Thanks billski for the dates. In past years they also had a few days in January, if I find out I'll post them. Last years dates were Dec. 3-5, Jan. 10-12, & Mar. 16-20. Lodges in the area also offer lodging discounts for SC members during this time in addition to reduced lift rates.

Thank Talisman. He dug them out.

I'm sorting through a bunch of discounts from resorts and shops. Damn work keeps getting in the way. Hope to have that info sorted by next week. Just too many details to keep it straight. I am starting to be approached directly by the "industry" now. Apparently my stupid and naive opinion and ski bigotry have some value. I don't know where. My goal is to have them out by Oct. 1st if I can get out of email jail. I guess it's a good problem. :beer:

What can I say. When I did a Gooogle search "Killington 2 for 1" it took me to a page that said " This is the 2 for 1 page" and that was it. My guess is they are planning on having this deal just as they did last year. and if that's so I guess I can wait since they are not open yet, it's kind of a moot point.
Thanks for the posting, as soon as this goes up I plan on jumping on it.

Sniff, sniff, now my feelings are hurt. :-(
You mean that all our other blather is not worth much? Well, at least not mine?

Billski- your trip reports to the smaller, lesser known ski areas revive all the nostalgia from my youth. You provide a great service and I thank you for it.:flag:

I do need you to be on the lookout for Cannon deals.

thanks my friend.

I look at this like sending a hard corp shopper on a mission. They know how to get the deals and wait to strike for the best deal. I told you that was too much and I don't want to go on a Tuesday or Thursday.

You are so picky. What day is good? I may be able to do something for you. How much are you willing to spend?

I might be able to pull of a Thursday. Friday would allow me a full day on the hill and a relaxed ride to the Institution. Have not done that route in a couple seasons. It's a nice ride.

Now until Monday The Clymb is selling Geigerrig packs at close to 50% off ($60-$75) the pack comes with the Skullcandy Mountain Passport which contains free lift tickets to Bretton Woods, Hunter, Nashoba, Sugarbush, Wachusetts, Waterville, and other resort around North America.

The packs are pretty cool with a pressurized water reservoir so you can easily hydrate, you can determine yourself if it's a gimmick or clever product. I'm not going to be a spokes person for it.

You do need a "membership" to Clymb. Here's an invite.

Here's info from Geigeririg's facebook: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=326063812861&topic=17356

Gratuitous plug for the two Snowboarding search and win promo sites!

The link to Sessions promo site is here:
http://sessions.searchpluswin.com/refer/getfreestuff

and the Ride Snowboards one is here:
http://ride.searchpw.com/refer/getfreestuff

Both sites are an easy way to win free snowboarding and skiing gear. They work like Google only you can win points that can be redeemed for snowboarding gear for using them.

Before it was discontinued I got a lot of free gear from the Rossignol promo offer (including my kick ass Rossi S-7s!). So far I got a free ski jacket for my wife from the Sessions promo and a pair of good ski socks for myself from the Ride promo.

Its an easy way to score free gear! If you havent used them yet they are worth checking out.
