I'm turning toward (alpine) skiing as a viable option for my son and me, as an outdoor recreation option this winter. I'm looking to maximize bang-for-buck—we don't own equipment; and I've never bought a season lift/rental package before. Putting aside my searching website-by-website, can you recommend a good place(s) within three-ish hours of Boston, (i.e. Berkshires, White or Green Mts, and maybe into Maine) in terms of good skiing and great season-ticket price?
We're both intermediate skiiers. Other questions/notes:
• The less zoo-ey and more off-the-beaten-path, the better. (i.e. Don't mention Killington unless they have a season-pass deal with all the other mountains in VT. On the other hand, if Mad River Glen has a Mad Dope Deal, yawwww!)
• Speaking of which, what's with these multi-mountain passes?
• Is there a reliable "compare-mountains'-prices-side-by-side" site? Searching the web gave me way TMI.
• Would it be worth it to buy used equipment? (Retail? CL? We're not experts at boot-fitting.)
