I like the idea of a subforum with a post for each "deal." It would be easier to scroll through a forum than a 60 page thread, with more discussion that deals.

Correlated lists
I won't post the lists publicly but only share info with friends. It takes hours of work to organize and correlate. People are always ready to take something for nothing, which rubs me the wrong way. Now, if you're willing to pony up a deep discount, a voucher or beer, I might be so moved to barter. Magic flag and Yankee humor bashers need not apply!
I keep a few list privately, including one you refer to. Been doing it for about 5 years. One is a calendar list of deals, sequentially through the season. It includes the blackout dates and major holidays/blackout dates/sports events (superbowl). I keep a days of the week list. I keep a another list of affinity cards/programs (Ride and Ski, etc.) correlated to mountains. That helps early in the season to decide what cards to purchase. I do it manually and it quickly helps me offer suggestions to friends.

I'm a volunteer here Bill and have nothing at all do to with the website platform and such things. I was just agreeing that the calendar is a good idea. I like the subforum idea as well.
You could certainly strike up that conversation with Nick about a billski special

It is in the urban dictionary. I looked it up. It is a variation on the rusty trombone which includes a lift ticket deal.

It's a deal limited to Okemo, though.
