I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on No Boundaries. When Indy went full mobster, I bought a Ski Cooper pass. No Boundaries would round out the NE offerings nicely. Perhaps a few Cannon NH resident days too.

Saddleback is offering passholders of other independent mountains in Maine $59 weekday/ $69 Weekend tix

The Saddleback offer was for last year. It’s not official yet for this year.

If you are close by Black Mountain of Maine does a half dozen or so free ski days a year. Most are Wednesday afternoon.

llbean is expected to again underwrite inexpensive ski days at Black Mountain of Maine and Mount Abram.

Epic Local pass is a nice deal (ducking). Got 1 adult pass and 2 teen passes. Lines arent so bad if you stay away from the base of any area most of the day.

We've booked Beaver Creek for Xmas weekend using Frontier miles for transport. Lodging not so cheap.

"No need to duck my friend. I EPICALLY like you for being an EPIC Ally!"

(See what I did there?)

I am not a fan of LLB, but I give them credit for doing great things for the Maine community.

Yeah. And the BMOM tix were super cheap last year. IIRC it was something like $15 Thursday/$25 Fridays? Screaming deal.

And they give you free LL Bean Chapstick!

Warren Miller film coming around again as usual. Couple freebies and a bogo for the Plymouth, NH show. Tempting as I want to check out what is going on with Tenney. Day or night show

Already got my tickets!

Annnnnnnnnnd............... I just found out that for the first time in > 7 decades there's not going to be a new Warren Miller movie. It's basically a "clip show" that "celebrates" decades of skiing.

It will have new narration over it & perhaps some new footage, but not much. It's a cop-out of an excuse for the company who bought Warren Miller Productions to save money making a film. At least they claim next year will be a new film. Sigh......

I will be eligable for the Cannon $39 midweek pass this season. Pretty good deal for us Granite Staters!

Well it will probably be better than most of the films in the last decade. Hopefully the scenes will last more then 3 seconds, the last couple years there should be a warning to epileptics .

Maybe they will change to more family related or local stuff rather then the most remote Heli skiing that only a handful will experience. Add some humor and quips that Warren made famous.
It doesn’t have to be big budget to be good!

Was in the waiting room for 15 minutes and then was able to snag a ski VT 4-pack just now, hope everyone else here was able to get in

Nice.

I skipped it this year. With IKON and a couple of MRG 3 packs I think I am good.

So the Ski Vermont 4pass lift-books worked slightly different this year with the Waiting room and Que's being randomly assigned for the early line holders from before 12"00 noon. Had my computer and 2 friends all attempting to get into the Portal to buy the lift books as of 11:20 and out of 3 people only my portal opened to buy the passes. "Thankfully this year"
