Pleasant Mountain, Maine Joins New England Gold Pass

Pleasant’s addition to the New England Gold Pass does, however, leave skiers with a bewildering number of ways to access Boyne’s four Northeast ski resorts, and to tap those passes for lift tickets to Boyne’s big bads out west. Should skiers go big, with the ,449 New England Gold Pass and the 9 Ikon Base Pass add-on, which adds all of this to their winters?:

Chart does not include renewal discounts and other incentives.

So when Boyne purchased Shawnee Peak in 2021, I figured the 1,300-vertical-foot mountain an hour outside of Portland would act as a sort of New England Pass bow, a first stop skiers would unwrap to reveal their big-mountain gift box.But Pleasant (as the mountain is now known), didn’t join the expensive pass for the 2021-22 ski season, or for any of the three winters that followed. Boyne did eventually give New England Pass holders three days at Pleasant, mirroring the pass’ access to the company’s far-flung non-New England ski areas. Last year, New England pass holders could add on a Pleasant night pass for . But anyone who wanted unrestricted 2023-24 Pleasant access was staring down an 9 pass that included three total days at Sugarloaf, Sunday River, and Loon, and the standard three-day allotment of Big Sky etc. days.How inconvenient for a Portland-based skier (and there are a lot of them), who wants to use Pleasant as a quick-hitter and spend weekends at Sunday River or Sugarloaf. What was the point of a company owning a network of close-knit mountains in the multimountain pass era if these mountains did not share a multimountain pass? Pleasant’s pass cost more than a season ticket to Jay Peak (9), Smugglers’ Notch (9), or Cannon (9), despite being half the mountain, terrain-wise. The pass cost more than similarly sized Gunstock (5), despite Pleasant’s lack, until this winter, of a high-speed lift. And Vail’s Northeast Value Pass, unlimited at four New Hampshire mountains and offering generous access to three in Vermont, was sitting at just 0.But, finally, Boyne fixed the glitch. Pleasant Mountain joins the New England Pass as an unlimited mountain for the 2025-26 ski season. Gold passholders still get three direct-to-lift, no-blackout dates at Boyne’s non-New England mountains:Boyne’s approach to Pleasant access had been deliberately measured, the company’s chief marketing officer, Nick Lambert, told The Storm. “When we acquired Pleasant, we frankly wanted to make sure not to screw it up,” he said. Boyne expanded parking and lift capacity before adding the mountain to more products, despite considerable demand for increased Pleasant access from existing New England passholders, Lambert said. He also confirmed that this winter’s addition of a high-speed quad to the summit – which replaced a fixed-grip triple chair – gave Boyne the confidence to ratchet up its access on the top-tier New England Pass.For years, Boyne’s New England Pass has been the most-expensive ski pass in the six-state region. More than Epic or Ikon or Killington or Bretton Woods or Waterville Valley or Jiminy Peak. When Vail tossed the Epic hand grenade over Lake Champlain in 2017, everyone from Okemo (not yet Vail) to Sugarbush (not yet Alterra) said “Hey now, ease up there Fella, we’ll just go ahead and drop our season pass prices by 30 to 50 percent.” But not Sunday River and Sugarloaf and Loon. Their three-mountain pass hit ,000 before the Great Recession and never let off the gas. Not after Epic gobbled up a half-dozen more competitors, not after all three Boyne mountains joined the Ikon Pass, not after Covid said “hold still, I’ve got something to give you,” not after the Indy Pass assembled almost every other ski area in Maine onto its roster. Boyne bet that upscale lifts, overpowering snowmaking, terrain expansions, long seasons, and general goodwill could justify the big-baller pricing. And it did.For now, Pleasant will join only the top-tier Gold version of the New England Pass. It will not join the Silver (blackouts), Bronze (midweek), or Day or other specialty passes. Pleasant will continue to offer its own 9 single-mountain season pass, which is only cheaper than an Ikon Base Pass (which gives skiers five days each at Loon, Sunday River, and Sugarloaf). And Pleasant will not join the Ikon Pass (yet). But this is a logical and welcome product evolution in a ski world that increasingly expects ski areas to act as complementary networks, rather than standalone do-it-all-for-every-skier entertainment complexes.

The New England Pass Ikon Base Pass add-on does not include days at Loon, Sunday River, or Sugarloaf.

Or, for less, should skiers buy a ,329 full Ikon, which leaves off Pleasant but gives them Alta, Aspen, Jackson, and more? Or would an Ikon Base, with five days each at Loon, Sunday River, and Sugarloaf be sufficient along with a Pleasant Mountain night pass? And what about New England Day versus Ikon Session?I simplified all the options as best I could. This is still confusing as hell. So stare at this for five minutes, then let’s journey into Ski Pass Scenario World to figure out whatever a Mainer’s to do.

FanDuel bans bettor for heckling Gabby Thomas at Philadelphia track meet

FanDuel has banned the sports bettor who heckled three-time Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas at a Grand Slam Track meet last weekend and later boasted that his actions helped him win a bet placed on one of her competitors.

“FanDuel condemns in the strongest terms abusive behavior directed towards athletes,” a FanDuel spokesperson said in a statement to The Athletic. “Threatening or harassing athletes is unacceptable and has no place in sports. This customer is no longer able to wager with FanDuel.”

The betting platform took action after Thomas said Monday that a sports bettor followed her around Franklin Field in Philadelphia, the site of the track event, and heckled her.

“This grown man followed me around the track as I took pictures and signed autographs for fans (mostly children) shouting personal insults- anybody who enables him online is gross,” Thomas wrote on X.

In response to a previous post from Thomas, a man posted a video on X where he can be heard heckling Thomas at the starting line. He calls himself “The Track and Field Bully” and “The King of Track and Field and Sports Betting Dramedy” in his X bio.

The man also shared a screenshot of a winning bet slip showing he won over $800 on a parlay, which included a victory by Melissa Jefferson-Wooden in the women’s 100m. Thomas, who won gold at the Paris Olympics in the 200m, was bested by Jefferson-Wooden in the 200 on Saturday and then beaten by Jefferson-Wooden again Sunday in the 100.

The man wrote, “I made Gabby lose by heckling her. And it made my parlay win.”

Grand Slam Track said Tuesday that it was working to identify the man in the video and opened an investigation into the incident.

Thomas is the latest athlete to address the growing trend of alarming treatment from fans related to sports betting.

Last month, Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. and his family received death threats from a fan on social media after his rough outing in a 13-9 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. The Astros alerted Major League Baseball and the Houston Police Department, which later identified the fan as a frustrated bettor who lashed out online while inebriated.

NBA players have reported an uptick in verbal abuse at games and receiving threatening or harassing messages on social media from bettors in recent years, prompting the league to put processes in place that allow players to report incidents to their teams and/or the league office.

“I’ve never felt genuinely threatened, but there has been some really disrespectful s— said,” the New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson told The Athletic earlier this year when asked if he’s felt threatened by messages he receives. “It’s a lot of people who don’t have profile pictures. There is part of me that has thought about airing them out, but s— always comes back around.”

Marquette volleyball adds transfers Allie Korba and Julia Stanev – Marquette Wire

It’s been just over three months since Tom Mendoza was hired as the sixth head coach in Marquette women’s volleyball history, and he’s still not done adding to the roster quite yet.

It’s been just over three months since Tom Mendoza was hired as the sixth head coach in Marquette women’s volleyball history, and he’s still not done adding to the roster quite yet.

Last Wednesday, the program announced the additions of transfers Allie Korba and Julia Stanev.

Korba, a 5-foot-9 setter from Arlington Heights, Illinois, was the 2024 Mid-American Conference Setter of the Year at Central Michigan University after posting 1,137 assists over 126 sets in 2024. She played under current MU assistant coach Stef Jankiewicz the past three seasons in Mount Pleasant, helping the Chippewas to 69 wins.

“We are excited to add Allie to the team,” Mendoza said in a release from Marquette Athletics. “She brings experience and leadership, coming in the reigning MAC Setter of the Year. We know Allie’s presence will be a difference maker in our gym.”

In addition to earning Setter of the Year honors, Korba was a First Team All-MAC selection. She posted 11 double-doubles and her 1,137 assists ranked 12th on CMU’s single-season list. She was also named MAC Setter of the Week twice in 2024.

Korba has big shoes to fill after the departure of former Big East Setter of the Year Yadhira Anchante. It looked like setter Malayah Long was slated to become MU’s starting setter this fall after Anchante graduated, but Long announced that she was transferring to Michigan State just hours after Mendoza was hired in March, leaving MU with one true setter on its roster in first-year Isabella Haggard. Korba has one year of eligibility remaining.

Marquette also announced the addition of Stanev, a 6-foot-3 middle blocker from Reggio Emilia, Italy. She joins the Golden Eagles after two seasons at Eastern Illinois, where she helped lead the Panthers to a 28–5 record and an OVC title in 2023.

“Adding Julia to the team will provide great depth and experience to our middle group,” Mendoza said. “She can impact the game both with her block and attack and she’s excited to compete at a highest level.”

Stanev appeared in both of Eastern Illinois’ recent matches against Marquette — in the First Round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament and in the 2024 season opener in Charleston, Illinois. She played one set in the tournament and two in the rematch last fall.

For her career at EIU, Stanev averaged 0.96 blocks per set, 0.82 kills per set and was hitting at a .250 clip. She led the Panthers with 99 blocks in 2023 and has recorded up to seven blocks in a match.

Stanev played club volleyball for Pallavolo Alsenese (Piacenza) and attended Liceo Linguistico G. Marconi School in Parma. She has two years of eligibility remaining.

Earlier last month, Marquette unveiled its 2025 non-conference schedule. The Golden Eagles will face six teams that participated in last year’s NCAA Tournament, including returning to Fiserv Forum for the second time to face Wisconsin on Sept. 17. The Golden Eagles notably also welcome Florida to the Al McGuire Center just two days later, which will mark the first time that former head coach Ryan Theis will return to Milwaukee after leaving for Florida after 11 seasons at MU.

The rest of Marquette’s schedule is expected to be released in the coming weeks.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 4, 2025) – The young U.S. Women’s National Team opened its 2025 Volleyball Nations League (VNL) season with a 3-0 (25-13, 25-13, 30-28) loss to reigning Olympic champion and the world’s No. 1 team Italy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The U.S., the Olympic silver medalists and world’s third-ranked team, return to the court tomorrow at 5 p.m. PDT against host Brazil.

“Obviously excited to compete and get going,” said head coach Erik Sullivan. “We learned a few things about where we need to be, but I am proud of how we continued to fight. We played with grit and determination. There were a few points where it was easy to give up at the end and we didn’t do that. Italy is a great team and the ability to play them early is huge. They are going to set the bar for us the rest of the summer. Looking ahead to Brazil, there may be some lineup changes, but it is another opportunity to improve by playing an elite team in their home environment.”  

Italy finished with advantages in kills (45-30), blocks (13-6) and aces (3-0). Middle blocker Molly McCage of the U.S. led all players with four blocks.

Opposite Logan Lednicky shared the team-high with nine points on eight kills and a block in her U.S. Women’s National Team debut. Outside hitter Sarah Franklin led the squad with nine kills. McCage added three kills to total seven points. Middle blocker Amber Igiede contributed six kills.

Italy used a strong serve and block to control the first set, taking its biggest lead on the set-clinching point. Lednicky, who will enter her senior year at Texas A&M this fall, led the U.S. with four kills in her first set as a U.S. Women’s National Team member.

The U.S. played some scrappy defense early in the second set, but a 14-4 Italy run turned a one-point U.S. deficit into an 11-point Italy lead, 20-9. Franklin recorded a pair of kills for the second consecutive set.

It was the U.S.’s turn to jump out in front in the third set. Lednicky’s third kill of the set gave the U.S. a 16-9 lead. The lead remained seven points at 21-14 before Italy scored eight points in a row to take its first lead of the third set.

A strong serve by outside hitter Logan Eggleston led to a kill by Franklin on an overpass to give the U.S. set point at 24-23. Italy scored the next two points to reach match point. The U.S fought off four match points before Italy won the set 30-28.

Franklin (five kills), Lednicky (four kills, one block) and McCage (two kills, three blocks) each scored five points in the final set.
