2009/2010 Demo Days

[bvibert]

Back again for the fifth year, I'll be maintaining a list of ski and snowboard demo days.

Please let me know of any that you hear of, the more details (a web link is particularly helpful) you can provide the better.

NOTE: Please click on the Date (ex: Nov 29-30) to be taken to the calendar page for the event, which contains as much info as I was able to find. Additionally you can check the link to the resort website at the end of each listing for more info.

Thanks, I've noticed that over the last few years, but they have nothing on their site indicating it yet. If someone has confirmation then I'll post it.

I believe the Jiminey date is wrong. It does say 12/13 on their site, but my scedule has it as the 20th. I will look into it and get back to you.

After doing some checking, it is on the 20th of Dec. They must have just put 13th because that is the day it has been for several years running.

I do know this is not a discount ticket thread, but here is a discount flex ticket for that day, meant to go with the demo day. $28.95 for the ticket, and of course the demo is free.
Edit- forgot the link to the ticket.http://www.potterbrothers.com/p-3-jiminy-peak-flex-ticket-1.aspx
Ticket can not be purchased at the mountain. Only at our city stores, or online.

Thanks for the info. I updated the post and calendar entry to include the correct date and the discount ticket info.

Ski Mag is doing something at Okemo Dec 11-13.

This year we’re opening up our annual ski test to citizens like you. Come play on all next year’s skis Dec. 11–13 at our Super Demo at Okemo—and tell us —and our readers—which ones you like best. (Oh yeah, it’s free, too.)
