Skiing on the Cheap - 2008-09 Thread

[playoutside]

The best deals with this card are midweek. It's a good deal, but would be tough to expect to benefit from it each day of a weeklong trip. Check out their site, when I looked 2 weeks ago they still had the details of last years offers. An added benefit is that they send a couple comp tix with the card -- I got Magic and a friend got Black.

The ski and ride card? You already got yours in the mail? I ordered mine in the beginning of July and have yet to see it, though my card has been charged.

There are various deals at all the places, but for the most part they are either mid-week or of the $5 off variety.

The real benefit in the card is the free lift tickets in comes with. Last year I received one each to Black, Saddleback and Mt. Abram

What I meant is do you have to pick one resort or is it good at all of them?

there are different deals offered from each mountain and buying the card gives you access to all of them.

I'm trying to decide between this and the $35 VT card. I'll only ski 3-5 days in VT, but I'm trying to get at least 8 in NE overall...

I'm actually thinking of both. The ski and ride card basically pays for itself with the free lift ticket (used mine at Magic last year, never used the Black.) And the VT card just seems way too good a deal to pass up.

Does Ski and ride New England card just give you random tickets or can you pick?
