My Stowe young adult pass this year included 50% off so I assume my SB pass will next year too.

I just checked the site, and it seems like this is the case,... Assuming an "All Mountain 7" is considered a premium pass. If that is the case - this is a fairly good deal then. I originally thought we would only benefit if you buy the additional $399 pass. If I can buy a pass at Snowmass 50% off, this is a good deal (or better than the 16-17' offering)
Interesting you look at the mountian collective pass for $399 and you get two days at each resort. Then you look at the epic 4 day pass and for only $20 dollars more you get 4 days at each resort.
Mountain collective will certainly be an improvement over what I have now. However - the epic pass is a fricken deal! (BETTER DEAL THAN THE COLLECTIVE PASS) I just skied in Switzerland and dropped many thousands on ski passes for myself and family. If i had an epic pas - that trip would have been free! (hotel and air fair were paid with points)
Called it!
Yeah only logical after Stowe dropped off it that SB would pick up where Stowe left off.
Someone from SkiVermont who lives near me in Montpelier gave me the heads up weeks ago and it seemed almost immediately after Vail announced the purchase of Stowe.It happened amazingly quick. They must've called Win like that evening
"Premium" is the term Mountain Collective uses on their website. Stowe allowed all 7 day passholders to have access to the 50% off Mountain Collective benefit. The mid-week passes were the ones they didn't give the MC benefits to. Makes sense I think. We should know soon the details on what SB passes will be eligible for the free of charge 50% off lift ticket benefit.
No doubt the full Epic is a great deal. I was simply pointing out that comparing the MC to the Epic 4 day pass (As they are nearly the same price and nhskier was comparing the two) is misleading as they both do very different things. The MC pass gives you 2 passes at each participating resort (and then 50% off after that) while the Epic 4 day pass is really more like the Vail/Epic version of the Sugarbush Quad pack.
Do I sense RFID next year? Many of mountains on the MC have it. Just got back from Alta/Bird and it is awesome. Also love the corrals there with 4 lines and "front row".
