Gunstock is looking for teams for its Monday Race League. 10 weeks of skiing and 8 weeks of racing for only $150. Two of the weeks are night skiing. Works out to $18.75 a day if you don't go at night. Don't think you can get cheaper than that!

I wish I could make that trip. I have been wanting to go for years. But I don't think my wife would let me leave for a weekend with two kids under 2

The question is less whether she would let you leave than whether she would let you come back

The Eastern Townships can make for a cheap mid-week trip thanks to Liftopia. Orford is $26 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Owl's Head is less than $30 on every day that I checked. They have a $20 (non-Liftopia) rate on Tuesdays and Wednesdays beginning January 6th. They are fun hills to combine with a Jay Peak trip if you are looking for a change of scenery.

The $95 Owl's Head ski & stay promotion is available to the general public on their website.

I'm not sure that it's a great deal given how cheap the ski tickets are. It is per-person, so on Tuesdays and Wednesdays two people sharing the room are paying $150 for the room and breakfast. Still, it's got to be one of the cheapest options out there for genuine trailside lodging.

It's the Season of Giving at Ski NH Resorts

On December 5th, Ragged Mountain Resort hosted Benefit Day where 100% of the proceeds from the sale of lift tickets that day were donated to Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. The event was a huge success and at the end of the day they were able to donate $10,000 to CHaD.

Other resorts in NH give back to local communities as well. Here's a list on how resort are helping local communities:

Cannon Mountain - Toys for Tots Drive on Saturday, December 13th. Bring a new, unwrapped toy and receive a voucher for 50% off a full day ticket.

Kine Pine Ski Area - Opening Day is Friday, December 12th, and you can ski and ride all day for only $20. Donate non-perishable food items and receive $1 off for each item received ($5 discount per person max).

Loon Mountain - Ring In The Winter. Bring in a gently used winter garment now through Tuesday, December 16 to help people stay warm this winter.

Mount Sunapee - Cares & Shares Day on Sunday, December 14th. Bring 5 non-perishable food items to the ticket window and ski for only $35.

The Ski Ride Free gas station list is out. I wont have time until maybe Sunday night, but I'll be making my GPS map as usual if anyone wants it.

The good? Vermont gas stations are greatly improved this year, especially where there was some obvious holes, like Chittendon/Franklin counties.

The bad? Whiteface is no longer participating.
