Skiing on the Cheap - 2009-10 Thread

[brcski]

I have 2 free passes to Black Mountain NH Sun-Fri and 2 free passes to Shawnee Peak Sun-Fri (Shawnee's closing next Sunday). If anyone wants them I will mail them to you. I was planning on using these passes this week but I won't be around.

Well, Rambo and gmcunni,

I'm making a quick trip from Virginia to visit family in the Berkshires next weekend and had thought of trying to squeeze in Magic on Saturday and Hunter en route back home on Sunday.

Thanks for your posts! You clinched my choices!

Elk Mtn. PA 3/22 to 3/27 = $25 lift tickets

Was looking at the ski conditions report on Elk's website today (Mon. 3/22/10) and noticed this:

"Comments: Spring Skiing Special, $25 lift tickets! Both terrain parks are closed, terrain features are on the West Slope! Tuesday is Senior Day! $20 lift tickets for seniors 65 & over! Wednesday is College Day! $20 lift tickets for college students with photo ID! Our Winter Garden Restaurant is closed, the bar area will remain open! Elk will remain open for day skiing & riding thru Saturday, March 27, weather permitting!"

So I called Elk's phone number and asked the woman if the $25. lift tickets were for Monday only and she said that the $25. lift tickets are for all this week and Saturday also!
