Crotched Free Ski/Ride County Days

I just received this from Crotched:

** FREE SKI/RIDE COUNTY DAYS **

People living in the following counties will receive one (1) complimentary lift ticket per person at Crotched Mountain valid on the specified day. Proof of residence required - so bring a drivers license or valid form of verification.

Monday March 13 -- Middlesex County, MA - FREE Tuesday March 14 -- Worcester County, MA - FREE Wednesday March 15 -- Merrimack County, NH - FREE Thursday March 16 -- Hillsborough County, NH - FREE Friday March 17 -- Cheshire County, NH & Rockingham County, NH - FREE

It's a bit further south but I'd guess that the conditions should hold out for next week...

Loving the marketing hype! Especially impressed with 3/31 "ALL STATES DAY" that conveniently excludes most of New England and the Northeast.

But I'm sure alot of folks will travel from Nebraska to ski free at Stratton.

Point is, then they should think of a better name for the promo.

All means ALL.

The days are getting longer and warmer, and another skiing & riding season is winding down in Vermont, but there's still a lot of snow on Mount Mansfield to get out and play in!

And Stowe Mountain Resort, The Point and Seven Days Newspaper want to thank you all for another great season.

So we're is lowering the price of lift tickets by $7 each day during the final week of the season, until EVERYONE SKIS OR RIDES FOR FREE on the final day of the season - Sunday, April 23rd.

Each day the snow melts a little more, and each day the prices will drop a little more, until the skiing and riding are FREE - with a suggested donation to the Stowe Education Fund.

FINAL WEEK TICKET PRICES
Monday, April 17th - $42
Tuesday, April 18th - $35
Wednesday, April 19th - $28
Thursday, April 20th - $21
Friday, April 21st - $14
Saturday, April 22nd - $7
Sunday, April 23rd - FREE!

This special is, of course, conditions permitting, so make sure to check out our web site for the latest trail conditions report, daily pics, video and even a live web cam of the trails.

I'm almost willing to bet that, like last season, Stowe will "coincidentally close" on Friday and say, "gosh, oh darn, we couldn't make it for the cheap/free skiing." :roll:

if anyone is planning a trip to Colorado next year and you know you want to hit Winter Park or Copper, check out the Winter park season pass deal. $239 for unlimited skiing at WP and Jane ( THE bump Mecca ) and 50% off lifts at the other Intrawest resorts plus a bunch of coupons and discounts for friends. 4 days at WP and 2 days at another Intrawest resort and you are ahead.
plus, there is the hope that ASC folds and Intrawest picks up Kmart over the summer. < smily face here >
