Wachusett End of the season pass

Got a text alert from Wachusett for March 1 to the end of the season pass for $109.

Debating if I should go for it. I feel like this season may be shorter than last years.

They usually go to the end of March. If you go three or more times it's probably worth it.

Ski cheap or stay home!

Hey Billski, I just want to share my discount stories for the VT Travel Club card. Here's my latest: I was at the ticket window of Mt Snow on Wed at 8:45am. The group sales office was closed at Sundance due to the workers being unable to make it in on time. While waiting, a guy from CT had the CSC (CT ski council) card, and said he was only paying $39 with this card and his senior discount. I responde, that is a GREAT deal with that CSC card! I was expecting to pay $42 myself, which is still good. However, he paid $45, and I only paid $34!!!

So, for those of you who ski Mt Snow a LOT, the VT Travel club card, offered by classic ski tours is the best deal at Mt Snow! The card is only $39 and you get discounts at many VT resorts. This card is just one more option I use to ski cheaply.

Great deal at Jay:

"BROKEDOWN PALACE
"Help us bid adieu to the much loved but somewhat brokedown Hotel Jay. She’s served us well over the years but seriously, it’s time. Demolition begins April 19th but in her final few days we’ll be offering rates from $59pp/pn – that includes lodging, lift tickets AND meals (breakfast & dinner). Entertain me with a poem/song/haiku/ode and you might just win yourself a free night in the Hotel Jay. Check out all the details here."
