NEW YORK- SANY GOLD PASS
This pass is super cool. The way I understand it, the pass is good for one lift ticket a day at any of these New York hills. There are no blackout dates. I think you can also let a friend use it when you are stuck at work. What? Amazing. It's a G, that's crazy- you could split the pass with someone you hate- someone you never want to ride with and you could ride all season for $500! Here are the mountains for the SANY Gold pass: Hunter (http://elevatedlocals.blogspot.com/2011/01/hunter-mountain.html), Windham (http://www.windhammountain.com/?season=winter), Whiteface (http://www.whiteface.com/), Gore (http://www.goremountain.com/), Plattekill (http://www.plattekill.com/winter/), Tuxedo Ridge (http://www.tuxedoridge.com/), Belleayre (http://www.belleayre.com/), Thunder Ridge (http://thunderridgeski.com/), Mount Peter (http://mtpeter.com/), Catamount (http://www.catamountski.com/), West Mountain (http://www.skiwestmountain.com/), and Greek Peak (http://www.greekpeak.net/). This pass might also be good for all New York hills, but I only listed the ones on the poster. These passes are limited here is the link to buy- http://www.skiandrideny.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17:iskiny-gold-pass&catid=1&Itemid=19 but you might want to call because there I'm not quite sure about the rules (315-696-6550).

BRIDGER BOWL- MT
