Try as I might I couldn't get the Pico link to work - Anyone have any luck?

Hey, the first issue of the season for Snoweast Magazine is out.
Here is an e-copy. It will be out for print in a couple weeks.

Patience, it loads slowly.

Look closely to find the Pico and K-mart 2fers.

Got page 49 and see a picutre of our infamous ski club. Where's Billski???

This is bar none, my favorite, and IMO most useful thread on this entire forum.

Well done by all. Keep up the good work over the next few months (((((internet high fives for all)))))

You owe everyone a beer. The price is right, eh?

$41 CAD = $41.26 USD

Sad but true. A few more years and I'll be wallpapering with USD. lol

CAD was worth more than USD in the not too distant past.

Is a Quarter buck gonna make any difference in the purchase of a ticket? Might as well call them even.

save about 10 bucks each. Fine if you're in a hurry and don't decide until last minute.
I suspect Liftopia will have better deals.

Hey, 25 cents is 25 cents.

I thought this was the "Skiing on the Cheap" thread?

Isn't irony fun?

Hee! Hee! Sometimes your time is worth more than 25 cents. I draw the line at food. I would much rather waste my money on $12 burgers when I'm there, because I'm lazy and tired.

Great comment though!
What can you buy for 25 cents these days?

That's pretty awesome.

Too bad we can't know when the powder days will be in advance...

I'd pay $100 to have a powder day with myself and 27 others...
