Last year ski card was being sold at a 15$ discount only at the show. There are usually lots of good things "on sale" at the show.
Attitash is rumbling it will do something. Keep you nose peeled ;)

Score! Buying 2+ Thursday

Well, that sucked. I was hitting refresh as soon as the timer hit zero. I selected to buy 2 tickets and then clicked process and was promptly told they were sold out. Went back to the page and watched the number plummet with each refresh and a message that says, "all certificates are processing please check back later."

Right where I want to be
Looks like ride and ski card has updated their site with all the discounts

The Wknd Tour of 2 for 1 skiing on Saturdays (and select Sundays) is also up.
I'm going to try to hit Mt Abram, Sugarbush, and Burke on those days.

Ordered one the other day. Not sure what, if any, free ticket I'll get. May see if they have any at the ski show as well and if they have any free tickets there if so may get one for the wife.

What a deal. The Sugarbush ticket along (no blackouts) is a deal alone.
Besides, I want to enter the contest to win a shotgun. Should keep the line cutters at bay :daffy:

Hey Bill, did you end up getting that back pack? I did, and the Sugarbush ticket is for summer stuff only. Was just wondering if there are different versions of the book. Sucks for me.

Hot tip: I was talking with Jeff D. back in September and he said not nearly enough people show up for the weekend tour happenings. He said it's no BS that they give away $2,000 of swag per event

He'll be at the Beantown show as usual. Helluva a labor of love he does.
