Passes: Do my eyes deceive me . . . .?

I'm so glad. I had somehow thought that someone had slipped me a "mickey." It makes me so glad someone else thinks that too!

Well, the passes are finally up; no mention of extra days. Unlimited is now $339, up from $279 early season last year. I guess that means there now is 22% more terrain? 22% fewer people? 22% bigger speakers at Central???

Just read the fine print; the only difference is the ability to ski Alpy on weekends?

Yep, prices are posted AGAIN, less than what I saw the first time around but no midweek Boyne tickets. What was up with that?????

I really can't believe it. It looks like no more midweek pass. The closest thing appears to be this:

Someone please tell me I'm wrong.


With crystal and the summit now firmly in corporate hands the end of well priced skiing in the northwest has arrived.

for what its worth, if Snoqualmie wasn't owned by a big corporation, I doubt they would've had deep enough pockets to give all the 04/05 season pass holders a freebie season pass in 05/06.

Yeah, its too bad that Snoqualmie isn't offering the mid-week pass anymore, but the pricing for the other passes is still a pretty decent deal compared with the bigger resorts.

Yeah it looks like the mid-week pass is gone -- but now they offer a "Night" pass for $209 -- that might be good for "lift ski conditioning" and touring on weekends.
