    SuperPasses 20/21

    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...

    Skiing on the Cheap - 2017-18 Edition

    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...

    Skiing on the Cheap - 2017-18 Edition

    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...

    Sugar Mountain NC: Young Man Jumps from Lift to Avoid Freezing

    http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article135568343.html?ref=yfp All the facts aren't in, but this looks like a clear-cut case of negligence. What a decision to have to make. Woody

    Best/Worst Ski Trail Names

    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".

    Best/Worst Ski Trail Names

    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

    Best/Worst Ski Trail Names

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

    Stereotypes - Ski trip, skiers or even snowboarders

    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...

    Skiing on the Cheap - 2016-17 Edition

    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...

    Skiing on the Cheap - 2016-17 Edition

    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

    Skiing on the Cheap - 2016-17 Edition

    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

    Cyber Monday Deals 2016

    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...

    Cyber Monday Deals 2016

    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...

    Cyber Monday Deals 2016

    Killington Cyber Monday Link Not Working Unfortunately, the Buy Now link on Killington's Cyber Monday offers page wasn't working when I first tried shortly after midnight. Disappointing.

    Boutique Maneige Cards in Quebec It turns out that to register online (so you can buy online) you have to have an address in QC, NB or ON. Not sure if this is the case if you buy in person in one of the sports stores, b/c they're not mailing you anything. Link The discount card (Ski...

    Cyber Monday Deals 2016

    I see that there's a thread on this year's Black Friday deals. Although most were posted in the "on the cheap" thread, it was helpful to me to be reminded of what was available yesterday only. So, how 'bout pulling together Cyber Monday deals? Here's one I'm watching at Killington and Pico...

    Skiing on the Cheap - 2016-17 Edition

    Thanks for the link to boutique.maneige. I checked it out after your post, and the % discounts looked good. I saw where the "Register" link worked for only Quebec, Ontario or New Brunswick residents, so I planned to call to see if others could also buy the card. Today the % discounts are no...
