This isn't a bad deal either, 2013-14 Ride & Ski Card. All the proceeds go to the Childrens Hospital at Dartmouth.

They also have a booth set up at the Boston Ski Expo and give away 2 lift tickets, again select mountains.

The card itself has discounts on it, but what makes the card even better is that they do a 2for1 day tour throughout the season. Every week it's a different mountain and if you own the card you can bring a friend and split the cost of a lift ticket.

We purchase 3 every season! As a result three lift tickets and a boat load of 2 for 1 Saturdays and other discounts as you mentioned. We have purchased the Mountain Sports Club card but it was redundent and not quite as good as The Ride and Ski Card.

We will be helping them sell at their booths (they have two) at the Boston Ski Show - Hope to see some Zoners there!

I've gotten in on some really good specials from them over the years. So if anybody has a set place they're looking for, it might be worth checking somewhat often. I do wonder if I'm still eligible though. Previously I got into it thru Dell Perks, but I don't think that program exists anymore. I seem to recall hearing something about orders being cancelled if they can't verify your eligibility. But I guess it can't hurt to try.

Well the deals are not looking so good with Warren Miller movies this year! However as always, the Portsmouth, NH showing has the best deal though sparse. Last year there were four lift ticket deals and now only two. Boyne Resorts (Sugaloaf and Sunday River) apparently pulled out of that one this year! All other show locations besides this one have Sugarbush only.

October 4, Boyne Resorts are hosting a movie at the Portsmouth Music Hall called “Into the Mind” by Sherpas Cinema. It looks to be an incredible movie, check this out. http://intothemindmovie.com/ They will be giving a free lift ticket to Sugarloaf or Sunday River for early season (Pre Christmas Eve day) skiing or riding!

The trailer is also in the Ski Movie Trailers 2013-2014 thread http://forums.alpinezone.com/showthread.php/123653-Ski-Movie-Trailers-2013-2014-Season

Any of these weekends?

dlague · Sep 4, 2013

Some of them are! For example most are for the first two weekends in the middle of December near their opening. It is kind of a crap shoot - we bought $23 lift tickets two years ago for Gunstock and Ragged in December only to find that the lift tickets were either the same or as in the case of Gunstock $5 less then what I paid on Liftopia.

I would be a little leery of Ski Ward's deal for $19 in early December.

We did take advantage of Jay Peak's $10 deal in January (no brainer) which is not in the list above surprisingly!

In anycase, to guarantee a rate for early season turns - well there are some good rates there!

First weekend of December and MT snow has tickets for 45$ and $35 Saturday that really good prices.

Stratton has a pass like Sugarbush for the 4-20's club. $299 gets you a no blackout date season pass. Wish K would get off their rears and take advantage of this crowd...

was actually just looking at this pass. I thought to myself that its almost too good to be true but then realized while talking to friends that the 20s age group is more likely to spend more on mountain(mostly bar lol) compared to older people with families. I got in on a condo with some people so if we go 6 times its 50 bux a trip which is pretty good nowadays.

The Geigerrig hydration packs are available on theclymb.com today. Looks like they're about 40% off. These are the packs that come with a book of lift tickets and other discounts. Highlights this year for the East would be Killington, Pico, Bretton Woods. Unfortunatly no Sugarbush this year. Personally I'm excited that they have the 2 Southern Utah areas in there this year. Always wanted to do a combo ski trip/National Park trip down that way.

Anyway the Passport Book details are here, notice most tickets are weekday only....

http://www.geigerrig.com/passport2013/index.html

If anybody isn't a Clymb member yet feel free to use this invite link that would get me a $25 credit. Thanks in advance...
