Saddleback has a book of 10 $25 mid-week tickets, good any mid-week day (some blackouts). I have purchased one and will not use all of them. So, if anyone wants a $25 mid-week Saddleback ticket send me a PM.

I'm a long-time value pass holder myself. Three mountains (Okemo, Stratton, Sunapee) is a pretty good deal for $649 - especially now with no all for one pass around.

Welcome to Alpine Zone snowlady. What went up? I'm seeing Appreciation days as $39.00 and $25.00 for the food! You skiing on 11/25? Most seaon passes just increased and will increase next month also if that's what you are talking about...........................

this is the best ticket deal in skiing. easy to sell @ 35$ in the parking lot and ski for free. everyone wins.

edit-didn't these use to be good on weekends? forget trying to sell anything at saddleback on the midweek, not a lot of people.

Ski free on your birthday at Belleayre..they have make-up days for summer birthdays

This is available again: Powder Passport. The seven day card brings the price to $47 / day. No blackouts. Might be a good option for a Saturday or holiday skier.

Does anyone know if Jeep is going to do the owner appreciation days this year? I can't find the list. I wanted to do the Sugarbush and Wildcat days last winter but my Wrangler wasn't running. It's still not running but this would give me incentive to get off my lazy a$$ and fix it.

Don't see it on any of the ski areas events list. :-( I was looking forward to it as well.

Cranmore Mountain Celebrates 70th Birthday
Lift Ticket Price Roll-Back to $3.30

NORTH CONWAY, NH – Cranmore Mountain marks its 70th year of continuous operation this winter with a variety of fun events, celebrations and special lift ticket deals. Since 1938, skiers have glided down the slopes in North Conway’s hometown ski area. And while the original Skimobile lift has been replaced by a high-speed express quad chairlift, after all these years, Cranmore is still known for its distinctive terrain, sunny slopes and distinguished ski school.

Cranmore kicks off its Platinum year with a special anniversary lift ticket price on Friday, December 21, 2007, when the venerable resort will roll back the clocks and offer a full day ticket for only $3.30. That’s what skiers were paying back when World War II was looming and FDR was in the White House … and Cranmore first operated the Skimobile.

“There are very few ski areas that are so beloved that they have thrived for 70 years,” stated Cranmore GM, Ben Wilcox, “We are rolling back prices on December 21 to thank our long time customers for helping us reach this milestone while also inviting new skiers and riders to Cranmore who haven’t tried us before.”

The birthday deals don’t stop there -- skiers can save all winter long with online ticket specials that commemorate Cranmore’s hitting the big “Seven-Oh.” $70 will get you a Weekender lift ticket at Cranmore.com, valid for 20 hours of skiing; from 8:30a.m. Saturday through Saturday night at 9p.m., then all day Sunday ‘til 4p.m. Or grab a 2-fer Sunday Special, only $70 for two all day Sunday lift tickets when purchased online. Both ticket offers are good for any non-holiday period when purchased 2 days in advance.

Bring the family to Cranmore on Sunday, March 2, 2008 for the winter’s biggest birthday bash, Cranmore-style. Guests are invited to bring their best tribute to the famous Skimobile -- be it a drawing, sculpture, diorama or poem. Cranmore’s mascot, C-more the Penguin, will choose the best entry who will win a 2008-2009 Happy Trails Season Pass. Then join in the Birthday Cake Race – kids ages 6-12 are invited to ski or board down the mountain while trying not to let the candle on their cupcake go out.

Also on March 2, Cranmore will select the winner of its season-long “Find the Skimobile” GPS Contest. Pick up a Skimobile GPS Contest Worksheet at Cranmore’s Trailside Sports Shop, or download it online at Cranmore.com. The sheet will contain the GPS coordinates of original Skimobile cars that are located all around Mount Washington Valley. Guests are encouraged to find each of the Skimobiles, writing in its location on the worksheet. Turn in the worksheet on the 2nd and one lucky winner who correctly names all the locations will be selected to receive a free 08-09 Happy Trails Season Pass. Cranmore will be giving away a GPS each month all winter long to one person subscribed to their e-newsletter. To subscribe, go to www.cranmore.com and provide an e-mail address for a chance to win.

My bad. That was no where near the level of years past (number of venues) and I think there was some delay in getting it going so I just assumed it didn't happen. I stand corrected.

I was trying to lookup last year's Skiing on the Cheap thread but was unsuccessful. I remember there being a link to a website where you could enter for a weekly drawing of free lift tickets at a variety of resorts. Any one have that link?
Thanks
