There is a rumor that The Bush is considering an April Fool's surprise.
What price would motivate you to take the day off and bring all of your friends up to ski or ride on a spring weekday in April?

You'd certainly want to be price competitive with WV; therefore, $1!! How about a fixed price per carload?

Even Mount Greylock Ski Club has one.

Cardboard Box Race and Pond Skim big sucess

The weather was not perfect, it was COLD, a chilly 10 degrees with the wind chill but the competition was not affraid of some mid-winter conditions. There was about 15 entries for the Box Race, there was anything from a flat sheet of cardboard (which took home the trophy for fastest sled) to a box covered in ballons named "Bubble Trouble" that took home the trophy for the "Best Box", people from the age of 3 years to 50 years competed for the top honor of Fastest Box, Best Costume/Theme and Best Carnage. The Pond Skim had around 10 entries, from the age of 5 to 35, the theme was "Wet n' Wild". People dressed in anything from wet suits to just shorts, the winner was a local volunteer who made it across 4 times w/out falling. It ended up drawing a croud of 150+, pretty good turn out for our little tow, we made almost $1000 to go towards our T-Bar Fund, which is scheduled to go up this summer. We are that much closer to the grand total, but still have much more fundraising ahead, hopefully some of those new faces will be back soon to get in a few turns!

Conditions both today and yest. were absolutly perfect, it was hard enough to get plently of speed to launch it and pull some tricks and also get in some smooth turns. It changed over to corn around 1pm and stayed that until closing today, the sun was shining bright and the skies were blue, BlueBird Day!

Just curious, are you still looking to buy that T-bar from Bradford (my local hill here in MA)? Via Google I came across a reference to this in this 2005 article.

 

[ckofer]

Crotched is $19 next Sunday.

 

[NortheastSlopesest.1936]

We already purchased a T-Bar and it has been refurbished, ready to put up this summer!

It's rare to find a ski/stay package that caters to singles as most of them are priced assuming double occupancy, but here's an exception that looks hard to beat.

Late season mid-week @ Whiteface: Bed, breakfast and a lift ticket @ the Green Mountain Lodge in Wilmington, NY for $89 for one person and $156 for two people, taxes included. The place seems to have a legit and decent review on tripadvisor.com, and barring a "stay away" from somebody on this forum I'll probably try it tomorrow night.

Look at their deals page for more packages and details.
