Are you required to attend meetings for Ace or can I just pay my nickel and enjoy the ride?
You can just pay. Tickets are distributed at the December meeting so that is one incentive to go.

I was a member of Ace for a couple of years. Never went to a meeting. I found the club to be well organized and the deals quite good.

Just a bit of advice. The ski deals end soon so joining later means you won't be able to use any this year (except for maybe ski club appreciation days). I think the deadline for ordering ski club discount vouchers for various resorts that are good anytime ends sometime this week, at least I know my clubs order forms are due this week. As Yeggous already stated the ACE vouchers that went on sale in August are just about sold out except for some small areas.

Speaking of Ski Club Days, is there a "Final Version" of that PDF yet?
I would join now just for the appreciation days at this point. The good tickets are unavailable

I wouldn't expect an update. Last year was the same thing, the preliminary list was the final list. Like I said before there are dates & places that aren't on that list. I've posted most of the ones not on the list in this thread already.

Definitely worth it. Just the savings on one day at most places pays the dues. Me I just use a few Stowe days, that's it. My savings belonging to a ski club is mostly from lodging costs. I don't have the luxury of living close enough to the places I like to ski for day trips.

The ride is s killer if you can't find decent rack rates. Its on of the reasons I ski NH, you can always get a place to sleep inexpensively in the N Conway area. Stowe is about 4 hours away and can be really expensive to stay. Same reason I haven't skied at Sugarbush Jay or Sugarloaf.

As of this morning this is still not working. Will keep my eyes on it as it looks like I can be up there the weekend of the 15th and would ski even limited terrain for 20 bucks.

There are reasonably priced places to stay near all those areas.

I pulled something similar. My GF lived on North Conway the first 4 years we dated. It was really great having her place there. I hit 59 days one season. Unfortunately, my skills weren't very employable there so she moved my way.

If anybody needs a 40% off Geigerrig code send me a PM. It says the code will work 3 times, I'm 99% sure I won't be buying one this year, so 1st 3 get the code. Lowest priced pack on their website is $115 before discount.

Mountain Sports Club has their $30 package with free lift tickets. Grabbed a Berkie and Crotched one today. Unlimited BOGOs for Berkshire East (M-F), Ward, Black (M-F), Cranmore, Crotched, Dartmouth, Whaleback, buy one get one half price at Platty, Burke (M-F), Jay (Sun-Fri), Smuggs (Early and late season), and then lots of $5-$15 off things. Late in the year they have great specials, last year was $15 tickets to Magic and Platty after March 1st. This thing saved me over $400 last year.
