Know it's been just discussed to the point that there's a free Wachusett ticket when you buy 4 bags of Popchips at Roche Bros but here's the details. You go in the store and all you have to do is email your receipt to ski@popchips.com and the ticket comes in the mail. It's unclear if there's any limit on the promotion but I'm going to ask. The ticket is valid for a day or night ticket during midweek periods through April 3 and you can make the purchase through March 30; will be $2.50 a bag at least through Thursday 2/30 to my knowledge.

Any mountains offer 2 for 1 deals on Wednesday? Or someplace cheap for a college student less than 3 hrs from Worcester?

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.

Buy a sammich from dunkin donuts in NH and waterville is 50% off. Cannon is only $55 with a college id.

Check you local ski shop. Many of them sell tix about 10-20 Georges off.

There's lots of others, but it's too late to signup. Get going next summer. Seriously.

As always, verify with the mountain before you go. I take no responsibility for errors herein. Or anywhere else in the world.

BTW, weekday prices are significantly low to begin with.

Enough?
