The countdown to winter begins

CORRECTION: In this episode, I state that Indy Pass gets you access to over 450 resorts. The number is actually 250.

We are joined once again by our buddy Collin to do a quick run down of the ski pass landscape, including the big multi passes, traditional season passes, Indy Pass, the new Indy Pass Learn to Turn triple, the new Snow Triple Play (great for new skiers looking for a couple days) and some other options. Brownski’s choice is a Plattekill season pass plus an Indy Pass. Collin’s choice is a Killington 365 Beast plus a Ski 3. My pick for families with small kids is the Catamount Summit pass plus a Indy Pass add-on. What’s best for you?
