I made an excel sheet of the gas stations involved in SkiRideFree.com displaying them in order from south to north along I-87, with address, hours, exit, distance off 87, distance between next participating station, etc... in order to maximize the total number of gas stamps that can be collected on each trip to the north country.

It was a lot of work, but the ease with which you collect BOGOs makes this my favorite "Skiing On the Cheap" ski strategy, so to me it was worth it so I dont "miss out" on a station I could put 8 gallons in on my way up. This way, by timing it right, I can get one BOGO free lift ticket with each ski trip I make.

I'd post it in this thread if I knew how to post Excel (I know it's possible in similar forums), otherwise if you PM me your email I can email you a copy. I have it for I-87, I-89, and I-91 as well, so it's probably most useful for those coming from NJ, S.NY, or N.MA.

Forgot to mention, I created a GOOG map of all the gas stations in the Free lift ticket program.

If you have a Smartphone you can bookmark the URL to my map below and then call it up on your phone when you're out and about to see all the places participating.

There are 52 stations in MA, NY, and VT linked to the map below. Hope it helps, and feel free to share the URL with anyone else you know who likes this BOGO program.

Quite the contrary.

Nothing here but with how I work things a 2 for 1 isn't of value too often even though I ski about 6/7 days or so per season.

Just in case anyone plans on using my "B1G1 Free Gas Station Map" linked above, for some reason I had to cut/paste and email myself the link above first, and then open it from email on my phone (i.e. Google map search didnt pull it up).

But once opened it's working perfectly, and even integrating with the GPS on my phone. Technology is cool!
