Skiing on the Cheap - 2007-08 Thread

[salsgang]

Interesting, hadn't seen this site before:

http://www.skimaine.com/passbook/

1. The Ski Maine Quad Pack will contain 4 vouchers to each of Maine's larger resorts and 2 vouchers to each of Maine's community areas. (A maximum of 54 vouchers for only $550.) more >>

2. The Ski Maine Double Pack will contain 2 vouchers to each Ski Maine area. (A maximum of 38 vouchers for only $300.) more >>

3. The Ski Maine Solo Pack will contain 1 voucher to each Ski Maine area. (A maximum of 19 vouchers for only $165.) more >>

Quad Pack:
Ski Maine Quad Pack includes:
4 tickets each to:
Big Rock, Mars Hill
Black Mt, Rumford
Lost Valley, Auburn
Mt Abram, Greenwood
Saddleback, Rangeley
Shawnee Peak, Bridgton
Sunday River, Bethel
Sugarloaf/USA, Carrabassett Valley

2 tickets each to:
Baker Mountain, Moscow
Camden Snow Bowl, Camden
Eaton Mt, Skowhegan
Hermon Mt, Herman
Lonesome Pine Trails, Fort Kent
Mt. Jefferson, Lee
Quoggy Jo, Presque Isle
Spruce Mountain, Jay
Titcomb Mt, Farmington
Oxford Plains Tubing Park, Oxford
Seacoast Snow Park, Windham

I just ordered the Quad book today. This is a good deal for those that like to ski different mountains all winter. No blackout dates... Can be used as the adult purchase requirements with the Winterkids passport... The tickets are transferable but cannot be torn out of the book except by the mountain ticket agent. I figure with this and the winterkids program, if we get out 12 times this year we will save 50% off retail.

They only print 200 books so if you want one you should get one pretty quickly.

Thanks for da goodz!! We hit 2 years ago but not last year. We're in the running now!

Belleayre season passes are the cheapest anywhere every year. I doubt that'll last once Gitter's resort gets started.

vouchers to Sunday River

I found vouchers for single day lift tickets to Sunday River one ebay


They expire on January 18, 2008 and have blackout dates from 11/22-25/2007 and 12/25/2007 - 1/1/2008 or an Saturdays. Sunday through Friday only.


I wish I could use them but all the days I have off are blackout dates. I think these tickers are the ones they gave away at the red sox game.

email me at rcbfree@yahoo.com

You get them at the Sox game?... nice try but we all know you got em for free.

He did have to pay to go to the game however and if you want lift tix to SR early you probably won't find too much out there in the 25$ area........he's just doing the same thing countless ski bums used to do to support their ski habit. Don't hate.

Here's my issue. 25 bucks to someone I DON'T know who could have simply used a photocopier, and fudged with the actual numbers.

Bear in mind guys, these voucher numbers are tracked. And because of how they're printed, MUCH easier to fake then say, a holographic baseball ticket.

I see your point and it is valid, however, although it is easier to fake it would not be worth it. The value of a blacked out lift tix voucher is a hell of a lot lower than a sox ticket. Not to mention I don't think that there is a large enough demographic of skiers who would buy vouchers on the EC (whether it be off ebay, area lot, craigslist, etc) for someone to attempt to produce fakes, it would be too much work for such a small gain especially since you have the exorbitant amount of the vouchers from the sox that won't get used. You can't sell junk in a world full of gems.....bottomline, no one's gonna fake a voucher, the skiing world on the EC is just too small and the risk would outweigh the profit waaayyy too much and there's too many already out there from the sox game.


IMO, you guys are all over this guy for completely unfounded reasons. I've bought sooo many vouchers off ebay in past seasons, never, ever had a problem and I suspect anyone else who's bought 'em would give the same feedback.

I can see the worry about the fake vouchers, these are not fake and if you were to pay by paypal you would have recourse.

Also they are the ones i got for free, I did have to run all over fenway in the crowds like a salmon swimming up stream to get as many as i can get.

Yes i am making money, and you are saving money. WIN WIN.

I would be using most of them but my wife and I are expecting our son to be born on DEC 16th, So that is limiting my early season Ski travel.

Either I sell them for $25 now or I sell them for more in the lot

Remember WIN WIN!!!!!!!


GO Red SOX!!!!

I'm just not comfortable with this. It just seems wrong. I know this was to be expected. The sport is costly does not change my opinion on this though.

I think your biggest problem is just that you are brand new to the board and the first post is to sell something. Hang around and chat for a while and people will trust you more. I'm sure you will be able to sell the vouchers either way.

Where is last season's list? It's useful as a reference to quickly dig up replays of great deals.
Where is last season's ski swap list?

It falls deep after Greg removes the sticky, but can be found here:

WHO got da goodz?

IIIIII got da goodz..

http://www.skitown.com/freetickets/ticketlist.cfm

Course not NEARLY as many ski areas on the list right now.

More ski areas have been added to the above contests. Just noticed.

 

[AdironRider]

If he wanted to sell vouchers hes in the wrong venue. Next time hes up at Sunday River, he should spend 30 minutes in front of the ticket window. Guaranteed those puppies are gone.

Don't forget that today (Monday, 10/15) is the last day to get the Mad Card at $119 for three tickets plus free passes for kids 12 and under. One of the best deals in NE skiing.

Edit: You can still get the card until December 15, but today is the last day of the free kids passes with the card.
