Metro Ski Council sticker?

Hi, those of you in the NY/NJ area, were you able to get your Metro Ski Council sticker earlier?

I belong to two clubs that are both council member clubs. Neither of them got back to me about the sticker in early December.

After very insistent nagging, I finally got one to respond that he never get the sticker from the council!

This is beginning to have the potential to impact my wallet. I didn't pre-purchase discount tickets because I was counting on the council days. I already missed them in the pre-Christmas storm. Now, even though the condition is so-so, I've got plans to go again next weekend to Sugarbush. Without the sticker, I'm going to get a nasty hit on the wallet!

I have other trips planned with the council days in mind. If those stickers are for any reason no longer available, I'll have to scrape my plans and come up with something different.

So, those of you who're in the NY/NJ metro area. Did you get your stickers per normal earlier in December? Or have you heard any issues on that front?

Thanks.

My club belongs to both the Metro NY & NJ ski councils. I have received the sticker from the NJ council but haven't received one from the Metro NY council. Pretty sure I didn't get one from the Metro NY council last year either.

I got my NY council sticker last season alright. Used it to share turns with a couple of AZ'er who were also using the same council discount. So it definitely worked last season. But it's worrisome that I didn't hear back from TWO clubs I belong...

They do have a website with the officers e-mails you know.

Might get a better response there then here.

The guy from my club already tried that and said he got no response. So I thought I find out if others got it this year at all.

I'll try to find out what the deal is on Monday for you. Our club rep to the council attends all the meetings so he might know more. He's away skiing this weekend so I'll have to wait till Monday to get in touch.

You mentioned you already missed out pre-Christmas. Your 2014 sticker from the council would've worked fine since it was still 2014. I know I used my 2014 sticker at Stowe to ski one day during their Dec. Council days.
