Everyone see this announcement today? The Mountain Collective is a better deal for where I ski, but I'm a big fan of these combo passes right now. They make financial sense for me and the resorts. 

$699 for an adult pass. Can pay it in smaller payments it looks like too.

Also, an important note - you can "M.A.X." your existing season pass for $249.99, but Snowshoe is NOT on the list. The list is towards the bottom of their FAQ.

Participating resorts include:

• Blue Mountain, Ontario
• Mont Tremblant, Quebec
• Stratton, VT
• Steamboat, CO
• Snowshoe, WV
• Winter Park, CO
• Loon Mountain, NH
• Sugarloaf, ME
• Sunday River, ME
• Boyne Highland, MI
• Boyne Mountain, MI
• Big Sky, MT
• Brighton, UT

• Copper Mountain, CO
• Mt. Bachelor, OR

WOW.  I saw that but did not realize the 249 max out on my existing SS pass.  Definitely something to think about for me.  This may be something worth planning around for next season.

Yea, you're right. I read the wrong part of the FAQ. Jerks. Updated the first post accordingly! Still a good deal for some though.
