I am thinking about buying this pass since I cannot afford the Sunday River/Sugarloaf/Loon pass. I would do the cheap under 30 Killy pass but where I live north of Boston is close to 95 but not 93 and if I don't wake up by 6am I will lose an hour to traffic and not be on the hill until close to noon.

So my biggest need is good early/late season operation. I need the lifts to spin midweek I don't ski on the weekends as much. Will Wildcat and Attitash go weekend only towards the end of the season in late March? Did they do this last year when it was clearly a good winter with good snow?

I don't want to get skunked late season when the mountain is still open on weekends but not midweek.
 
Since they were both bought out by Peak, wildcat has been opening early and closing late and attitash has been the opposite. I would guess attitash will close by first weekend of april at the latest and they dont open until 2nd week of december i think, regardless of snow. Wildcat opened last weekend and I wouldnt be surprised if they stay open into May and give killington a run for their money given it is a good snow year. I think this past season Wildcat was open daily through easter then went weekends only
 
Well, I couldn't go today have to be home for the electrician and they say they are only open Fri-Sunday. Top to bottom sounds pretty sweet and apparently they didn't groom anything today which is even better Im pretty bummed right now.

There stock is dropping on this weekend only bullshit though I would love to go up on Monday not sure if I can go Sunday since have other things to do Sunday if they were open next week I'd be buying a pass and going up to ski at least 2 days early in the week.

If anyone working for the mountain reads this forum and sees this thread know you are losing a season pass customer and I'll just ski different mountains on Liftopia until you knock it off with the weekend only stuff early/late season.
 
Attitash is supposed to open december 6th and will be open until first weekend of april but wildcat will stay open as long as they have snow ( around april 20 last season) but with new snowmaking they should be open until the last weekend in april

I skiied Wildcat a week ago. Good coverage on what was open. Website said they'd be open daily going forward good job Wildcat.

Still as cold as always was 25 when I pulled into the lot felt like 0 on the hill.
 
Wildcat is a rugged tougher skiing mountain where Attitash is the park mountain. Not a bad pass to have because you get the best of both worlds. I skiied both last year and I enjoyEd it thoroughly

Yeah nice long runs its a good mountain I like Attitash too its better than having Breton Woods on there.

Still might get it hope I didn't throw away my lift ticket from that day and its still somewhere in my car so I could ask for that 50 bucks off the pass. But between my car overheating and having to save money to use the mountain collectiev pass I bought when drunk last april after a powder day maybe maybe not.

Anyone wants to ride up to Wildcat or SR Monday/Tues tho from the northshore HMU.
 
I personally prefer Bretton Woods over either one of them myself. Man I cannot imagine driving from like Mass to Attitash/Wildcat as a season passholder. I drive like 15 minutes to my mountain and I think its too far lol.
