Skiing on the Cheap - 2007-08 Thread

[jtothewang]

WINdham + hunTER spells WINTER!

Finally, Hunter and Windham team up and create a great 4-day ski pass.

http://www.windhammountain.com/news/mountain_news/722

2-days at Hunter and 2-days at Windham for $119.

I think this is definitely a move in the right direction for these two resorts.

Hey Greg, any updates on if there will be an AlpineZone discounts page again this year?

 

[57stevey]

I saw this link on Wildcats site. http://www.liftopia.com/
They have some cheap tix. Gunstock $7, Wildcat $23. If you buy the tix though and can't make it you eat the tickets.

Thanks Mildcat! I sat out all last season with a shoulder injury, so this will be a great way to get back in the game.

I got this last year with a phone call to Pricechopper corporate office. It's a drag that Pico is no longer on their Family Mountain list.

Actually, on that note, anyone who bought one last year should read this:

Tenney Mountain www.tenneymtn.com • 603-536-4125
Important Notice: Tenney Mountain has closed for the 2006/2007 season. SAVE your free voucher from RSNE! Tenney will honor the free lift tickets for the 2007/2008 ski season. Visit their Website for more info.

When Tenney reopens this year, they will honor the free tickets from last year from that program apperently.

I picked up two of the Ride and Ski passes myself (one for me, one for my wife)... couldn't beat spending $58 and getting 4 free lift tickets (it included one Black mountain with each, so that means we can both ski Black, and then we got Pat's Peak with the other two, since we've not ski'd there and have wanted to since it's pretty close). Seemed like a fantastic deal (the BOGO to Crotched is very appealing!)

I also picked one of these up, the $29 basically paying for itself with the Black ticket and the one I chose to Magic

Also got a good Wildcat deal with their mini-season pass, 3 days or the price of 2 (no blackouts) and a mid-week if you bought at the Boston show for $118.

So I felt pretty good in all, 6 days skiing for just under $150. Not a bad way to start.
