St. Patricks Day at Mount Snow.

I found lift tickets on Liftopia for $17 at Mount Snow on St. Patrick's Day, but it says that you have to buy them by today. I then went on the Mount Snow website and the are saying all over the place that lift tickets are $17 for St. Patrick's Day. It doesn't say anywhere that they need to be purchased in advance. Does anybody know if this $17 price is the ticket window price or do I need to purchase the tickets in advance?

Show up at the ticket window at Mount Snow on Thursday with $17 and you get a ticket. FYI, with the weather forcasted to be mid 50's and sunny(same as last year) and a GREAT St. Paddy's Day band/entertainment line up, get there EARLY, as last year they had roughly 10,000 people show up and the traffic heading up 100 to Mount Snow mid morning stretched a long way back

Possible 10,000 people showing up has changed my mind about going to Mt. Snow for St. Patricks day. F that

Last year was HUGE. I know many people in the Mount Snow admin that I've talked to about last year, from Food and Beverage, to Marketing, to general management that were just amazed at how many people showed up last year (like 3 to 4 times as many people as they thought might show up). This year, with a clsoe to carbon copy forcast, and the same priced lift tickets and great entertainment set up, they're prepping for a big crowd. But in all likelyhood, it will be a day that resembles a very big mid winter crowd if the forcast plays out like they're expecting. And by early afternoon (heck maybe even mid-morning) the base area will likely resemble one big beer garden, instead of a ski area
