Skiing on the Cheap - 2006-07

[Talisman]

If you don't want to buy a season pass and want to still save on lift tickets at a variety of mtns check out www.skiclub.com and look under benefits. There are CSC Ski days and bulk tickets at many places in VT and a few ski days in NH. To particpate you need to join a CT based ski club and many permit 'virtual' members.

Sugarbush's College Pass for $319 is available to any fulltime college student, you need ID and letter from Registrar. Class schedule not good enough. You also can get the pass if you graduated in 2006, that should help a few people.

This thread seems a lot smaller than it did last year. Is there another one kicking around somewhere?

So, for those who may be in the same boat as me, here's my pre-season research:

(My boat, by the way, looks to be, NYC-based and not planning to purchase a season pass or seasonal lodging)

Hunter:
If you purchase both the Big Lift Card and the Triple Peaks Card (limit, one per customer), you're looking at a minimum of 4 lift tickets for about $140. They're good anytime except holidays. So, assuming you rocked them only on weekends... that's a savings of about $90.

Windham:
Potter Brothers Preffered Customer Card runs $30. Including some other schwag, it gives you an anytime Windham ticket. (Windham single day tickets run as much as $59.)

Belleayre:
According to my officemate, any one with a ski club membership gets $10 off any day at Belleayre. Allegedly, if you don't have a ski club membership, you can join the Belleayre club for $15. Also, although I couldn't find it on the website, in years past, you could ski free on your birthday (or it's equivalent).

Anyone got any other New York area deals?


Of course, if this Park City job pulls through...

During the year they sell discount tickets to the local mountains(look on their site for exact mountains) the 10% off can also be used when buying these dicount tickets.
