New England Season Pass Spring Sale Ends April 30, 2010

NEWRY, MAINE (April 26, 2010) – Sunday River and Loon Mountain may have just closed their mountains for the 2009-2010 winter season but the popular New England Pass featuring access to Sunday River, Sugarloaf and Loon Mountain is still on sale for the 2010-2011 season at its absolute lowest prices of the year until April 30, 2010. And given that Sunday River opened on October 14, 2009 and that Sugarloaf is still open, this is very good news for future passholders considering season length.  

With prices starting at $349 for access to a combined total of 324 trails; 1,654 acres; 13 terrain parks; and 6 halfpipes; all served by 43 lifts, the New England Pass is the best value in the Northeast.

Each New England Pass also includes free or discounted skiing/riding at Boyne Resorts’ Western mountains, including Big Sky, Mont., Brighton, UT., Crystal Mountain, Wash., Cypress Mountain, British Columbia; Boyne Mountain, Mich., Boyne Highlands, Mich., and The Summit at Snoqualmie, Wash.

Skiers and snowboarders who purchase their 2010/2011 New England Pass by April 30 can also take advantage of the Easy 3-Pay Plan that allows the buyer to purchase their pass in three equal payments due on April 30, July 1, and September 1, 2010.
