Okemo Discounts?

[bheemsoth]

Hey guys,

I'm heading to Okemo next Saturday with about 10 friends, and am a little turned off by the $79 lift rate that day.

I've searched around a bit, but can't come up with any discounts. Anyone have any leads? Or, perhaps know of any places in central CT to get discounted tickets ahead of time? I saw that Ski Haus does discounted sales, but New Milford is a haul from West Hartford.

Thanks in advance!
Brian

Okemo seems to prefer to roll its own deals. It's too late for the steep discounts that come with off season pre-purchases, but you might consider their 8-pack, which are transferrable. 8 tickets are about 69 each. prepurchase online. I think you'll have a hard time finding a better deal for a Saturday at O.

That's what I figured. I slacked on joining my ski club this year, and missed out on voucher deals. Lesson learned I suppose. As luck would have it, my club has a $40 day at Okemo on Sunday, but the Super Bowl makes that a difficult day to ski.

Lots of places offer Super Bowl deals.
Are you staying in a hotel near the O? Often lodging has unadvertised discount tix for their guests.

Join their cell phone program and also join their social media pages (ie facebook). Resorts are experimenting with a lot of last minute deals, you might find something last minute, if they expect their ticket yield to be low. Play the field. I've lucked out several times this way.

We're actually staying at a home way down in the Keene area of New Hampshire, so no luck on lodging deals.

Okemo's super bowl deal is, in your case, unfortunately the Monday after. Ski tickets equal to total points scored - with some sort of ceiling in case of a blow out.

Was there last Superbowl Sunday. The place turns into a ghost town at noon. The Monday skiing is nice and deserted.

I know Okemo offers discounts to American Express cardholders on ski and stay packages too. I believe its 30% off.

may not apply for you but i know Okemo does offer discounts to season passholders from some other mountains. my ski sundown pass would get me $15 off weekend and holiday and 50% off mid-week full day/full price lift tickets to Okemo Mountain. if you have a pass it might be worth checking.

For the CT Ski Council members Okemo is $40 on Sunday. It is the scheduled awareness day location.
