Thank you, Jed. I want to thank you,
@Bobalooski , and others here for pointing into Sugar Bowl for my needs / wants. It certainly fits well. A 2.5 hour trip is very different. I can drive up Friday night with my son, sleep in Auburn on the cheap, and then wake up at 7, breakfast, a short drive and be at SB really early for easy parking, coffee, etc.
I do love Rose, and I find the Incline area really cozy for longer trips (like a December week on the snow). I am thinking of doing:
- the slightly restricted pass for Sugar Bowl, for both my son and I. I could go ski Saturday with him, get the passes, and use them for the day and next season. He really liked the terrain from my go pro grabs and the pics I took.
- renewing the Rose pass for longer trips (multi days), for all three (my son and my daughter besides me, my better half has no desire to ski)
The rationale is that the girl will probably not join a day trip. And if she occasionally does com to SB, I can get her a 'buddy' ticket or something
Am I missing something? Is there a cheaper/better way to do this? (as in using a multi-area pass, etc -- I don't think either Rose or SB are part of any collective pass; Thoughts appreciated!
