Season Ski Passes: Sunapee or Ragged? (home, costs, area)

[notdancingqueen]

Once again, coming to the experts for some advice...

We have 2 kids - 9 and 4.5. Me and DH are experienced skiers - me an advanced intermediate and he is expert.

Sunapee season passes are twice as much as those at Ragged, so we're looking for help in deciding.

Which one would you choose *and why?*

Thanks! ~NDQ

Do you have kids? The beginner area of Sunapee is great.

Thanks Rex - we have heard that from people IRL as well. We hope to check out Ragged this week as we have to act quickly if we choose Ragged.

Any other thoughts, anyone?

Ragged is much smaller and somewhat less crowded than Sunapee. We belong to crotched mountain as it is close to home and costs $1000 for the entire family for the season. We go to other mountains occasionally...
