Loon is doing 1/2 days on non-holiday Sundays for $29. Great price if that works for you.

I was on my way home from a weekend ski trip on Sunday and stopped at Loon for a half day (to break the long drive up) and we were pleasantly surprised it was $29 instead of $61.

Magic is for Lovers and Dancers this Valentine's Day!




This year Valentine's Day falls on a Friday (2/14) and Magic is turning its ticket booth into a kissing booth for the day. Any couple who kisses in front of the ticket booth can score full day tickets at half day prices!

Would you kiss one of your ski bro's for a discount tix?

I skied Platty Saturday and Sunday, conditions were pretty good, and will only get better if they get somewhere between 7" and 14" by then.

If Platty gets 10"+, I'll definitely be there!

Heck, I'll probably be there even if they don't get 10" (though it looks like they'll get at least 6+" anyway, so yes, I'll be there regardless!)

Some of these have been mentioned above, but here are the Vermont Valentine's Day Deals I know of (some listed are ongoing weekly deals, some are V-Day specific)! Hope everyone can get out and take advantage of this great snow:) I hit up both Mad River and Sugarbush Mt. Ellen this week, both are skiing fantastically! Even delved a tiny bit into the Mad River woods for the first time this season, though they are still bony!

Happy Skiing,
Jamie

Thanks! As I personally exclusively ski in Vermont, I've been collecting and putting together lists of VT deals for a bit now, and am not particularly familiar with other NE ski areas. However I'm hoping to expand my ski deals blog and weekly "deals emai to include all of NE. Send me a PM if you are interested in learning more! This forum has been really helpful as I seek out deals and has convinced me I need to expand my blogs scope beyond Vermont. In general I just love having a place to share where the best deals are!!!

Looks like the wheel of deals is making a return to Waterville on Fridays only in March. Lift tix are still the regular $65 unless you get a discount from the wheel.

Got my K pass down to $32 & change per day already with at least 2 months skiing to go. Still have 6 VT. passes to use & some ski club appreciation days still to come. Who said skiing is an expensive sport?
