I've found a lot of great deals on this thread over the past several years. Glad I could pass something on.

Do you have to live in Connecticut to buy this?

The Ski + Ride 4 free site appears to have been updated for the season with a 2013/14 participating gas stations sheet now available.

This used to be the #1 deal in budget skiing, IMO, but its gotten to the point where nearly every resort save a few has eliminated Saturday use.

CT and MA remained almost exactly the same in terms of gas stations, NY lost some and gained sum with the net addition of a couple, but the big change this year is Vermont got CRUSHED. Last year VT had 33 gas stations in the program, this year they have 6 Horrible.

I'll have my annual map done sometime tonight for those that bookmark it and use it with GPS.

That includes some great places. Berskire E and Smuggs and Magic 4 tickets for that price hopefully still available on pay day. Thanks for the link.

Ski Ride Free GPS link

One of the problems with this program is its' tough to know/remember where all the participating gas stations are when you're traveling and are out-and-about in ski country. Bookmark the below link on your Smartphone or GPS enabled device and it opens up a map with all the participating gas stations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Vermont. That way you wont miss out on valuable ski stamps this winter.

Feel free to share my map link with other skiers and boarders, I've set it to "public" for that purpose so as many folks as possible can rack up the free skiing. My map from last winter got almost 650 hits, so hopefully we'll top that this year.

Nice work, very commendable, seems like the promoter should do this. Unfortunately, there aren't any participating stations near me. Funny there's one all by itself in Baldwinsville, NY. With your map it'll be worth checking to see if any are nearby when I need gas on my trips East.Someone I met at the Snowshoe in Montgomery gave me one I used at Jay. He doesn't even ski, he's a truck driver, I guess he just picks them up to give them away, nice of him, and nice of you, thanks!

Simon Mall deal for Waterville/Cranmore isn't coming back this year as per a CSR in the mall. Waterville Patriots Tuesday appears to be back, but nothing else is running as far as specials go over there unless they are waiting to announce them til they go to regular season rates, and that is on top of a $2/ticket price increase across the board. Looks like they are trying to reduce deals to pay for their expansion.

Though, Nacski is back with their $77 Sunday River, Loon, Jay, and Stowe bus trip and day ski ticket pricing (albeit it is the early bird tier). Stowe in particular is quite a good deal as the window rate is up to $98 this year, or $84 using bypass.

Thanks for the map! There's a few stations that I pass heading to the Daks and VT that I can hit.

Glad to help. The one they added on the way to Gore is nice. Sad to see they didn't sign up the Lake Placid Mobil this year though.

The people who run this arent the most professional in terms of detail frankly. Each year I find myriad typos and just flat-out wrong information regarding addresses etc... when I'm making my map. Really sloppy to the point you know they didnt even review it. That, and the fact I occansionally stumble upon a participating station that isnt even listed on the participating stations list (for instance, a Mobil right off 87 in Kingston).

I still have no answer as to why almost all the stations in VT dropped though. Did they not even bother to enroll them or is some other factor (a dumb law....competition...etc...) at play? I do know Irving gas ripped them off last year and started essentially the exact same promotion, only difference is you need 10 gallons per receipt rather than 8 gallons. I also think this is the main reason why the resorts pulled back on Saturday usage too, they didnt want too many of these gas programs offering free Saturdays. So if you're annoyed virtually every mountain dropped Saturdays from this program last season, it's a safe bet Irving Gas is largely to blame.

I have used the Irving deal for at least five years so it did not just start last year. Five years ago I used to have an Expedition with a 30 gallon tank so I would put in approximately 15 at a time. I tried going 3 10 gallon pumps but the third one was always a bit short, hence the two 15 ish gallon pumps. There are so many deals out there for me this year that I will not bother with this.

Here's a link to the Irving Gas deal. I don't think this was posted yet. Not a bad deal depending on where you are located.
