To buy a season pass or not - straw poll

I moved out here from the flatlands not too long ago and am wrapping up my second season of some inbounds, some BC here in the cascades. With Crystal offering springtime benefits for next season's passes I'm strongly considering taking buying a pass this year.

I've skied about enough days to break even both of the past two winters, but it's been spread around following the snow (mostly Crystal, some Baker and Stevens, a couple of Whistler trips). Weekdays usually aren't an option and I haven't been a night skier but that's partly the mentality of needing to get value out of full price tickets. I'm embarrassed to say I've never skied at Alpental but have spent quite a few days at Crystal and have kind of fallen in love with it. But there's no night skiing there and the drive from North Seattle isn't ideal.

I suppose I'm trading flexibility to choose the best weather/terrain of the day, for the ability to ski more days (especially consecutive and marginal-weather weekend days).

1) Do you have a pass? If so, why there and not the alternative mountains?
2) Is the spring/summer skiing at Crystal actually worthwhile?

Snoqualmie is $629 [edit: $519] at the moment - Crystal is at $800.

Thanks!

Skii BC here and buy a cheap Colorado pass and commute for good area skiing...

Snoqualmie has various levels of pass. If you'll be doing a lot of backcountry skiing on weekends then their weekday pass can pay off well if it gets you out night skiing often. Especially in la Nina years...

That price for Snoqualmie was the price for 2015-16 after all early season deals had ended. The price usually comes down a couple hundred when you buy it pre season.

I like Snoqualmie because it's super convenient, has night skiing, lots of options for backcountry and the season pass price is cheaper than all the rest.

Get the cheap Snoco pass at early prices, and then decide what other pass you want. For me Crystal is such a hassle to get to that I no longer even buy a pass. Snoco has great skiing, although they could definitely stay open later in the spring.

Depending on your location/ability to travel you should also consider the VERY cheap spring passes in the Washington State Southern Recreational Region (aka Oregon). Timberline is offering theirs now for $109 and Bachelor's is/was $159, IIRC. Both mountains are assured through May 31 and Timberline of course runs all summer (on a different, expensive pass).

Spring skiing is only GV unless you poach into Northway.
Hamster runs down GV are extremely boring after a while, most of the time in fact.. I find GV runs too short and boring even on a powder day.
I do it because I live only 20 mins away, if I had to drive 2 hrs I would only do it very occasionally.
As I am lapping GV I keep telling myself...." come late August I'd kill to ski anything.... it helps but its still really boring.
It can get sticky in the PM.
If you are the social type and like to dress up in Hawaiian shirts and then have a few beers at the Summit House patio it's  Ok I guess.
I try and take the seasonal hint and go BC touring or Mountain biking instead.
WA spring= Touring season....not skiing sticky snow with hamsters.
