But I used K-ton because it's the VT mtn that Saratoga-Glens Falls skiers most frequently get a season pass for. As you point out, the $1049 K-ton pass looks like a bargain, but you had to buy that by April 26! It's $1349 now, still several hundred bucks less than the other VT areas you mention. And it's several hundred more than a WF/Gore pass.Jeff Farbaniechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687600943158149486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281608760834525796.post-46688876843271820932012-11-16T08:46:09.666-05:002012-11-16T08:46:09.666-05:00In some ways, I would think that K-Mart isn't ...In some ways, I would think that K-Mart isn't the best frame of reference for VT, but when you look at some prices charged by other resorts these days, it's almost a bargain. Okemo passes are $1749, Stratton is $1669, Sugarbush is $1599 and Stowe is $2056. Those are today's prices, not early season discounts. If I didn't work in the industry, I don't know that I'd be able to afford the sport any more.Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393751713576765589noreply@blogger.com
