Does any one know of any one day bus/lift trips going on? I think it was Ski Market that used to run them throughout the season. Basically you get up sub-dawn and crawl onto the bus, ski all day, and then nap on the bus home.


From NYC you have Emillos , Urban Shepard from Boston and NYc.

Santas ski free at Sunday River and Bolton Valley

Bolton Valley and Sunday River will both, once again, offer free skiing and riding to anyone who arrives at each resort fully decked out in Santa Claus gear on two dates in December.

Pre-registration is required for Sunday River Santas on Dec. 2, and will go on-line on Nov. 26 at Noon.

At Bolton Valley, Kris Kringles just need to show up at the resort on Dec. 16, but to be clear, a simple hat or beard won’t do. A full Santa suit is required to earn the free skiing at both mountains.

Ho, ho, ho!

LAST-MINUTE GETAWAYS
The online ski-and-lodging package reservation service Last-Minute Ski Getaways has announced some packages. In Vermont, the packages include one at Smugglers’ Notch for $89 per person, per night including hotel and ski lift. Or Sugarbush for a lift ticket and lodging in one- or two-bedroom condos starting at $63 per person, per night. At Stowe Mountain Lodge, you can stay in a “five-star slopeside luxury” accommodation starting at $169 per room, per night with a lift ticket.
These rates can be obtained only through the website, not directly from the resorts, the service says. The company says it will soon announce packages with savings at ski resorts in Colorado and at Mont Tremblant. For more information, visit www.lastminuteskigetaways.com or http://bit.ly/UBU7TQ.

Ski Bretton Woods for $12 on 12/12/12

[h=1]Ski Bretton Woods for $12 on 12/12/12[/h] Permalink|Comments (0) Posted by Eric Wilbur, Boston.com Staff November 12, 2012 02:09 PM


Bretton Woods, which already had a nice layer of snow on the mountain this past weekend, plans to open by Thanksgiving weekend, but in one month, the New Hampshire resort is celebrating the grand opening of its new Telegraph T-bar and rustic warming hut on Mount Stickney with some discounted skiing and riding. Like, really discounted.

On 12/12/12, Bretton Woods will be selling lift tickets for…guess..the price of $12. More than just a “12” gimmick, the price also reflects the retro effect Bretton Woods is instilling on Mount Stickney, erecting a T-bar in lieu of a new chairlift, and creating a “sidecountry” sort of feel to the gladed area. The highlight of the new lift is that skiers and riders will no longer have to return to the base area and traverse over to Stickney.
As for why they decided to name it the “Telegraph” T-bar, history plays a part there too. According to director of ski operations Chris Ellms, during the clearing for the lift over the summer, workers found the remains of an old telegraph cable that ran from a summit fire tower during the days of forest industrialization. The cable was a means for communication with the Mount Washington Resort Hotel, at the base of the mountain.

Unlike that nod, the $12 deal is one day only, of course.

WNEP card $99.00 for 8 PA and NY areas. Not a bad deal even if you only use it for Gore and Greek Peak. Also includes a ticket to Shawnee, Alpine Mtn., JF/BB, Swain, and Sawmill. You can use it twice at Jack Frost or Big Boulder instead of one of each because their tickets are interchangeable. Buy it now if you want one. They go fast.
