Yes I remember Mansfield being a little more lax than over at Spruce Camp.

The people who sell lift tickets at Spruce are typically better trained and know more about tickets deals, rules, etc... because that's where the ski school is, beginners are, and a bit more of the customer-service focus is placed.

Got a good one for Jay today:

Works out to $58/night including lift tickets and lodging plus waterpark passes.

It actually works out to $69.54/night if you read the fine print, but that's still really cheap. Looks like you can only select December at that rate though.

I've never heard of "Amazon Local" or AMZN selling vacation deals, is this somewhat new?

Considering if you book 2 days or more they will give you extra ticket for skiing and the water park for the day you arrive! That makes the deal even sweeter! Nice find!

However it is a midweek play in December and March!

Yeah it's popped up in the last year or so. Groupon competitor, I think. I had both of those apps on my phone for most of the year and never used them. Where I live isn't densely populated. I speculate that folks who live in cities can more easily find a use for these services.

How do you find out about it? In 2012, by searching I see they dropped it on November 9 (FB & Twitter), but it doesn't seem as though they advertised it online last year.

Heard about it in last year's thread...pretty sure it was around the first week of October.

If you are local to Burlington, VT and ski Stowe, you can talk with some Stowe reps and receive a $49 lift pass.
