A really good deal for Stratton is their One Nighter Package

http://www.stratton.com/plan-your-trip/deals-and-packages/one-night-two-days.aspx

It is 2 days of skiing and one nights lodging for 2 people. For the Liftline lodge it is $199 total and for Black Bear lodge it is $229 total. It is only for Sunday-Thursday Nights until their prime season is over in mid march. I used this when they still allowed it on weekends in December, and I plan on using it again in March when it can be booked on weekends again. Great deal for staying on mountain.

Seems like a great deal.....if I didn't have a family place to stay 45 mins from Stratton I'd consider going late season

The Shell Gas Ski Free info is now out. They added Angel Fire and Taos in NM this year. Other states are CA, CO and MI. It's basically buy a minimum of 10 gallons of gas and you get a 2 for 1 coupon. It's also very easy to hang around the pumps and ask people to give you their receipts (yes I know from experience). So if anybody happens to be going to Taos this year, like smelly and Cornhead, this could be a good deal for you.

[h=2]Ski For FREE at the Middlebury Snow Bowl[/h] In 2013, the Middlebury Snow Bowl has opened a new carpet lift and is allowing the public to ride for free. Situated on a gentle slope, the “Wonder Carpet” is a great place for beginners to learn or gain confidence before heading out onto one of our three chair lifts. So bring the kids, the family, friends and ride for free. There is no catch – it’s free. Who can say no to free skiing? Call ahead for hours of operation. 802-443-7669

Thanks Jay, there's a slight chance I may get out there this year. I know my Sis wants to go. No participating stations in my area. I do have a friend in Santa Fe, I've tried to get him to go to Taos with me, but he has no interest, he's happy with Santa Fe. He might be able to buy some gas at the station listed in Santa Fe if I ask him.

Waterville - too complex to generalize. read for yourself

Patriots Tuesday's- During the 2013/14 NFL season, playoffs, and (hopefully) Super Bowl (February 2, 2014), lift ticket prices on Tuesdays* (non-holiday), will be the number of points that the New England Patriots hold their opponent to on the previous Sunday (or Monday night). Follow Waterville on Facebook and Twitter to stay updated on the new price each week!
• Temperature Tuesday's- Root for cold temps because lift ticket prices on Tuesdays will be the predicted base area temperature that is forecasted by our professional snowmaking meteorologist. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay updated on the new price each week! Ticket price will be determined at or around 8am on Monday mornings and published via social media, waterville.com homepage, and the snow report. *Not valid Tuesday, February 18, 2014 or April 1, 2014. Offer valid at the Ticket Window only (not available online). Minimum price for a lift ticket is $10. - See more at: http://www.skinh.com/deals/daily-ticket-deals.aspx#sthash.te2XY8F9.dpuf

Yeah, I've done that. I've clicked on every link there is. No place does it take me to a place where I can purchase at the stated discount or print a coupon. Smuggs is the only one that offers a promo code. The rest just state a lame "purchase online" note, but provide no link. It seems to be another indirect marketing site with no value add. Did you try? Don't forget, I'm Mr. Cheap and I dig pretty deep...

I am with you on that one! I have looked over this site for years and they generally post what you already can find at the resorts or other information but nothing worth visiting for. I too am Mr. Ski on the Cheap and that one never provided any benefit. It appears that they are trying to build a site around a coupon concept but the resorts are not biting.
