These didn't take much time at all. Cherry-picking things that resorts regularly offer year after year about this time.

Potential for great SugarLoaf deal

This could be the deal of the year. There is presently a Rhode Island charity auctioning off a 5 night stay at Sugarloaf. The current bid is less then the value of the lift ticket.

Radio station WOON 1240 AM is conducting the auction on the behalf of the "Milk Fund" charity which provides food to it's area's needy families. The auction for this item will conclude on Wednesday morning. The station has an live internet feed every week day morning from 8o am to 9:00 am through which you can get updates on the latest bids and also phone in bids.

At this point, you won't find any real deals (by my definition) until after the holiday period. They get so much business during this period they don't need to/want to discount. This is when the resorts make all their money. The only "deals" will be packages, but I don't follow that stuff.

Lets assume that the definition would be subject to a loose interpretation during holiday periods:dunce:

The way I see it, considering the other half doesn't ski, its cheaper finding lifts/rooms separately. And purchasing lift ticket in advance/off-site

I'm more than happy to be proven wrong on this one. Show me the deals!

Cannon

Past years Cannon has given $10 discounts to passholders of other mountains but they didn't advertise it. Does anyone know if they're doing it again this year?
