Yeah, been watching Killington make snow all day via webcam. They're blowing on North Ridge and top 1/4 of Superstar since at least early this morning. By the MWN temperature profile, looks like they could make snow down to about 3500'. It had been flurrying as well.
I met my wife at a ski house at Sugarbush. We used to pack a dozen 20/30 somethings into. After we got married and settled down, we did a MLK weekend at Sunday River. It was a costly nightmare. I figured there had to be a better way. So when things slowed down for me with work, we took $120k in equity out of our house and it just gave me enough to build the cabin. Now that it's paid off, my only expenses on it are taxes, membership fees and utilities. It still ads up to over $10k/yr, but at less than $1k/month, we can pretty easily swing it both working in the Greater Lowell area.
As for passes, I get my White Mountain Superpass. It ain't cheap, $1279. I wasn't sure I was going to do it this year, but I designed a replacement septic for a friend, so he paid for my pass in return. Friends helping friends out. I also used to get the free season pass to WV for my kids when they rented seasonal skis from Ken Jones ($150/yr each), but now that they've outgrown it, I think my kids will be spending most of the time at Campton Mountain, and I'll just get the day discount passes for WV our community gets. I think it'll be around $60-70/each.
As J Spin mentioned, season passes (generally speaking) are far more affordable (aside from mine). Back in the late 90's a season pass to Sugarbush was $1500!
