort of lifts?

Lack of crowds?

Typical weather?

Caring about hanging with a group of friends in the lot after skiing more than any of the above?

I try to keep it simple. I'm fortunate enough to live near a variety of areas but choose blue because it's what I prefer over anything else in the area. When I go out west lately I go to Arizona and ski Snowbowl because that's where my kid is. Easy peasy. I enjoy both places immensely so it works for me. Done.

Everyone posting in this thread (other than me of course) sucks.  Ski2live sucks for too many reasons to list.  You all suck for getting butt hurt that someone may want to ski more than 1 resort all year, and also for having the absurd notion that children  want to go to the same resort every weekend.  Grow up and do better everyone

Thanks for being the voice of reason here. I hope one day we can all get along and make this a day of kindness, and drink, eat and be merry in the parking lot.
