Any ideas when Epic Pass prices and related details will be announced for 2022-23? Woody

It's hard, if not impossible, to decide about passes for 2020-21 when Epic hasn't yet announced their prices or options. As a Mid-Atlantic skier (my home areas = Whitetail, Liberty PA) who gets to the NEast for a few days each year, I'm drawn to the Epic Pass but only if they offer some sort of...

Free, but for out-of-[NY]state residents only: Ski Finger Lakes Mountain Pass 2017-18: http://skifingerlakes.com/mountain-pass/ Provides 30% off on one-day lift tickets at Greek Peak, Song Mountain, Toggenburg, and Labrador, with some blackouts. Also 30% off room rates at Hampton Inn...

Thanks Volvovod. Unfortunately: 1) purchasing this card requires a Canadian mailing address, and 2) the break-even point is 2-3 uses, and I'm not certain of 2-3 days at Ste. Anne + Stoneham ... although I'm hoping! Le Massif de Charlevoix has a similar card with similar limitations. Still...

I was stymied in searching for discounts to ski areas near Quebec City a year ago but hope to do better this time around. Friends and I plan to ski Mont Ste. Anne, Le Massif de Charlevoix, Stoneham, and maybe Massif du Sud -- a day or two at each. The advertised discount cards barely offer...

Have you ever chortled? Or seen an out-of-control skier go galumphing down a ski run? If so, or even if not, you can thank Alice through the Looking Glass author Lewis Carroll for the nonsense poem "Jabberwocky".

Well, to each his or her own, I guess. I always liked the idea behind Mt. Snow naming a Sunbrook trail "Thanks Walt" to honor the ski area's visionary founder Walter R. (Walt) Schoenknecht. Article about Walt. Woody

One of my favorites: Snowflake Bentley at Bolton Valley, honoring the man who photographed snowflakes. There's even a Snowflake Bentley website. Woody

Ohhhhhhhh, this could get a lot of us into a lot of trouble. The person who has to pee after every 2-3 runs. And the person who won't ever stop to pee. The person who's gotta have coffee after the 2nd or 3rd run ... on a day when you got up incredibly freaking early because you wanted to...

Bohemia and the Freedom Pass for 2016-17 (and beyond) It will be interesting to see how the Freedom Pass deal will work beyond the 2016-17 season. Bohemia offered it for only $99 (for a limited period), but I didn't notice that any of the other participating areas followed suit. I wonder if...

I received my Liftopia $5 credit in today's email. It was a reward for filling out their best ski areas survey last month. Woody

No, so I sent an email. In response, I received two emails from Mt. Snow at 145 AM indicating that their online system wasn't working and that they were taking orders by phone then. Good luck, Woody

As of 745 AM EST this morning, Killington's deals for Cyber Monday appear to be working online. I couldn't fix an error in my account address online, though, so I completed the transaction on the phone. Nice guy, but it took 15+ minutes. I received two emails from Mt. Snow at 145 AM...

Mount Snow and Hunter Cyber Monday Links also Not Functioning; Okemo OK Looks like the marketing and technology departments at Hunter and Mt. Snow also failed to communicate effectively with other. At least between midnight and 12:45 AM, the Cyber Monday "Buy" links were not working, despite...
