11/30/2015 Weekly Skiing on the Cheap thread

abc · Nov 29, 2015

On the weather sub-forum, we've been having reasonable success with a weekly weather discussion. The thread title always have the dates on them so it's easy to spot.

Anyone can start them. And if you're looking for information for the coming week, just post something on that thread to bring it up to the top. Once the date passed, it drops off. Sometimes there're even two of them being active at the same time, but the dates on the title is easy to distinguish which one is for which week.

I think it could be useful to have something like that here for deals pertaining to the coming week. Especially this time of the year when the mountains are offering tons of new deals daily. What do you all think?

As for the 50 page long main thread for skiing on the cheap, let's face it, it's totally impossible to find anything in there. So much so deals get posted over and over again because there's no way to tell if it's already been posted.

darent · Nov 29, 2015

jrmagic · Nov 29, 2015

If I knew how to program, a calendar would be awesome. This would allow people to plan ahead. But I'm way too stupid to do such a thing.

deadheadskier · Nov 29, 2015

A calendar is a great idea

OK, I guess this thread is the first one.

(I can't edit the title. But hopefully, the following week will have title with appropriate dates in them.

So... the weeks will run Monday-Sunday?

deadheadskier · Nov 30, 2015

Changed thread title and stickied the thread. It will be unstuck next Monday when someone starts the next weekly thread.

MEtoVTSkier · Nov 30, 2015

Not sure it needs to be stickied... too many stickies now so that I barely pay attention to them. Odds are as the week goes on, next weeks thread will be started with deals that start popping up this week. Possibly even 3 threads with the Christmas/Holiday stuff about to explode... just let them fall off the bottom so we can see how it's going to work. Less work for the mods that way too...

"SOTC 11/31-12/6"

"SOTC 12/7-12/13"

"SOTC 12/14-12/20"

"SOTC 12/21-12/27"

e.c.t, e.c.t.....

deadheadskier · Nov 30, 2015

I agree that there can be too many stickies, but I would think people would want quick access to a SOTC thread given how popular they are no?

Yes because code is "whipped up"

MEtoVTSkier · Nov 30, 2015

Yes, but if there is something new and relevant on a particular weeks thread, odds are, it's going to stay on page 1 for the week anyhow..

purchase Killington lift tickets, valid any day, for just $69. That’s a savings of as much as $27, but hurry, this price is only good until midnight, November 30.
