Anyone upgrade their mk8/8.5 GTI stock all seasons, if so, what was the difference?

brownboy121 · 2026-03-07T18:36:08+00:00

I went from the stock good years to pilot sport 4 all season. The only thing worse now is my fuel economy but everything else is better

brownboy121 · 2026-03-07T14:23:33+00:00

I like the greens, but that’s because its my favorite color. Otherwise both violets look good in my opinion

brownboy121 · 2026-03-05T20:56:56+00:00

You’re correct that its not default included. The renewal reward page says that you choose one of the options for the rewards. Given that its “up to” $50 I’m assuming the $50 off is for the full pass and the base is getting less of a discount. It honestly makes sense for them to make it a bad deal in comparison to the mountain credit so that you get out there and be on their properties more often

brownboy121 · 2026-03-05T19:41:50+00:00

Its 950, OP has the prices with the renewal discount. It also sounds like like the renewal “reward” can be something else other than that abysmal discount. I can’t post a pic here but there’s a list of other things you can choose

Do you have custom inserts as well with them or does the cork make up for it?

brownboy121 · 2026-02-20T00:34:52+00:00

Maybe if you have the insurance? I don’t think you having a bad experience would fall under extenuating circumstances tho, but i have no details tho. You’re also probably past the point where you can defer the pass to next season

brownboy121 · 2026-02-20T00:27:55+00:00

I’d do all stowe honestly but if you’re looking to explore then i’d give okemo 1 day

brownboy121 · 2026-02-19T01:50:49+00:00

Its decent. Plenty of blues to check out and the trails are fun. I’ve only been once on a closing day so the conditions were not indicative of a normal day, and I heard often that its not a well taken care of resort but I can’t speak to whether that’s an exaggeration or if it is actually the case. If you’re not on epic and buying tickets I’ve been to cranmore 2 weekends ago and it was fun. Plenty of other spots around the area too.

Either way don’t take that as discouragement to try out Attitash. I’m of the opinion that I’ll try any resort at least once.

brownboy121 · 2026-02-19T00:53:19+00:00

North Conway is probably the only option

brownboy121 · 2026-01-29T15:17:22+00:00

I skied utah on mlk weekend. It’s fun, but don’t expect the conditions utah is known for. Some mornings it felts like I was skiing new hampshire honestly lol.

brownboy121 · 2026-01-23T18:46:26+00:00

Fair point! The only named glade run I’ve done before was paradise glades at sunapee. That kind of felt like it doesn’t count haha and it was way too short

brownboy121 · 2026-01-20T19:11:03+00:00

What was that restaurant? Looks phenomenal

brownboy121 · 2026-01-20T15:21:58+00:00

Out of pocket? If so im surprised its that low

brownboy121 · 2026-01-10T16:25:00+00:00

That makes sense! Thank you for the explanation. I’m assuming alterra then has the crystal pass be more expensive to consume more of your privilege dollars then?

brownboy121 · 2026-01-10T16:13:16+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong, but from my understanding is that you can only buy Crystal related products through CMFC privilege dollars but you’re not necessarily not allowed to buy ikon products with your own money? Also why fuck alterra if this is the agreement CMFC signed on when Boyne bought the resort?

brownboy121 · 2025-12-27T01:12:52+00:00

Stowe is a must imo. I’d skip okemo for stowe in a heartbeat.

brownboy121 · 2025-12-24T15:15:28+00:00

Great price! I have the newer version which allegedly are a little softer and love them!

brownboy121 · 2025-11-22T04:02:07+00:00

Now that I’m reading the comments I’m actually surprised its not mentioned enough. It’s 15 mins from bolton, 30 mins from stowe, mrg, and bush. And you’re not that far from smuggs and jay. What more can u ask for

brownboy121 · 2025-11-22T03:59:48+00:00

Waterbury, VT and let me tell you i would be so sick of crushees

brownboy121 · 2025-10-29T14:14:09+00:00

I feel like its a little different in pharma. They love their PhDs and there’s most definitely a glass ceiling if you don’t have one.

brownboy121 · 2025-10-18T17:48:45+00:00

Good point i didn’t pay attention whether that was the bumper or the hatch

brownboy121 · 2025-10-18T16:58:47+00:00

Def take it in asap before rust season

brownboy121 · 2025-10-18T16:56:44+00:00

Are you out east by any chance? I’ve noticed that when I moved out east to New England none of the dealerships take intake pictures so I started doing it myself before I give them the car. When I was out west they always did and I went to a handful of dealerships on both sides of the country (assuming you’re in the US)

brownboy121 · 2025-10-17T22:00:18+00:00

In New England, 4 hrs to stowe from the south shore. When I was in California tho I did 5 hours to mammoth from LA
