I plan on it using the Gems Card. Lots of my co workers have season passes at Monarch. They do not like the summit County madness.

Less complaining, more getting Vermont-5 and Vermont-3 passes. You can ski Stowe and Stratton for $40 twice each if you get both the 5 and the 3.
Also Bolton Valley wins the 4-pack challenge. $100 at the ski show 2 years ago. Last year I think it was a few bucks more but they ended up never charging us (which I didn't object to especially as we ended up burning the passes with the crappy season we had!)

Vermont Ski 5 and 3 are truly the way to go in Vermont!

Everyone gets all of that? I'd drive up to Hartford for that.

My wife doesn't really ski anymore but always enjoys coming along with me to the ski shows/movies so I double up on almost everything ski show or movie related. It's a pretty inexpensive way to build my ticket supply each year while "skiing on the cheap"!!

The vouchers have some fine print attached
http://www.skinet.com/warrenmiller/events/the-bushnell-mortensen-hall
The Sugarbush is mid-week
The Gore is no holidays
The Smuggs fine print is TBD
The Killington 2-for-1 is early or late season only
Still a steal imo. Grabbed 3 tickets with the early season code. Thanks Sugarbushskier I love this stuff!

Gore is also really a BOGO unless folks have a desire to do some early December skiing up there.
As a future, "note to self", I'm open to BOGO trades for any of the New England hoards on here who will most likely not be using that Gore voucher.

And if you don't stay up late you *will* miss out on 5-passes and maybe be able to get a 3 pass in the morning.

Cool; thanks.
I accumulate so many cheap deals etc... that I'm actually more interested in the 3-pass than the 5-pass, as $40/day is typically somewhat "expensive" for me. Really doing it for Stowe & a Jay Peak Saturday.

You still have to jump on them right away or you'll be shut out. I think everything was sold out before noon last year. Also I was surprised the 5 pass sold out before the 3 last year, previous years the 3 pass typically sold out first.

I bought mine late that night when they went on sale. I believe I checked back the following morning at 9am and all of the VT Ski 3 Passes were gone but there were still VT Ski 5 Passes available. My wife and I wound up using 2/3 last year due to conditions and how the riding days fell. One of them was used at Stowe, which makes it worth it by itself almost. Stowe was really nice, but their prices are absurd.

I think their online ticket at $89 is very competitively priced not that I would pay that. Their By-Pass is a decent deal too. Only time I ski Stowe is either with a VT. pass or on a ski club appreciation day both about $40 & change.

Yeah, that's what we did last year. Probably join a ski club again this season and try and make it to 1 or 2 of their appreciation days also.

Don't know if you saw it but Stowe already announced their ski club appreciation days for 16-17. I posted them earlier in this thread, here they are again http://www.stowe.com/groups/council/. Jan. & Feb. dates are Wed.-Fri., all the others are Fri.-Sun.
