I wouldnt hold my breath regarding whether or not passes will go up next season... they always do...sigh. However at 63 bucks a pop for day passes, you'd be crazy not to take advantage of the savings from a season's pass. Personally, i think the non-holiday passes are a joke. It is true that i like to steer clear of the xmas week, the mtn gets taken over by new jersey! But, a lot of those holiday days are great riding days too...
Some food for thought:
Isnt Whiteface Mtn. owned and operated by the state of NY? Great to see they pass along the profits by offering a great deal on season's passes and day passes (please sense the sarcasm)
