There are a bunch of the Irving stations here on the Seacoast. I would say it is the most popular brand in the area actually. Odd that they don't participate.

Irving does their own 2 for 1 ski program with 3 gas receipts

Right where I want to be
And Killington agreed to have Pico 2 for 1 Sunday through Friday. Midweek (considering that they are closed Tue. and Wed.) is no biggie as others mentioned but Sunday is gold!

Now Jay Peak and Pico are 2 fer options on Sunday! There will be more to come!

Plus the Ride and Ski Tour will stop at Jay Peak on March 1st and card holders ski on a 2 fer - on a Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!

why not share all the 2 fers and deals with us?

I was asking about these Ride and Ski card 2 fer stops. Are they the same as last year?

They generally are the same resorts but the order can change, From time to time they will add a new one or take away one, 12-14 Saturdays of 2 fers! Right now they are working out the details and will be putting on their website in late October!

Stowe walk-up window rate $98.:eek:

That is stupid prices! Gotta keep the riff raff out! They can keep that place for the super well off! Cannot justify that ever! Certainly not skiing on the cheap there!

Stick to ski club days if you really want to go there!

I think it is a great thing that offer this to Military people, but on weekends it is 25% off regular rate with that card. If was 50% on the weekends I would have bought the card.

Plus the Express Card entitles you to a single lift ticket per card holder per day. I agree the idea or gesture is great but we are a family of five so the numbers do not work out that well for us. For a single person or even a couple then it helps for sure!

Nice gesture on the part of Killington Mgt. This is the first year I purchased insurance on my pass because I was injured last year & wasn't sure if I'd be able to ski. Looks like I'll be getting a refund.

Greetings Killington Season Pass Holder!

Over the past year we've been looking at all aspects of our business to ensure what's in place makes sense to all guests, especially our most valued guests - pass holders. Hopefully you've noticed some of the positive changes we made in the past 12 months, and we've got another for you right now.

We want our customers to get great value out of their season pass and encourage more to become pass holders so we took a close look at our season pass credit/refund policy - and have decided to make a change.

Moving forward, if a pass holder suffers an injury, gets pregnant or loses a job, to name a few, and can no longer use their season pass, we will credit a proportional amount of the purchase price based on our new Credit / Refund Policy. There is no longer a fee to buy into this policy - we are basically offering Refund Protection Option, for free to all pass holders.

You'll be receiving a refund for the Refund Protection Option you purchased along with your 2013/14 Season Pass. Refunds are being processed this week, but may take up to ten business days for you to receive. If you have questions regarding this policy or your refund, please email seasonpass@killington.com.

It is starting to get cold at night up here and the season is just around the corner. We will again be shooting to open in October if presented with the snowmaking opportunity. Stay tuned for updates.

I personally thank you for your business and your passion for our resort. We continue to look for ways to make our resorts better so feel free to email me any thoughts at msolimano@killington.com.

Sincerely,

Mike Solimano
President and General Manager
