Newbury, NH – (September 2008) – Mount Sunapee has partnered with its sister mountains and other resorts to offer a wide range of options that fit just about any budget. These include skiing and riding from the Rocky Mountains in Colorado to the White Mountains of New Hampshire, day or night.

Mount Sunapee’s primary season pass is the Peak Pass, which not only includes unlimited skiing and riding at Mount Sunapee every day of the season, but also direct-to-lift access at Okemo seven days a week during non-holiday periods. The adult Peak Pass is priced at $899 on or before 10/13/08.

Mount Sunapee’s increasingly popular Value Pass Plus now offers the most diverse skiing and riding in the East for one purchase price. During non-holiday periods skiers and riders can explore 273 trails and 42 lifts on three of the East’s most popular and accessible mountains — Mount Sunapee, Okemo and Stratton — for only $699 until 10/13/08. There’s also a Midweek Super Pass at the same three resorts for only $369 until 10/13/08.

Value-priced college student season passes are extremely popular at Mount Sunapee. This season a NH College Breakout Pass, which includes unlimited skiing and riding at Mount Sunapee, Gunstock, and Wildcat, is available for only $239 until 12/24/08.  The College Pass, which includes unlimited skiing and riding at Mount Sunapee, Okemo and Stratton, is only $315 until 12/21/08.

The new Graduate Pass is designed to bridge the gap between college pass pricing and regular pass pricing for recent college graduates.  Graduates with at least a two-year degree can lock into “graduated pricing” for two consecutive years and enjoy unlimited skiing and riding at Mount Sunapee resort.  The Graduate Pass costs $499 for 2008-2009 and $649 for 2009–2010.  

New this season: Peak, Ultra, Value Plus and Midweek pass holders receive one free round-trip ticket on American Airlines for every two airline tickets purchased to Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Colorado when booked through Crested Butte Vacations at 1-800-544-8448.

Pass holders at Mount Sunapee can also enjoy 50% off night skiing Monday through Friday at nearby Pats Peak in Henniker, NH, during non-holiday periods.
