Ski resorts who give college students a day pass discount

skizilla · Mar 3, 2010

I use my college id at berkshire east butternut and pico to get a discount on day tickets do any other resorts do this.

A number of years ago (when I was in school), I think Sugarbush did, though it might not have been published.

Gore's and Whiteface's "junior" tickets are offered up to 19 years old (rather than the normal 18 ), so that should work for freshman year of college.

Blue Mountain does. $10 off M-F

The downside to the student discount is the age limit. Even though I am a full-time college student, I'm too old.

I know there were some season pass discounts but I don't recall which resorts discount day tickets...

Cannon does.

Loon, SR, Sunapee and Bretton Woods do not. : - (

Cannon does.

Are you sure you're correct? I don't see how that can be allowed if it's not advertised with an age limitation. Does the area in question put age in the fine print? Cannon advertises "with valid college ID." My friend who's 35 is a full-time student, and they honored her ID.

I know when I was looking at the season pass options in VT there were at least a few that put an age limit on the student season pass.

ETA: Okemo caps at 29: http://www.okemo.com/okemowinter/ratesandrentals/specialdeals/collegedeals.asp

Stratton also caps at 29: http://www.stratton.com/tickets-and-passes/smartpasses/college-rep-program/index.htm

You're asking a sleep-deprived stay-at-home mom to 2 kids under 5 and full-time college student to remember which resorts popped up in a search back in October that was only a half-hearted search?

Doing my best to reconstruct...see above for 2 of them...

Stratton (& the Stratton/Okemo/Sunapee combo) @ 29

RE

Sunapee is $15 off with ID. They are pretty lax on the ID's, mine does not show a graduation date.

spring_mountain_high · Mar 4, 2010

elk has $20 student Wednesdays...no age limit

soposkier · Mar 4, 2010

Ive used mine at Wildcat, Ragged, and Sunapee this year and I'm two years out of school.

snowmonster · Mar 4, 2010

When I was in grad school (and over 25), I got the day ticket student discount at Pico just by showing the college ID, which did not show dates of enrollment because all the info was on the magnetic strip. I could probably still use the ID because I still look my photo but let's not go there.
