Ski Cannon 2 tickets for $60 Superbowl Sunday and then go watch the Pats beat the Giants. Sounds like a great day. :wink:

Just got a free lift ticket to MRG in the mail from skitown.com. Don't remember entering anything but what the hey. If anyone can use it let me know. I doub't I'll be able to use it with 2 boarders in the family.

We have have scored twice form Skitown.com this year. One for Wisp MD, which we used last week. One for Snowshoe WV that just came in the mail Tuesday. I enter for 1/2 dozen resorts every week.

I dont know them exactly when I get around to it i'll call (1 800 314 1752). Its really a good deal. I've done grafton county a few times this year so I know thats a fact.

In my poking for deals, I see these arrangements quite frequently. I am sure it is meant to keep peace with the locals. Your best bet is to call the mountain of interest and inquire. While I've seen a few of them on the web, usually it's not highly publicized so you'll have to do some digging. I have kept them off of my postings because the audience is so limited. No, I've not seen one for BW, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

 

[ckofer]

Maybe it's just as well to keep them off the web for some the local stuff.

I think there is a lot of harvesting from this thread being done by lurkers. C'mon, 13,762 views?
I notice many all of the "deals" articles I see in print seem to have timing very close to the publication here. If I didn't love my sport enough to want to see it thrive, I might be inclined to have my own little "stash" of deals.

Stowe: little deal

OMG. I can't believe I found a Stowe deal for the day-tripper. Don't get too excited. It's a little deal for little money. It only works on President's Day blackout - Feb 16-24. You can save five bucks off a ticket, by purchasing a lift ticket voucher via the web (and mailed to you). Here's the deal. An adult voucher for purchase is $79 on the web. It has no blackout dates. Use it during the "Prime" period, where a ticket costs $84/day.
This also works for multi-day and for kid's tickets. I'll let you do the math on the rest. And, if you're a family, that could add up for enough savings to buy a Cheesburger at the base

I can't believe I'm getting excited about a 79$ ticket during President's week. (I'm still skiing somewhere else that week..)

This is not unlike getting excited about gas at less than three bucks a gallon.

Whaleback is hosting another night of FREE skiing and riding February 1st from 6-9PM. Everyone, unless a season pass holder, has to check in at the base lodge to pick up a ticket after signing a waiver. We look forward to seeing you all out to enjoy some fantastic conditions at the Whale.

Yes, the lift is fixed

I'll take the gas. Gas under $3 a gallon these days certainly tickles my pickle more than saving five bucks on a lift ticekt :lol:

I'll be driving home from Smuggs to my home in NH Fri evening. If the family doesn't hate me for stopping, I'm grabbing a couple runs just to see what it's about. And, of course, post trail reports from two places on the same day.

I was just in the REI in Reading, MA at lunch.

There was a sign up by the ski boots that said members of the co-op could purchase discounted tickets at REI.

The one off the top of my head that I remember was SR, SL and Loon for $60. I know that Cranmore was on the list as well. I do not remember what else was listed... but worth checking out if you're an REI member.
