Agreed. You do the work, you get the benefit. Too many people want something for nothing.

I'd rather see AZ members get these deals as well, however this site sees more traffic from lurkers on Google searches than it does from active members. Posting such specific information might actually work against you trying to help others.

I'm of the opinion that deals with limited availability should be discussed in private. That's the way it used to be with skiVT deals. I recall not long ago purchasing these tickets via snail mail a few days after the on sale date and still getting tickets.

Don't forget you can get a Premium membership with some lift tickets thrown in for a few more bucks. I got mine with 2 Berkshire East tickets I think it was $49 or so.

A little birdie told me. It's being circulated by email from Peak Resorts to select audiences.

I see Bromley has a $25 deal on 12/25 for anyone wearing a Santa suit.
Anyone aware of any other Xmas day deals yet?
Trying to make winter break plans, and it's no deal if I gotta rent or buy three Santa suits.

Finally, a deal I might be able to use. Thanks to you both!

Can you use the Groupon deal for one of the deals with lift tix thrown in?

dlague · Oct 18, 2016

I know The Ride and Ski Card was mentioned for $49 with a free lift ticket but it also includes (hint check the ski show)

Zimmermanns - Free ski or snowboard tune with your Ride & Ski Card … that's new!

and some of these are the best deals with the card - realize that m-f deals not unique but there are available but the 2 for 1 on Sundays is good at places like Jay Peak, Waterville, and Windham.

Crotched Mountain
2 for 1 lift ticket, Mon. to Fri., non-holiday or Free Child lift ticket with purchase of adult lift ticket Sun. - Fri.
Ragged Mountain
2-for-1 Mon-Fri non-holiday (SAVE $69)
Waterville
2-for-1 Sunday–Friday at the Ticket Window, non-holiday
Whaleback Mountain
2-for-1 on full day tickets 7 days a week
Shawnee Peak
2 for 1 lift tickets, Mon. through Fri., non-holiday.
Bolton Valley
$39.00 lift tickets any day including holidays

Can the Groupon be applied to the premium memberships with tickets included? Great deals if so.

Have they updated the 2016-17 deals yet? I'd been checking the website and those appesr to be last year's deals. Given though that they are likely to remain very similar.

It says at the top of each state list "Discounts shown are for 2016-17". They generally do not change too much. But Pico is no longer 2 for 1 for example.

Send the guy a PM on the Mountain Sports Club Facebook or an email, he's pretty quick to respond.

If you cant, you're better off just paying the early season discounted rate and getting the "free" lift ticket than using Groupon.

Exactly. The $30 ticket to Berkshire East is a pretty good deal if you're going to be skiing out there anyways. If you value a membership to the mountain sports club at even like $10 the lift ticket looks pretty darn good.

I am doing the $90 for three Shawnee (PA) tix mountain sports deal. A nice local mountain at the right level for my kids. I get better deals there with the Pocono Ski and Ride Card but they don't kick in til January and these work for the holidays.
