That sandwich looks sooo good.

recreationconnection.com tons of deals on tickets.

Has anyone ever used these deals? I have been trying to find people who may have used it at Killington, but no luck so far.

When you go through the order process you pay Killington directly and pick up the card there. It doesn't say you have to present a membership card or anything, just mention recreation connection. Any comments?

How packed does it get on these days?

Pretty busy. Every college kid within hitchhiking distance shows up It will be tracked out by 9:20 ;-)
I generally avoid these days for that reason.
But, it's a deal.

Jay 2fer Saturday Jan 9th

Bring a copy of the 242 email newsletter, get 2 tix for the price of one.

I should have put this in this thread but started a new one... Sorry.
This seems like a great deal. If you break down the cost you basically pay for lodging and get free lift tickets or you pay for lift tickets and get free lodging at Bretton/ MT Washington. It's only available for a few hours.

The last couple times I went were no worse than a typical weekend.

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"

Say, thanks! They are available at the BP here in Salem NH as well. I don't see many Attitash deals so this is very cool.

Picked up about 20 of the coupons in Manchester, CT last night. Definitely will come in handy since I'll be hitting Attitash on Saturdy with about 15 people, and the $10 off deal is pretty good when coupled with discounted Thursday Bretton Woods tickets and the $9 Friday Wildcat deal. Pretty sweet extended weekend of skiing for about $115.

The coupon is also valid at Mount Snow, so I'll probably use the B1G1 Sunday deal there in a couple of weeks. I haven't been to Snow in many years, so this will be an excuse to get back.

Please check in with an Attitash TR. We don't get many of those, and it's been a good 15 years since I skied there last.

I don't think this has been mentioned yet, but Whiteface has some really good midweek packages. They are offering the 3rd night and 3rd ski ticket free when you book for 2 days and nights. Crowne Plaza right in the heart of Lake Placid, for 3 days and 3 nights comes to $198 per person. Pretty good deal in my books considering the 3 day ticket is regularly $210 without any lodging! $66 per day skiing and hotel is a really good deal in my books. Must arrive a Sunday or Monday night, and good until Feb 14th. Just figured I would mention it. I have no affiliation, just a deal I found and figured maybe someone else may be able to take advantage of it. Not sure what the Crowne Plaza is like, as I have read some very mixed reviews on Tripadvisor, but hey, it is a bed and skiing! Now, if they could just get some snow.
