Is this out in Print yet? I'm still trying to get that Pico 2-for-1 link to work
(by clicking on it weekly, and hoping its live)

Oh, I just saw that Pico 2-for-1 midweek was added to Ride and Ski card! So I only care about the link above if Sunday or Sat is included

It worked for me. Only good Mon-Fri though.

Anyone heard what the Sugarbush off-site ticket sales (typ. shops) sites will be this year? I know it's coming.

Saving Money over blackout periods @ magic & mrg

Think seriously about

Magic 3-pack. They are good anytime (including blackout periods) for way less money $125 before 12/4/11 - transferrable

Mad River Madcard 3pack - $144 until 12/15 - transferrable

for two hills that get a lot of love here - don't leave home without it!

There is also a slightly more expensive MRG Card that gets kids in free as well. Can't remember the age cutoff, I think the price is around $179 or so.

BTW - all NH vouchers have NO blackout days - another choice for the holidays. p.s, consider the smaller areas up north...

Anyone ever try this one? http://www.weusecoupons.com/upload/...770-price-chopper-ne-ski-any-3-pass-deal.html

I bought this last year, and got mine for this year. Not sure if there are any left though:

http://www.onondagaskiclub.org/memb...e-30-with-a-Ski-Vermont-35-Pass.html#00000052

Its from Ski Vermont. Can only use 1 voucher per mountain (so you have to go to different mountains), and there are blackout dates, but works out to $40/ticket for the pk at any of the VT mountains. Anyone else use these?

Several of us have used it, year after year. This is the first year it was publicized on the web. It's still snail mail though. I've made great use of it. Just wish it didn't have blackout dates. It's especially valuable for the high-rent-district resorts. Call first to be sure they have inventory left.

Actually already have my 5pk. Found it last year on some site, but I had to hunt this year for the application form. Definitely was nice to have for those high rent places.
