BSSC offers buses every other week for $59 to Mount Snow; remaining buses will be March 7 or 22nd; thought I'd mention this because it would be technically as good as that when you take a look at gas savings (especially it being $3.75 a gallon now). Closest stop to you would be the Riverside Station in Newton MA (so note $5.75 for parking so total for 2 people to ride the bus if that's the case would be $124 so I guess that's good enough to call it about even w/ incremental wear and tear). Other than that, take a look at Stratton as they've been having some good deals lately and they have a 3 pack of lift tix running for as low as $89; must prebuy online tomorrow.

Also, there are Wachusett vouchers for free at Roche Bros; buy 4 bags of Popchips for $10 and email your receipt to ski@popchips.com. I sent mine in last Friday and have yet to hear back from them though.

Update on the Wachusett vouchers from Roche/Popchips: they confirmed today that it is in the mail; there is a limit of 1 per customer and the last day to make your purchase will be 3/2. Hopefully, they get nailed pretty well with this storm.

So yes; for the person asking about Wednesday bogos; spend $10 to get 4 bags of popchips and a day (or night) at Wachusett.

Camelback for Aliens

For those of you skiing further south, or interested in trying out the Mid-Atlantic, Camelback PA reports being 100% open today, Sunday March 4, with plans for snowmaking tonight and tomorrow night. They're offering some late-season deals for "aliens," whose loyalties may lie elsewhere:

Have you visited another mountain this season? Maybe you even have a season pass from some place other than Camelback - I know, this may be hard to believe for some, but aliens do exist and we think they come in peace. In fact, we invite all you aliens to bring your lift ticket or season pass from another mountain and receive a discount starting February 26th.

Alien Lift Ticket - Bring your lift ticket from another mountain to any open ticket window and receive $10 off of a lift ticket at Camelback on Sundays for the rest of the season.

Alien Season Pass - Come to guest services and bring your season pass from another mountain and ski for free on your first visit and receive a free CamelCard for the 2011-2012 season. Please bring your alien season pass to Guest Services to receive this offer. Click here to see what the CamelCard has to offer, from 50% off lift tickets and a Free ticket every third visit!

A season pass or lift ticket from another ski resort and some other information is required to receive these offers. You will be required to hand in your lift tickets at the ticket windows to receive the discount. Valid during the 2011-2012 Winter Season
