Many AZ'ers have vouchers, lift tickets, BOGOs, etc. that they either cant or dont use, and it made me realize that many people (myself included) come into possession during the course of the season of valuable stuff that they know they probably wont use.
So it made me think, what if there was a stickied thread for swapping BOGOs, Lift Tickets, Coupons, Lift Vouchers, etc.? Sort of like how kids trade baseball cards at a table, what if we each posted the tickets we had but couldnt use, or likely wouldnt use, or perhaps simply we'd PREFER to trade some deals we're in possession of FOR other deals?
EXAMPLE: A NJ resident acquired a few Jiminy Peak BOGOs that he/she almost certainly wont use. But what if someone here who lives in MA had a few Gore or Hunter BOGOs or lift tickets that likewise, they are almost certain they wont use? Match made. Given how many people claim they have "too many" vouchers for XYZ or tickets/vouchers for places they wont get to, I think it could work.
I envision short posts that are something like this:
I have: 2 non-holiday BOGOs for Hunter, 2 M-F lift tickets for Killington, and 1 unrestricted lift ticket for Camelback.
Will trade for: Similar deals to Jay Peak, Cannon, Gunstock, or Pat's Peak.
This will just be a ticket swap thread, so it shouldn't get cluttered with tons of posts like the "Skiing on the Cheap" thread does. Please make sure to list ALL restrictions for what you're offering (e.g. no holiday's, M-F only, S-F only, expires January 31, 2014, valid 03/01/14 to close, etc.)and make sure your offer is in fact transferable. Other than posting what you have to offer in a trade, the bulk of the communication should take place in the form or PM (we dont need to see 8 posts negotiating a trade in progress). Please edit your post with "GONE" if an item has been traded and no longer available. Thanks, and happy skiing this winter.
