The tour does stop at Sugarbush and Jay Peak and Jay Peak 2 for 1 every Sunday (as well as midweek) sans black out dates!

I do Mountain Sports Club each year for $30 and get 2 for 1 Jay Peak Sunday through Friday, plus a "free" Smuggs lift ticket (which covers the $30).

I like RSNE mainly for the variety of ski mtns and the Tour Stop. Having a Saturday 2 for 1 option is quite appealing given its not terribly hard to find Sunday 2fers w/o upfront commitment (Irving BOGO, etc.)

Anyone familiar with discounts in the Berkshires? If things go well, I may have a place to stay up there this winter.

I agree! The Ride and Ski Card for $35 getting the free lift ticket is worth it! Taking advantage of just two Saturdays makes it worth it! The fact that most of the proceeds go to Children's Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD) makes it really worth it.

It is a no brainer!

While the Mountain Sports Club does offer some of the same qualities - however supporting CHaD is important to us!

Didn't get to use this but it was the first deal I signed up for last year ... so ... winter must be getting close. Gonna try again.

The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting cooler, the leaves are just beginning to change color, and Skiing On The Cheap deals are in the air.

I'm done here. No more posting deals from me.

I found that link and procrastinated due to work - sometimes work gets in the way! steamboat1 beat me to the punch! Awesome!

Follows the expression:

Most of my life I have skied - the rest I just wasted!

I would certainly not assume that *most* of the proceeds go to CHAD. If I had to guess, I would say maybe $1 out of the $35 price goes to the hospital. I thinks this is mainly a business for the RSNE owner, and he gives a little to the hospital as a marketing thing. That's just what it looks like to me.

Are you friggin kidding me? They have raised over $125,000 for Children's Hospital at Dartmouth. Do you think Chad lets them use the logo for the fun of it? The owner takes no salary, everyone that works with him are volunteers. Yes there are expenses that need to get paid for such as mailings, website, advertising, ski show, etc.

That is a irresponsible statement!
