TELLURIDE- CO
Season passes are $1,298 and come with a three day pass to Taos (http://www.skitaos.org/). This pass will go up $700 on 10/29/11. These next three deals are only available until the 10/29/11 and then they are gone: Teluride Card- gives you 20% off on all of your tickets ($80), 6 Day Pass- $450 ($75 tickets), 10 Day Pass- $650 ($65 tickets). Those are some pretty steep deals- but this mountain is known for being super exclusive. Last year tickets were $98 and who knows if they will be raised..........

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
Oh man, do I want to go to here; the stories I hear about this place make me drool. These season pass deals are good until 10/11/11. (https://store.bridgerbowl.com/passes/) A Season Pass is $580 (13 times to break even). Or you can get a Ten Time Pass for $350 ($35 a ticket); this pass is non-transferable. A Midweek Pass is $375 (eight times to break even) and you can ski for $39 a day on the weekend. If you are a MSU student you can get a Student Ride Card for $30 and then get $39 tickets for the rest of the season. You could also get an Adult Legend Card for $35 and then get $39 tickets for the rest of the year.

MT HOOD- OR
MMMMMMMM- Hood. After 11/6/11 the Season pass goes up $500! Until then it is $499 (That is only seven days of riding to break even!). A ten day pass is $379 ($38 a ticket). http://www.skihood.com/Store
