I have put this in a couple of places, but Friday Dec 16th is a free day at Attitash. Free is really cheap.

Bolton Valley, VT
$4.00 (four dollars)
December 19-23, 2005 (midweek)

This is usually the slowest week of the season, all around.

Anyone hitting this up next week?? I'm thinking Tuesday...

I might be at bolton on Thursday.

I might be going up there on Tuesday as well. With passes to MRG and Sugarbush it's hard to convince myself to pay to go elsewhere, but Bolton's only an hour away and $4 is pretty damn good.

hey guys are there any deals happening the week after christmas anywhere or is it just a screw job all around? I get that week off from work automatically, but have historically stayed away from skiing because of cost and crowds.

 

[hooks]

You might want to check out "Sliding on the Cheap" next week for some post-Christmas deals. Other than that, I'm not so sure.

I have put this in a couple of places, but Friday Dec 16th is a free day at Attitash. Free is really cheap.

We were there with our season passses. Snowed a foot, dumped all day.Not crowded at all, just wet from all the snow. Legs were smoked.

:flame: Killington, Vermont

Holiday ticket price: $72
Valet parking: $20
E-coli Burger, soggy fries, & coke: $14

heh, didn't notice this one till I was looking through a second time.. :lol:

This post seems rather stupid to me. Tuesdays and Wednesdays residents of Vt. and N.H. can ski Killington for half price. Anyone who cares about the valet parking or eats ski lodge food should pay more attention to the skiing.
