So I've never had a season pass. Before you go hating on me, my fam instead gets amazing deals to pretty much every NE ski place, so I go somewhere new every weekend and I usually get a 1-a-week pass to my local mountain.

My local is Ski Sundown (New Hart, CT). Its not some old hill, but stats are at skisundown.com. Its like 15 trails, yadda yadda.
They charge like 479 bucks for a season pass... I'm trying to decide whether or not a pass is worth it to such a small mountain. Know that I cannot drive yet, ---Basically, do you think the pass experience is worth it for a small mountain?
 
depends how much a day pass costs and how much you plan on going up/how much you went up (to that mountain) last year

if you plan to be up enough to pay off a seasons pass then yes do it, otherwise its not a very good idea
 
I like your icon. I was lucky and had parents that skied so they took me everywhere. If your parents dont ski then I would get a pass to the closet resort. Seeing as you wont be traveling a lot.
 
If you go more than 12 times per season it's for sure worth it. While, yes, the price is a little high (although, there are mountains that charge upwards of $1000+), it's not without reason. Small mountains have HUGE perks, especially Sundown, short to no lines being one of the biggest, but also the community (especially in the park - everyone knows everyone and is chill with everyone - yea there are a few "crews" but everyone still has a good time and doesn't mind skiing with other people or new people), also, the park is constantly changing and growing (with the exception on last year because of Jarrod's injury - and even it wasn't too bad), for example, last season at mount snow I went opening day and closing day, and Nitro was pretty much EXACTLY the same, it gets boring, but when the park is changing - even if it's the same features in a different location or order or even direction - can really make a huge difference. Not too mention, you don't have to drive 2+ hours to get there. I say its worth it, but everyone has their preferences.
