Skiing on the Cheap - 2006-07

[FRITOLAYGUY]

actually Catamount is also 15 dollars M-THU just like butternut, non holiday weeks

 

[2knees]

bromley is $25 midweek.

This is a pretty good deal - Powder Passport. The seven day card brings the price to just under $43 / day. No blackouts.

Another deal I found: starting March 13, 2007, you can ski Butternut any day for $15 / day.

I saw the Powder deal also. I just don't get to many of those mountains.... But I like the option.

Im not sure if they are doing it this year, but last year Price chopper had some good deals on 3-pack lift tickets to various mountains, ill have to check into or if anyone else knows?

The only problem with catammount is they are more likely to get rain than hunter belleayre or windham. I had a season pass to catamount last year and the begginning of the season was great but after that thier was not as much snow and alot more rain. A great deal for college students is at windham 249 for a season pass. But i am still not sure if i will get a pass to windham or catamount this year.

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

Windham does have a good deal for college students but 960bucks for an adult season pass is a little absurd dont ya think?

 

[rob56789]

Yeah thats unreal considering you can get all those multi mountain passes out west and in vermont for cheaper than that

FYI - Jiminy Peak value card with free lift ticket (by 11/26):

This offer in an email today from Jiminy Peak:

"Buy A Value Card and Get a FREE Lift Ticket!
Value Cards are back and if you purchase before November 26th you’ll receive a free lift ticket, valid anytime non-holiday, Sunday through Thursday during the 2006/2007 winter season. Value Cards cost just $36 and are valid for $15 off a lift ticket anytime you ski or ride at Jiminy. Value Card holders are also entitled to additional savings on State Days and Men’s and Ladies’ Twilight. Value Cards are on sale now and can be purchased over the phone by calling (413) 738-5500 ext. 3090, online at jiminypeak.com or in person at the resort."

Not a bad deal at all, even if you ski just a couple of days at JP it makes sense to pick up this card before 11/26.

During the year they sell discount tickets to the local mountains(look on their site for exact mountains) the 10% off can also be used when buying these dicount tickets.

Cool. That is good to know. Thanks.

Got a postcard in the mail from Eastern Mountain Sports: get a free lift ticket to either Stowe, Waterville Valley, Loon, or Cranmore if you buy 2 pieces of their SYNC outerwear.

I am still waiting for my Ski Vermont annual mailing. 3 Lift tickets to participating resorts for 120.00. They allow copies, if I get it this year and anybody is interested I would be glad to email the form to them.

Almost overlooked my wife's Entertainment book. Just thought it was for restaurants that no one went to. There is actually many "2 for 1" deals in the Southern NH/Maine edition. Sure the Mass one has most of the same ski areas. Most are blacked out for Saturdays and holiday periods, some are M-F and a few actually have NO restrictions.

Also under the Gear section, I reported about the Descente jacket deal which gives you a passport for 34 lift tickets throughout the US and some in Canada. Only four from New England (Wawa, Bretton, Jay and Waterville) and a couple from NY (Holiday, Hunter). One pass per area and NO blackouts.

Will report during the season if any area is trying to balk or just act as if it is a hassle to honor these...
