The company I've relied on for transit and tixs last year (Nacski) said they will finally be posting their schedule in 72 hours.

In other news, I got the White Mountain Express schedule (bus that runs out of Haverhill and stops at a bar on the way back on Wednesdays; just some retired firefighters running it for fun more than profit); $80 now for bus and a 1 day ticket, which is a $5 increase vs last year. Many great laughs and is quite a lively trip even off the ski slope if you've haven't gone with them.

With no Wildcat special this year at the mall for a free comp ticket w/ every $250 in Amex GCs purchased (yes, I have used them up on gas, food, etc easily; stuff I would spend money on either way), it looks like I will have to restrategize when I want to do an overnight; but now I know of a few good hostels.

I like your angle. Great ways to really whittle the costs way down.

Liftopia.com $20 Gift Card for $10.
17 minutes remaining.

I actually have bunch of these for free. I can make them available after 12/8.

If the ones you have are from the ski show, they claim only one per login ID allowed. So hopefully no one has been assuming you can load up a bunch of those free $10 cards onto one order.

Hey, the first issue of the season for Snoweast Magazine is out.
Here is an e-copy. It will be out for print in a couple weeks.

http://www.snoweastmagazine.com/Issues/currentissue.html

Patience, it loads slowly.

Look closely to find the Pico and K-mart 2fers.

Is this out in Print yet? I'm still trying to get that Pico 2-for-1 link to work
(by clicking on it weekly, and hoping its live)

Oh, I just saw that Pico 2-for-1 midweek was added to Ride and Ski card! So I only care about the link above if Sunday or Sat is included :)
