Skiing on the Cheap - 2007-08 Thread

Well, it's time for the annual "Skiing on the Cheap" thread. Post links to ski deals you've found for the 2007-08 ski season. We'll sticky this thread as we get closer to the season.

I don't have a link but there usually is a Belleayre booth at the NY state fair in Syracuse where they give away free lift ticket vouchers that are good any day. This year the fair is 8/23 - 9/3.

Ragged Mountains season pass prices are extreamly low this year.

http://www.raggedmountainresort.com/seasonpass.asp

$199 Adult
$179 Jr/Sr/Collage

the Mount Snow Classic pass is a pretty good deal too, $499 with not too many blackout days

http://www.mountsnow.com/seasonpasses.html

We're getting closer so I figured I bump this one.

Anyone have any info on Children's Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD) rideandskine.com discount card? I saved a bunch last year with it (Crotched 2fers) and some free full day passes, but the site is dead now.

Crested Butte : Three Weeks FREE!

No stickie, didn't you always make this a stickie, it should be a stickie. Will you make it a stickie ?

Agreed, this one should be a sticky.

Also a question to ADK skiers: in recent years I remember being able to get Gore/Whiteface passes online up to Dec 20 or so at $49 per day, no blackouts. Looked at the Whiteface web site and couldn't find -- is this deal no more, or is it just not posted yet?

Never mind, just found the answer to my own question on the Gore website - under tickets/passes, click "gift certificates", you'll find:

2007-2008 Snow Sampler 4-Pack
Four fully transferable tickets valid any day of the 2007-2008 snow season at either Gore or Whiteface Mountains. These tickets have a firm expiration of Closing Day, Spring 2008. This rate is in effect through December 14, 2007. - $219.00/ea.

Cranmore will have 2 online deals this winter - $70 for a "weekender" ticket (Sat. & Sun. non-holiday); or $70 for a Sunday two-fer (non-holiday). This is in recognition of our 70th year of operation. Both of these deals give ya $35 per day lift ticket.

And on Fri. Dec. 21, we are rolling back ticket prices to the 1930s with a $3.30 all day adult lift ticket.

Yee haw!

I think the Maine pass options are really good. the mid week pass is a good deal. The Maine student pass takes care of the locals. May not be cheap, but the best value around for two quality mtn IMO. I bought 4. ow ya College pass is a great deal.
