Maine Mountain Deals

If you are planning a Maine trip in 2011-12, here is a blog post I wrote for saving some coin at Maine ski mountains. Many of the deals mentioned are aimed at Maine residents but the post has a good collection of links to the different mountains and their deals.

Burke $42 w a few BO dates

Burke is up on Ruelala today. Ruelala is like Groupon and other group buying sites. I've used them before and they seem pretty reliable. They make you sign in to see the deals unfortunately. The Burke one is found under the local listings for Boston. It's not blacked out for xmas or MLK, just Feb 18-25.

The company I've relied on for transit and tixs last year (Nacski) said they will finally be posting their schedule in 72 hours.

In other news, I got the White Mountain Express schedule (bus that runs out of Haverhill and stops at a bar on the way back on Wednesdays; just some retired firefighters running it for fun more than profit); $80 now for bus and a 1 day ticket, which is a $5 increase vs last year. Many great laughs and is quite a lively trip even off the ski slope if you've haven't gone with them.

With no Wildcat special this year at the mall for a free comp ticket w/ every $250 in Amex GCs purchased (yes, I have used them up on gas, food, etc easily; stuff I would spend money on either way), it looks like I will have to restrategize when I want to do an overnight; but now I know of a few good hostels.
