BOLTON VALLEY-- Vermont's favorite affordable family resort has announced 2009-10 early season pass pricing that can only be described as incredible.

Next year's passes are being offered at the same rates as those offered during early Spring last year. And the resort is adding free skiing/riding for the duration of this season with any pass purchased by someone who is not currently a Bolton Valley season pass holder.

"We're enjoying an absolutely incredible season and want to share the fun and value of Bolton Valley with everyone," said Bolton President George B. Potter in announcing season pass pricing. "So anyone purchasing any 2009-2010 season pass product prior to April 6th will pay the same rates we offered in the Spring of 2008. And we'll provide free skiing and riding for the rest of this season to any new pass holder who purchase the 2009-10 pass."

A family pass for two adults and two youths is priced at just $1199 through April 6th. A complete menu of passes and pricing is available online at boltonvalley.com This special pricing includes all season pass products and is available until April 6, 2009.

"We've had nearly 25 feet of natural snow this season; seven feet during the month of February alone," continued Potter. "Conditions are spectacular and our hold-the-line pricing coupled with free skiing/riding the rest of the season should be great incentive to get people celebrating the waning weeks of this season and excited about great skiing and riding next season at an unbelievable value."

Bolton Valley offers skiing and riding on 64 trails and glades spilling from its 3,150-foot summit. The resort has three terrain parks, including Vermont's only Burton Progression Park. Bolton Valley has a 100-kilometer Nordic center.
