Skiing on the Cheap - 2006-07

[billski]

followup

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.

I got a curious followup email from skinh today, which indicates that out of state 4th graders can signup for the 4th grade program, but SkiNH is just not allowed to promote it out of state. Technicalities.
The other diff is that 4th graders only get one ticket per resort, which 5th graders get the whole package shown on the web.

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

Hypothetically, if we were to offer a similar promo this year, it would probably be slightly different and we might consider announcing it on Monday the 11th.

WorkingAdvantage.com

I did not find this deal being mentioned on this thread, but if it was, please pardon me.

I your company participates in WorkingAdvantage.com then you can buy ski tickets for a discounted price: http://www.workingadvantage.com/products/subcategory.cfm?categoryID=8&subcatID=364

For example discounted any day adult ticket for Whiteface is 44.95, which is a better deal then getting their Snow Sampler for ~$51 (199+5delivery) / 4. By the way tommorow is the last day to Buy SnowSampler.

Thanks for your post. I thought I heard on the boobtube or maybe WDEV on the radio an ad for this but went to the website, saw nothing so I assumed I had misheard it. Assuming temps go as predicted and you can start making snow this weekend, any idea as to how much terrain will be open next week?

We've got 3 lifts and 6 trails open right now and are hopeful that we'll be able to get an additional lift operating with a few days of snowmaking weather. Cooperative weather would be a big help, and some natural snow would be really nice, too--the weather for the past couple of days hasn't been particularly helpful for opening more terrain, although it has made being outside and on the snow a rather pleasant experience.

SkiBarn rental deals

When one rents ski for a season @ SkiBarn, you get an envelope with some valuable coupons, like:

- free Hunter BigLift card (sold for $49 overwise)
- free Belleayre Card (sold for $89), with first ticket free
- valuable Mt Peter coupon

as well as multiple free Youth tickets to Mountain Creek, Stratton, etc.

For me Belleayre Card was was a very good deal, provided that season ski rental for my son was around $100

My brothers and I just opened a Ski Lodge in Windham, NY about 2.5 hours north of New York City. We are offering great Ski and Stay packages this season to help get our business off the ground. We also have a shuttle bus that will drive you from Manhattan and take you straight to the Lodge provided we have at least 4 guests on the shuttle. Give us a call or post here if you have any questions.

We are currently anticipating summit-to-lodge skiing as of tomorrow (Thursday, 21 December)--the ops crews are hard at work smoothing out the snow piles on Sherman's Pass as we speak, so we should be able to make turns on it starting tomorrow.
