I’ve had gold pass and sugar passes in the past. Beech is running a solid sale right now and generally is about half of sugars pricing. Sugar is up to 860for a pass or 84.00 per day! Crazy pricing, especially how crowded it’s been last few seasons.

If you’re buying a pass, what did you get?

The only non-NC pass Ill have it Grand Targhee. Struggling to find the value in the NC passes after the last few years. It's been so overcrowded at Beech and Sugar particularly, it hasn't been that enjoyable to me...

Good to see a post from ya @davidski !

Season Pass at Sugar...got mine before June 30th because it is cheaper, we live on Oma's, and I usually ski early in the week. You are right about weekends!

This season I've got Ikon and the MCP. Skipping Indy because I've got too many trips out west planned. Had a good time using Indy in western MA and at West Mountain just north of Albany last season.

Will you be at GT in late February? I'll be there for a couple days. Driving from SLC to Big Sky with a couple of ski buddies.
2023-24: Wolf Creek in Dec, Massanutten in Jan, Feb; GT, Big Sky; Crested Butte; Alta/Snowbird in April.

Ha! I turned 70 this year so I can ski for free everywhere, at least everywhere I'm likely to go.

100% ...been watching the slow process most of the summer and fall. They have moved the lift further to the skiers right and have redesigned the area at the base of the lift to make it a little safer and easier for thru traffic. Also added a few more Snow Guns to the run....I cannot wait.
