But anybody over 29 that has no intention of skiing anything other than their home mountain just kinda ends up paying more for a pass to their home mountain. I always make a point to travel each season. Even if its just a few days in NY or VT, and the flexibility of basically having a season pass to whatever mountain is nearby is a great bonus. Skip the ticket lines, go right to the lifts and when you add in the cost of a ticket at Hunter or Mt Snow it quickly makes it worth the investment. My only real gripe is that Hunter is probably 3rd on my list of Catskills resorts. Haven't gotten to the NH places yet but will definitely check them out. I guess it comes down to if you plan to travel or not each season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoralas Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I just enjoy watching people — especially online — stamp their feet and shake their fist, whether they are right or not. It’s fun when they think it’s going to make a difference. And kudos to them the very few times that it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I think alot of Peak passholders get hosed on this deal. I would bet there is a large percentage of JFBB passholders that have never been to another Peak owned resort on their pass. At least from the Pocono area, its not too bad to get to Hunter or MS, but from Roundtop add 2 hrs or so. I forget what my last JFBB pass cost, but i am sure it was considerably less. I left there for Blue because i wanted to ski with the best skiers on the east coast, but even if i was in love with JFBB, that pass price point would have me looking elsewhere. Dont get me wrong here, NY and VT are cool, but if i am going to drive to NY, i think it would be Gore or Whiteface, and if i was to drive to VT, i would pass Mount Snow and go to Stowe, SB, Smuggs. Skiing out West will always be priority trip in my book. I think it was $499 for the JFBB only passes before they went to the options they have now. I agree with you though. The Mt. Snow and Hunter options wouldn't entice me either for similar reasons... the whole if driving 4 and a half hours, I might as well keep going another hour or so for bigger mts. I can't knock Mt. Snow since I've never been. Not necessarily on my list of places to ski though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 My first year the jfbb only pass with the family discount was $399, then it was $499 but you had to go to the window to get a ticket each day. So when Peak bought it and raised the price to $599 and you didn’t have to go to the window it was worth it. In my head my limit for a family of 5 is $2500, so we’re there again next season. I’m buying 2 of the $299 passes this year to montage and will by 3 more if they discount them again in the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you taking the chance at those $150 season pass deals at montage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely, but I might well check out Whitetail sometime when we are starting and ending the day at my parents place in Jenkintown (it is at least closer to there than Hunter is). With close to 1000' vertical and an experts only pod it has always interested me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I worked in Jenkintown I drove to Blue to do a night sesh. Never been to Whitetail but I've been to Roundtop a few times, it's pretty similar to Jackson Frost I believe but maybe smaller.
