Skiing on the Cheap - 2005-06

[deadheadskier]

Just learned from this site that tickets are only $5.50 on Dec 23rd at Sugarbush. I'll be hitting that up for sure.

 

[WWF-VT]

Just received Ski Vermont promotional magazine. There is a lift ticket offer available that includes most of the Vermont resorts. You can purchase a 3 day for $125 or 5 days for $200.

Could save you a few $$$ if you get limited days at Vermont mountains.

NY State 4th Graders Ski Free

Here is a link to New York State 4th Graders Ski Free program.

http://www.44free.com

It looks like you can be a resident in any state and still apply.
Application for fourth graders ski free

Here are two New England-based organizations that offer season-long savings for an upfront fee:

Ride & Ski New England Super Value Card

N.E.V.Ski Association - The original virtual ski club

I'm hoping to hear news from both of them as to what mountains are participating in their programs for 2005/2006. I contacted the person who sold me my Ride & Ski New England Super Value Card last year and there's no word yet (as of a week ago). It's going to be interesting to see if the N.E.V.Ski Association will be back this season.

N.E.V.Ski Association - The original virtual ski club - Link is dead - outta biz????

 

[dmo]

Anyone know if there are any restrictions to the ski free on your birthday at Bellyare promotion? My June birthday would put me right in the MLK holiday weekend... wondering if it would still be free.

(Especially since my ASC pass will be blacked out then.)

 

[moguljunkie]

Since their website doesn't say otherwise, it has to be fine. I went on my free day last year -- 12/30 -- with no problem, and that's a holiday week.

N.E.V.Ski Association - The original virtual ski club - Link is dead - outta biz????

yea, that link has been dead for a while now. a good idea that failed to materialize. i'm not bitter though for having tried to be part of it and ponying up a small amount for dues the first season. wasn't much different than the Ride & Ski New England card since the online chat and forum never took off. they had different mountains than RSNE. a lot of people talked big about that group but never participated, RIP.
