1 Price shown is the current price as of 9/12/2011.
2 As of 9/12 The Summit-at-Snoqualmie hasn’t posted their 11-12 Ticket prices. I bet they run $60.
3 Break Even = Season Pass Price / Daily Lift Ticket Price. 10% Tax added to both Pass/Ticket price in equation (cept in OR). Rounded to nearest Day. Math!
Bonus Analysis!!:
The Summit-at-Snoqualmies Gold Pass includes 5 days of skiing at Crystal. 5 Days of skiing at Crystal will run you 325+tax. The price of the Gold Pass is $489+tax. If you subtract the $325 you’d spend on the 5 tickets at Crystal from the price of the Gold Pass ($489) you are left with $164. $164 is equal to 3 days of skiing at Snoqualmie (at $60/ticket). So, assuming you use all your Crystal passes from the Gold Pass, you’d only have to ride 3 times at Snoqualmie Pass to pay for your pass. Here’s the simple break down–Buy the Summit at Snoqualmie Gold Pass — Ride 5x at Crystal + Ride 3x at Snoqualmie = Pass Paid For
Booya.
