| Boston Expo: reason to go? OK... Just heard about the Boston Ski & Snowboard Expo next week at the Bayside Expo Center. Haven't looked into it much, but thought I might be interested in going. The thing is... it costs $10 (which isn't that much, really), but then I'd have to pay $5 to park at Alewife and $4 round trip on the T. The walk in the cold from the T stop to Bayside, etc. etc. etc. Is there a real reason for me to go? Anyone handing out freebies, etc.? Who here has been, and do you suggest I go or not? What's it like? Thanks, Jason |

| whent last year and it is a lot of fun. It gets you so ready for the season. Every resort hands out free stickers (the ones you BUY at the resort) and free posters. got tons of stickers and covered my walls in posters. What are the days I want to go back but havnt seen any ads for it.

| Since we started skiing a few years back, we don't miss this. Told 10 year old daughter it was coming up in two weeks and she was all excited. She loves going around getting stickers and we tend to score some discounts/freebies along the way. Nice opportunity to pick up literature, etc. and get pumped for the season. If they're doing the freestyle shows again, you shouldn't miss it. |

| The expo is great in my opinion; it really pumps you up for the season. Last year I actually won 4 or 5 different lift tickets. SkiMarket sets up there and always has good deals; I bought a pair of skis at the expo a few years ago at a good price. You can actually talk to the reps. from all the areas, cool stuff. Parking is a pain though, if I remember correctly it was pretty expensive, and we had to walk far. EDIT: I see in a post above me that parking is $10. (Still not cheap in my opinion though.) But to answer the question, yes, it is definitlely worth the $5. |
