SAM Magazine--North Conway, N.H., Aug. 4, 2004--The Threedom Pass, good at Booth Creek areas Cranmore, Loon, and Waterville Valley, offers increased benefits and options for the coming season. Unrestricted passes include college and youth passes ($199), teen passes ($249) and adult passes ($459). An adult pass with holiday blackout dates costs $319; Sunday-through-Friday passes run $269.

In addition, passholders get lodging, food and beverage discounts, convenience charging, and lift-ticket discounts at Booth Creek's Western resorts, including Northstar-at-Tahoe and Sierra-at-Tahoe.

The sweetened Threedom pass competes with the new All for One Pass from American Skiing Company (ASC), which was unveiled three weeks ago, in two versions: an unrestricted Gold Pass, for $599, and restricted Bronze Pass, for $349. Both versions are valid at all six eastern ASC areas. \
