Sundown, Catamount, or Butternut?

I have a choice of getting a pass to either of the three on top of my Mohawk pass. They're all about equidistant from me. Sundown and Catamount are about 30-40 minutes each but butternut is like an hour. I'm leaning away from Butternut because I want night skiing, but they also have a great park. Help me choose, NS!
 
sundown's an awesome mountain with an awesome vibe. defiantly had alot of fun there, and there park only gets better and better
 
Well you have night skiing at Mohawk so I would really go by the figures.

Butternuts:

good park

33 trails - 119 acres of skiing

4 lifts

1,000 verticle drop

2,000 ft elevation

Sundown:

good park

15 trails

4 lifts

650 verticle drop

1,075 elevation

Honestly, Sundown is a sweet mtn but I think you are going to get more storms, colder weather and obviously longer and more runs from Cata. Unless you ski park ONLY Sundown is going to get old real quick. Not that catamount wont either, but they have twice as many trails and almost twice the vert. Plus being an hour north and 1,000 extra feet, you will get more snow

 
there's other options here too.

get savings cards at all of those places and travel around a bunch this winter = way more gooder.

sounds like you don't really want to be locked into one hill... so why not "commit" to traveling around this winter and play the weather / conditions / set ups game, still allowing you to do what ALL of us do, and ski as often as we can till we have a chance to get up to Carinthia.

we also have the mid-week 12 pack deal which gets you skiing for something like 29 dollars a day... forget the real number, check the website.

 
lord fluff excuse me,

Yes you had jumps. I said jokes mang. You're the best park builder this side of the Mississippi in my opinion..
 
thanks, but i drive 2 hours north to the real deal when i get time just like everyone else around here.
 
haha true story about everything around here just being something to do until we can hit carinthia. i would hit up all different mountains, but i'm getting my pass as a christmas present so i need to have just one pass. i've pretty much decided on sundown though.
