I've only read the last few pages of posts, so I may be repeating an earlier post. (However, these are still running, so it's worth repeating!) The following deals are available to Friends of Harpoon (to become an FOH, go to (http://www.harpoonbrewery.com/):

*Sunapee*
$20 off non-holiday weekday tickets / $10 off weekend and holiday tickets. Blackout dates apply.

*Shawnee*
2-for-1 Fridays, December 1 - February 24. Excludes December 30.

Friday, January 27, is Harpoon Friday at Shawnee. Two passes for $35, plus Harpoon apres specials. YUM!

Thanks for pitching in Justjen! Repeats are welcome, we'll miss something for sure. I forgot all about harpoon!

This is a great deal if you can or already are flying during these dates. I booked flights to Tahoe during the last big sale ($45/$90/$125 flights), but this is even better. Just rebooked the same flights on southwest that I already had booked and saved a couple hundred bucks between the gf and myself! Thanks!

FYI, this doesn't apply to points purchases, I tried. :-(

First Nacski buses got posted; Right now, it's $63 to Sunday River for 12/31; $68 to Loon on 12/31 or 1/1 or to Jay Peak on 1/8 from Woburn, Boston (South Station), or Braintree pickups if you are one of the first 25 to book which is usually easy to do. If 12/31 shapes up to be a good day and nothing comes up until a few days before, SR would be the trip I'd be on. These trips are up $1 from their last year's pricing (as they don't get schedules up until just a couple weeks or so before the scheduled buses). Don't know if I can make it for sure but will sign up if I can get 100% sure about this. If not, I'll catch them with another bus. As they do have a referral program (I'd get a $5 break off a trip), you can enter MA80873413 when you register.

Good to see them back this year as that's how skiing gets to be affordable for me. Went to Jay Peak last year with them in March and am hoping to go this year too to get a true midwinter experience vs more of a spring experience as I closed the season up there last year. Though, since I bought the BSSC bus "groupon" on Buywithme, I'll have to play traitor one day and hop on their bus as both buses board the same place in Woburn (looking to use it for Stowe and or Killington as Nac charges more for Stowe as the first 25 seat at Nac for Stowe price generally matches BSSC's price and Nac doesn't go to Killington); sometimes the same time but in most cases Nacski departs 15 minutes later than BSSC. When I went to SR last year, both buses were headed to the same place.

http://montreal.about.com/od/quebec-ski/a/quebec-ski-deals-packages.htm


he Canadian Ski Council proposes several package deals for differing budgets. Each package deal requires the purchase of 20 lift tickets which can then be redeemed at anywhere from 20 to over 50 different Quebec ski resorts as well as at hundreds of ski hills across Canada. In the 2011-2012 season, the cheapest package deal costs $20 per ticket granting access to 24 Quebec ski hills -- that's $400 plus applicable taxes and a $10 administration fee -- and the most expensive runs $62 per lift admission at 54 different Quebec ski resorts -- that's $1,240 plus applicable taxes and a $20 administration fee. The tickets are not limited to use by one person, so a family of four could use those tickets to go on five separate ski outings in a season.
