Just got this email from Jiminy:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Play Hooky on Thursday and Hit the Slopes!

[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]They say a picture is worth a thousand words and that certainly rings true with this photo! Our snowmaking system has been firing on all cylinders this week and we’ll open for full time, daily, operations Thursday at 9 am with the best base we have ever opened with in Jiminy’s 59 year history (3 – 5 feet)! We felt it was a reason to celebrate so on Thursday, December 6th only all lift tickets will be just $20! Just think of it as our holiday gift to you. We’ll have 12 trails and 3 lifts in operation from 9 am – 10 pm on Thursday on a machine groomed packed power surface. We’ll expand the trail count to 19 trails by the weekend. Watch out tomorrow for the weekend outlook. Thursday is going to be a phenomenal day and you won't want to miss it! See you on the slopes!

Youth pay thier age day Mt Snow

Sunday 12/16 is "youth pay thier age day" at Mt. Snow. If you're under 18, you pay as many dollars as you are years old on that day. There's a couple other dates set aside for this promotion this year as well but I'm not sure when they are just now.

Keep in mind that kids 4 and under are FREE every day (for the lift ticket, anyway).

Posted this in another thread earlier today. Maybe it's better here:

Just saw this unbeatable deal on snowjournal.com: $99 for one midweek night @ the Hampton Inn in Littleton NH plus two lift tickets to Jay, Burke, Cannon or Bretton Woods. The catch -- the deal expires 12/25 so that pretty much leaves us this week to take advantage. But with this storm due, it could be a great excuse to play hooky.

I stay at a great ski house that is only $20 a night OR $370 per year. Its is the Wedeln Ski and Outdoor Club and is run as a not-for-profit. The house is in the North Conway area between Cranmore and Attitash. Memebrs are mostly single, 21+ and from the Boston area. We have skiers, snowboarder, winter hikers and ice climbers. All fees go back into care/expenses for the house. Contact me or check out ww.wedeln.com

From Mohawk Mountain's website:

Dec 22nd Free Learn to Ski/Board Packages offered AM only!

Might be good for someone who will be introducing a child or friend to the sport (or wanting to try snowboarding instead of skiing/vice-versa).

ETA: more details:

In honor of the first day of winter, for the first 45 minutes on December 22, learn to ski and board packages will be free. This includes a beginner lift ticket, rental equipment and an hour and half lesson at 9:30am. A $62 dollar value for Free. Mountain opens at 8:30am.

Kind of a random one but you can get a free midweek (non-holiday) lift ticket to Mt Sunapee if you spend $100 or more at any participating Napa Auto Parts stores.
As far as who is participating, I called my local store (Portsmouth NH) and they didnt know anything about it but suggested I call Seabrook who is serviced out of their Boston warehouse.
Called Seabrook, they knew a little about it.....I needed new ball joints for my truck anyway so I spent $70 and the guy hooked me up.

I heard the radio ad for this on WEEI Sports 850 last week. I think the qty's that they have are limited but if your in the Greater Boston area and need $100 worth of stuff from Napa, you may want to call a couple stores in your area to see if they have heard of it.

I just received my NE Ski and Ride Card in the mail....ordered online on Monday night, received yesterday. Beyond what you read about on the website for the 2 for 1 deals, discount tickets/lodging, I also received:

-1 Ticket to Black Mtn (Mon-Fri, no holidays)

-1 Ticket to Tenney Mtn (no blackout days, anytime use this season)

-1 anytime use ticket to Ragged Mtn

For $29 to get 3 lift tickets plus everything extra is just a phenomenal deal.
Price goes up to $49 tomorrow I think.

FYI!

They've extended the 29$ price thru the holidays!
