nuttin from nuttin...

any Killington deals out there? they seem few and far between with the new ownership. Last year I could get some greate deals on tickets from craigslist.

Ain't seen nuttin' and I've been lookin'. Word on the street is that they are doing no discs and are not in the bulk tix sales either - probably new mgt. hasn't had time to sort out their plan.

Utah deal

This sounds good if you want to head to Snowbasin or Powder Mountain. Ogden Marriott ski and stay package. $189/night includes room, 2 breakfasts, 2 lift tickets, 2 passes for ski bus, and 2 pair of goggles. Since the tickets alone are $51 apiece at Canyon Sports, this is a good deal.

I've found nothing but a Vermont residents' special and a modest discount for purchasing a block of tickets for consecutive days. I suppose this is going to be come an elite mountain.

$35 bucks is awesome. I'm going to have to see if I can take a day off and head up for that.

Not sure on the specificas, but a radio ad I heard this morning was advertising 2 free tickets to Okemo if you got new tires or something. All I caught was the numer 1-800-Tire-Pro

Don't see anything obvious on the web site, may want to call to verify.

Just got this from the Jay Peak Snow Report:

Note it's for 1 night lodging, 2 days skiing. Not a bad deal for Ski all day, sleep, checkout, ski all next day. Not sure if kids ski and stay free with this particular offer, I wouldn't imagine so, but could be wrong.

It says for a two night stay right at the bottom.
