Skiing on the Cheap - 04/05

[MTnative]

I just saw some info on a reduced set of SkiNH passes:

http://skinh.com/3pack_6pack.cfm

If you don't have season passes, ski on the weekends, and like to go to NH ski areas, this may be a good deal

The 3 & 6 pack deals look great. But I read this in the fine print:

"I understand that the vouchers may not be honored after a resort has sold out of daily lift tickets for that day."

Anyone know what that means? I wouldn't like driving up on a weekend and being told: Sorry, the vouchers are no good today, you have to buy a full price ticket.

There seems to be lots of deals for states North, but anything for connecticut? I mean I know the stuff in CT isn't the greatest but as I do live here and can't afford to really travel, I was wondering. Also, any good ski shops in CT? I just recently bought a pair of used skis and bindings and want to get them tuned and set to my boots.

Loon is getting Looney!!!

This season you can get a 2 for 1 lift ticket price Tu, W, and Th. at Loon :dunce: I wonder if they will have a Justice of the Peace at the summit to perform marriages, too. :beer: When I take advantage of these days and can't find a date, I usually ask in the parking lot if people are buying single ticks. It's never failled me, but it never did help my romantic life. I assume this is part of their promotion of the New High Speed Summit Quad. By the way, the Sugarbush $5.50 Christmas Eve price would be a blind leader. Christmas Eve and Day usually are great days to ski if you are trying to avoid the weekend crouds. They are trying to lure skiers up (never a problem finding lodging over that weekend) realizing that they might stay on through the week.

Wildcat and Bretton Woods

Wildcat and B. Woods will be continuing their 2 for 1 Wednesdays this year. Wildcat treats it like a half price day (Cannon prabably will continue theirs) and have added a free pass on any day for anyone having a Birthday. Bretton woods have added a cheap lesson for those taking advantage of the 2 for 1.

 

[riverc0il]

yes, cannon is continuing twofers on tuesday and thursday this year. however the frequent skier card is now the "Zoomer Club" which you gotta pay $10 to join. now you gotta ski 10 times regardless of how much you pay to get the free ticket (so weekend price only counts for 5 points). however 10% of the retail shop and 20% off the tuning shop, so it's not too hard to get that money back if you tune up at cannon a few times during the year.

N.H. Residents at Canon

Let me add that on Wednesdays N.H. Residents ski for $15 at Canon. Their Bold and Beautiful pass (which includes Bretton Woods) at $249 and covers midweek has to be the best deal in the Northeast. :wink:

Only $19 at Big Squaw all season long great views and great snow, I was there this past weekend and the snow was fabulous.

Was their main lift operating?

 

[Skimaine4ever]

Nope , it was just lower mountain, still alot of fun though, there was probobly only 30 other people(if that) at the mountain, shich makes it even better. We skied fresh corduroy all day.
