If I happen to be heading back home to NY some Thurs. I'll check it out to save me some drive time after skiing. I've skied Magic alot & like the place when there's snow but it's been a few years since I've skied there.

This is the 3rd year in a row I'm going to attempt to ski Magic for the first time. Hopefully it pans out. It sounds like Vermont's Plattekill, and if that's even remotely true, I'll like it.

If you're in the NYC area, as a head's up the Warren Miller movie is this Saturday night (two showings).

You get FOUR LIFT TICKET VOUCHERS per $22 movie admission. Now, as any red-blooded skiing-on-the-cheap fans knows, that's a pretty amazing deal.

The tickets are Belleayre, Gore, Jiminy Peak, and Sugarbush.

As for restrictions, the Sugarbush ticket is a M-F as it was last year. No word on the others, but Gore was unrestricted last year, and the Jiminy ticket was a BOGO. Belleayre didnt participate, but I'd speculate they'll do whatever Gore does given the NY connection, and as I said last year Gore was unrestricted. Fingers crossed.

Half off Snow Ridge, $19 no restrictions. Pre-pay for cheap powder days, awesome little hill in North-central NY, tons of lake effect snow. $3.75 handling charge, so $22.75, still a great deal.

Sugarbush is the only voucher listed on the WM website. The others must be side deals with the promoter. I'm disappointed Gore isn't a voucher for Binghamton this year, it was last year. It is for Rochester, much further from Gore than Binghamton, WTF?

Has anyone else not received their Ski Vermont passes yet? We had our credit card charged, but have not yet received them. Two friends of ours did get theirs delivered though.

I know they're a small operation and may still be fulfilling orders, and that's fine since we won't be able to use them for a month at least, but I want to make sure something didn't happen.

Fox 44 discount card! I ordered it and got it about 5-6 day later! That is a great deal! I am still waiting for my Ski Vermont 3 pass.

Sugarbush is the only voucher listed on the WM website. The others must be side deals with the promoter.

From the promoter's site:

All attendees will receive a free lift ticket vouchers (some restrictions may apply) to each of the following…. Jiminy Peak, Gore Mountain, Sugarbush, and Belleayre Mountain .

I'm disappointed Gore isn't a voucher for Binghamton this year, it was last year. It is for Rochester, much further from Gore than Binghamton, WTF?

Makes perfect sense. The point of free marketing like that is to draw in dollars that you otherwise wouldn't. Giving away freebies in your backyard just cannibalizes sales.

Well the show we always attend used to have 2 fers for Killington, Pico, Sugarbush, Sunday River, Sugarloaf, and Gunstock. Last year Killington and Pico dropped off. Now it is down to Sugarbush and Gunstock.

I was talking to one resort at the Ski show in Boston and he said when resorts have good years then they give less away. Hence, fewer comps at ski show and movies.
