Just wanted to add that after 13 plus years, I finally switched off VZW and am on Page Plus cellular using my same 3g smart phone. Still have Verizon service, fraction of the price.

I thought Stratton was one of the "big boys", but I guess they are not immune to financial realities. Too bad but they got my money anyway and we made the best of skiing 3 lifts and the same 10-12...

Just skied Stratton this weekend. While the weather was a little tricky, coverage on the trails was wall to wall and midwinter like.

Weather was spring like though so we got frozen hardpack in...

Sierra Trading post has some good deals lately. Wait for the extra 35% or 40% coupon that stacks on top of the usual discount.

Then I went through a phase of collecting pins and now stickers.

I just wish Stratton would have cut the daily lift ticket price this late season so I could use my x2 card. Doesn't matter now much, scored 2 day ticket for 49$ for 1st weekend in April off the...

Looks great! I might give it a shot this weekend if the weather and conditions hold.

Its snowed on the way up your Stratton. Could be a good sign.

Unfortunately, the Stratton $399 value pass they see advertising is only good for 2013-14 season and not for this spring.

Seems like the $199 Killington pass is only good for the remainder of...

Does that carry over to next season? My understanding was the Stratton pass was good for 13-14.

The value pass is 399$. If you are going to do some late season turns, it could be worth it. Until 4–22

87$ is still near the top of the market. I would hesitate to go to Stratton on a Saturday, it can be a zoo. I think they are feeling the general stagnation in the ski industry due to rising fuel...

You just need to ski about 6-10 days to break even. Full retail ticket is 87$.

However, it find out that it's actually cheaper to get tickets via Liftopia.

I am considering doing it but.... I...

I still find 2 way radios to work best for getting connected to people on the slopes. Works on Europe and where ever you don't have service.

Another thing that is happening is if your cell phone is roaming, it will consume more battery searching for a signal. Maybe a bigger concern for non verizon users.

Turn off mobile data or put...

Buy 3500 mah batteries and an external charger. I run the batteries to empty to condition them. The phone doesn't charge the batteries to full.

I did the emiliosskishop.com bus to Okemo recently on Mlk day. 105$. I ve taken them before and they seem to be thorough. They were okay but the only thing that I didn't like was that this time, they...

Yeah, I am glad I chose Monday instead of Saturday to ski.

No but I am the guy trying to stay just under 10 mph above the speed limits in Vt. Lots of speed traps.

Crowds were light. Not alot of daytrippers, seems like most of the people I encountered on the lifts were the remnants of the holiday weekend crowd getting ready to go home. Only about 4-5 tour buses...
