How much do you spend on a season pass?

[Sultan Guy]

I am curious what everyone spends on a pass at their favorite local hill.

[ursle]

289.95$ midweek Stratton, Okemo & Sunapee

[www.oldsnowboards.com]

Mt Hood Meadows , Oregon = 450$ approx. for an early season "4x4" (four people buy their passes at one time)

Used to pay 800$ early season for a full adult pass, 1000$ in season.

[John H]

$230, mid week pass at Mt. St. Louis

[Guest]

$1500 here. You pay to play, and I have no qualms with it.

[Snowman]

$599 get you unlimited usage at Beaver Creek, Vail, Heavenly, Keystone, Breckenridge and Arapahoe Basin. Screaming Deal!

Think Snow!

zilch - employee pass. I work 7-10 hours a week to feed the addiction.

$199 Kirkwood pass. No Saturdays or holidays, which I never show up for anyway. Got a corporate pass deal for a few years.

[Dave Pushee]

FREE works best for me. Volunteer job at the mountain.

[shane groshong]

Early season at Bachelor is $799. After October 1st it goes up. I believe is to be $999, but could be wrong.

[Bobby Buggs]

FREE- I have major connections or only carve online,

Was that put in for Bobdea

[pebu]

I would definately pay more (for a good mountain) but in michigan mine only cost ~210.

[tex1230]

I'm into self-abuse, so I pay by the day...

(haven't had a pass in a long time, but usually get whatever discount/frequent user card from 2 or 3 mountains)

[Sultan Guy]

I get an industry deal which costs me $299 plus tax for a 7 day pass.

30-40 times this season equals cheap carving IMHO.

[dingbat]

Where's the "They pay me" option?:p

[Steve Prokopiw]

I bought the very first non-employee pass I have ever had.169.00 midweek at Lookout.Already been worth it!

[Jack M]

We should re-do this poll with options for East/West USA and Canada. In the US, I believe eastern passes are generally more expensive than western passes due to more snowmaking and grooming needed here, but I'm not sure.

[RideGuy]

$99 5-night pass at Blue Mountain.

[lowrider]

Two adults, 1 student season pass $1300. $450 for snowboard team .First race away at private club ( $156 Beavervalley Ontario)so you khow how much riding you get in! Up at 4:30 Am 3 hr drive.Can't wait till i'm 90 to relive these days in my feeble mind. :lol:

576 this year since Mammoth opened up their special club in the springtime. I think it's 860 at Costco and 1600 if you buy from the mountain in season.

I spent $1400. on a pass to teton village and that is the discounted price thru my job. I had to work a lot of overtime. Currently Teton Village has the lowest snowfall recorded since 1975. To date, due to low snowfall, injured shoulders (touching the snow) and knee issues (thanks to uni-cycling) i have a whopping three hours on the snow. :(

I paid $149 for my season pass at Snow King - good 7 days plus 5 nights per week. (No bro-deal - that's the standard price for early purchase.) The top of the mountain hasn't been open due to lack of snow, but the good carving terrain is on the lower mountain anyway, and the grooming has been pretty good this year.

I do remember that winter of 1975-76... no snow in town until well into January.

[Call me jack]

Free. i'm a lift operator at my hill... and i'm not exactly certain of my snowboarding career after i quit working there... :-\

Canada's expensive, at least in my neck of the woods.

Adult season passes :

Sunshine $899

RCR Superpass (Kimberley, Fernie, Nakiska) $1699

Lake Louise $859

Nakiska $729.

Those are mid season prices. I'm pretty sure that our crew paid about $450 for the Nakiska passes preseason, and Sunshine passes can get as cheap as $529 if you buy them in March.

I just buy the ski cards because even if I do 20 days a season, I do a lot of tripping around and only ride about half of that close to home. Lake Louise card is $100, which covers 2 days, then it's $50 a day after that. Sunshine card is $79, day 1, 4 and 7 free and $58 a day otherwise. RCR card is $79, same deal with free days, and it counts across all three hills.

I have ADD when it comes to riding. I can't imagine anything more boring than riding at the same hill day in, day out. When we have 14 good ski areas within a few hours drive, I'd rather pay a bit more and hit where the conditions are good - quality over quantity, and all that.
