Thank you so much! I just got mine the other day! This is awesone! They mailed it to me for fee.

Coupons for $20 off Hunter, 2 for 1 at Jay Peak, Sugarbush and Smugglers Notch, free child ticket with purchase of an Adult at Whiteface and other great ski discounts! It is totally worth getting it!

Black Mt. NH SATURDAY DEC 12 $10

Ten bucks all day at Black. Yesterday's opening day turned out to be a non-starter as they opted to groom the trails more instead of turning chairs. So, they extended the $10 rate to the following day.
BTW, Black was technically open yesterday - the platter pull was running.

- OOPS, FIX ME - DECEMBER 19TH

WhiteFace Mt Deals

I am new to this site and was reading these posts. I was just skiing Whiteface last week and stayed at Saranac Lake Inn! I could not believe the deal that the two brothers that owned the place gave me! I skied and stayed for two nights for what I would have paid triple anywhere else. The rooms were nice, it is right on the lake (which was frozen and I could use free snowshoes) and was 20min from the mountain.
I don't know how they do it but take advantage. I also booked a weekend for 2 nights stay and skiing for Jan 22-23 for $159 pp!
I usually don't really promote this stuff but what a deal....Check it out

I see you're new from your other thread also promoting the Inn, and that you're only posts have to do with this.
Welcome to the group - Tell us about the conditions at Whiteface last week. What trails were you on? Were you able to shred on the 3/4 pipe?

Skiing on the cheap...a little further south...

Hi everyone,

I just moved from NH to VA and was curious if any of you know about a similar forum and/or thread of discounts for the midatlantic region. Thanks in advance!

Can't beat the price (free, not even a s/h charge), and I like the fact that I asked for four and they sent me 10 ... but fyi all the deals do have holiday blackouts and I'm pretty sure all but the Jay 2-for-1 are otherwise midweek only. But if you can do non-holiday midweeks, some great deals - I'll definitely look for an opportunity to use the 2-for-1 at the Bush.

Meanwhile, a novel approach to yield management showed up in my Twitter feed a little while ago:

BoltonValley Self-Retweet @BoltonValley: Secret Twitter Deal -- Ski or ride from 12pm to 8pm today for just $39 ... http://cli.gs/Vgj5Dq
(the link opens a PDF with the voucher)

Yes it's very short notice and no it's not a very nice day but I believe it has stopped raining up there so this could work out well for spring-like skiing for someone already in the area. This amounts to $15 off.

Mid Atlantic Deals

You might try dcski.com -- they've got a pretty big forum about mid-atlantic discounts

Hi everyone,

My Descente Passport jacket arrived the other day. That's the one that comes with a bunch of free lift tickets. Areas are listed here...

http://www.descente.com/product/271018/D0-8358/_/Course_Jacket

I paid $219 from a shop in Minnesota called Joe's Sporting Goods. They should have another sale coming in November. There are a few other places that also have the jackets at discounted prices. The large is running a little larger this year, at 5' 10" and a fit 170, I probably could use a medium. Last year the large was perfect. Anyway, I'll just go over the Northeastern coupons and if anybody has any question on others, just ask.

What a deal! Picked my coat up on sale for $220. Have used it at Jay Peak, Bretton Woods, Wachussets, Copper, Winter Park, A-Basin, and Angel Fire. It's already paid itself off and it's only December.

Pretty cool deal. You can pay for the jacket in lift ticket savings. If you planned on traveling to some of the locations out west and planned on hitting the bigger resorts listed for the east, it would probably be worth while to buy a new jacket just for the tickets alone even if you didn't need a jacket. Capitalism at its finest. :-D:blink:

Nice site, by the way. Discounts for New England areas are very nicely organized:
http://www.thesnowjunkies.com/lift-ticket-deal-calendar/new-england/

I would only recommend perhaps using the Calendar for unique deals and having a "Week Calendar" that shows the reoccurring deals that happen every week at most mountains with the usual holiday restrictions. You got it all together, and you have each mountain all together, but I don't see it broken down by day of the week. That would help separate out the usual weekly deals from the special one time deals. At least that is how I would prefer to see it broken out. Regardless, great consolidation of info!!!

2-for-1 Mt Snow, Crotched, Attitash, JFBB

Stopped for gas this morning at a BP in Watertown. There was a sign for ski coupons with a fill-up. Guy gave me 3...nice guy! It's good for 2for1 on Sundays at Mt Snow, Attitash, Crotched, JFBB or $10 off a lift ticket or $10 of lift, lesson, rental pkg. There are some BO days but nothing unusual.

Not sure it's at all BPs, but something to watch for.

Just noticed the coupon says "No purchase required"

Glad to hear somebody else is getting good use out of the jacket. So far I used Hunter, Bretton, Sunday River, Jay and Wachusset, all during Christmas week. No problems redeeming any. Next up is Bear Mountain California on my "warm weather" vacation.

Liftopia alerts work great! I don't have to proactively troll for deals. Love it!

Indeed, last minute to Mount Abram was easy and saved us some $$. I've been impressed with many of the deals I've seen.
