Check Ken Jones skis. That’s what I used to do with my kids for ski rental and season passes.

Dartmouth Skiway is generally much cheaper than the big resorts and offers full season rentals. Great hill to learn on

Any chance you’re military or a veteran? The Epic Pass is an absolute steal for military.

I never had the pleasure to serve. I’m glad they support our veterans.

Indy Pass gives you two days at Pats Peak, Cannon, Waterville, and a bunch of other mountains in VT and ME, as well as Berkshire East in MA. Two days at each mountain lets you explore and gives your kids experience at a range of places. Definitely a good deal if you're willing to not have a 'home' mountain. Just look into blackout dates depending on which pass you get. Also check out r/icecoast for more specific info.

Attitash / Wildcat passes are fairly priced for the quality of the mountain. Forget the exact price I get a season pass from Vail every year and im never disappointed.

Edit: You can get the discover pass and ski 1-7 days for 40$ a day

If you’re a resident of NH, check with your town’s recreation program as they often have discounts for local mountains.

Are you all new to skiing? If so, passport program at Pats Peak in Henniker is the way to go.

If experienced go with an Indy pass .... 2 days per mountain and tons of choices all for only $280 or so and that's a steal.

How old are your children? My wife takes my daughter to a number of places as she is 5 and kids 5 and under ski free. She does Sunapee and Ragged

My kids can ski, the past couple seasons I have been going to king pine on day passes. They are all over 5 now… I did gunstock and pats when they were under 5.

Gotcha. If your up towards king pines area we used to do cranmore as there was enough for me a novice and my wife more advanced to do. There is plenty for kids to do also. Good luck with the search.

Ski NH passport if they are in 4th or 5th grade I think, is the best deal by far (if it's still offered).
