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.

My friend just gave me a copy. It's actually 3 days for $125 or 5 days for $200 good at just about every resort in VT, does have the normal blackout days during holiday periods. I'm going to get a couple, worth it just for Stowe, Sugarbush, Burke and Jay.

Just saw this on the K-Mart website:

VERMONT/NEW HAMPSHIRE DAYS
Residents of Vermont and New Hampshire ski for $36 at Killington and Pico Mountain every Tuesday and Wednesday this season (excluding 2/20-2/21/07). Just swing by any Guest Service Desk at any base lodge to sign up for your FREE Vermont/New Hampshire Card that can be taken to any ticket window to receive a discounted ticket.

$36 to ski Killington. Great deal.

Sugarbush's College Pass is $319 and given the terrain, the two new parks being created by Superparx (www.superparx.com) and the length of the season is a great deal. They are NO blackouts. The deadline is extended to 11/10 inorder to see the new features at Burton's event on 11/10.

The annual Birthday celebration where you can ski for $5.50 is being held on Friday, December 22nd. This was the price of the original ticket when the resort opened 12/25/58.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it but in the CT Beer Market Harpoon IPA's come with some sort of coupon for Okemo, possibly killington? Not sure because they came on a 12 pack, i happened to pick up something else. Cheers

I was just checking out Sunapee's web site and they have their "Cares and Shares" day on Sunday, 10 December -- bring in 5 non-perishable food items and a lift ticket is only $25. They also have one at the end of the season (if they are open that late).

Does anyone know whether Bretton Woods is still doing the Sunday Special for Coos/Grafton/Carroll County residents? I haven't heard anything about it since the resort was sold.

Bolton Valley $4 tickets 12/19-23 to celebrate new TTB Vista Quad!

strange, that sounds like the same promo they offered last year. i did not see anything on their web site about this promo.

 

[FridayHiker]

99 Restaurants are offering a free ticket to either Okemo or Sunapee with purchase of $100 worth of gift cards.

If you eat there occasionally anyway, it seems like a good deal. I couldn't find anything about it on-line, but there is information about it at the restaurants.

SkiNH Ski free NH 4th graders and all-states 5th Graders

WOW! I never realized this deal included 5th-grade out of staters. I called SkiNH just to verify. I've only got one 5th grader left / I'll have to find more.... Looks like I'm game...

Deals -NH Ski Free for 4th Graders in NH & 5th Graders from All States ski free!
SKI NH - 4TH AND 5TH GRADE PROGRAMS
"2006/07 Earn Your Turns & Snowsports Passport"

My "Cheap Alarm" is sounding loud and furious over this one. This is an awesome deal for 5th graders from any state.

In The 4th grade program, the kids complete a small project on ski history under the guidance of the teacher and submit it. The 5th graders do no work, just pay $20.

In return the kid gets a coupon book good for 1 to 3 free lift tickets per area. It's not just a few areas, it is prettymuch all areas.

Blackout dates are suprisingly minimal. Additionally there are lots of amazing discounts for accompanying grown-up kids including % off lessons and 2 for 1 adult tix.

Signup in advance.
http://skinh.com/kids.cfm

Examples:
Cannon - 2 free tix for the child AND $10 off adult ticket.
Waterville - 1 free tix, 1 free learn to ski package for child or adult.
Wildcat - 3 free tix for the child
Sunapee - 2 free tix for the child
Attitash - 1 free tix for the child
Crotched - 3 free tix for the child, AND one free adult ticket with the purchase of an adult.

Take your kidz, take your grandkidz. Skiing on the cheap for sure!

Thanks for the SkiNH stuff!

Okay, you all will probably shoot me for posting this since it's probably only of interest to parents, but just in case there's anyone else here who has kids, I'll post it anyway.

Cannon has made the learning chair (Brookside) free this year, so if you want to start your little ones at Cannon, you no longer have to buy a Brookside ticket, which used to be ridiculously expensive for what it was. That's great for people who prefer the western Whites, as part of Bretton Woods' free learning terrain is so flat that a 25-pound toddler often winds up slowing down to a stop.

Bretton Woods is still doing the Sunday Special for northern NH residents. Only change is that they now go on sale at 12:00 instead of 12:30.

On the other side of the Whites, King Pine is doing family night skiing for $42 for a family of four, 4PM - 9PM. An optional race is included on Saturday nights. Yes, I know it's only 350' of vertical. That's why I warned you this was a family post. :lol:

Too bad! No apologies necessary and thanks for the tips. We all get old and we were all kids once. Many of us eventually have kids. Families badly need the discounts worse than singles. Imagine the cost of a weekend for 5 at Stowe; That's why we go to Bolton now for less than half the price (with discount tickets)!
Besides, getting more kids on the slope will pay for my senior citizens pass subsidy years from now (as long as they don't keep jacking the age up, 70, 75...)

Yea, I just found out about it twards the end of last year when my son was in 5th grade, to bad for me. Hopefully it will still be around in about a year when my son enters 4th grade, which they also have a program for.
