I remembered seeing some advertisement about this a while ago (maybe end of last year) & sure enough...
Description states: "One day, any age lift ticket valid Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Limited quantity. Must purchase by January 6th."
http://www.stratton.com/reservations/mg_429/Special_Mountain_Ticket_Offers.search
You need to put 1/11/12 as the date in the 'vacation planner' on the side then hit search & you can order/buy the ticket.
Did not test the method yet because not sure I can go yet.

I would check out AMR which is located in City Market plaza right next to the gondola. The owner Dave Stillman is a cool guy and good prices. I think $30 or less a day for the full set up.

I'm getting pretty tired of these BOGOs. This is the year of the BOGO. Smart move for resorts - get two bodys on the slopes: 2x$10 burgers 2x$5 beer. Do it midweek when things are slow, even better. There's nothing to see here... move along now...

Just this year? I've had it for several years now.

Worst was Waterville. A whole book of 50+ FREE coupons, with ONE exception: Waterville! It's a BOGO. And the girl warn me she'll call the cops if I try to round up another body!!!

Well, at least Waterville deals are plentiful enough, even if it's a holiday (as matter of fact, that's what I'm potentially planning on for Sunday of MLK weekend provided that nothing else comes up on my schedule and conditions are half decent). Nacski added some Smugglers Notch trips for $60 and now they are offering a Methuen pickup instead of Woburn on a good amount of their trips which I prefer so I am not giving Taxachusetts $4 every time I have to ski just to park in their lot. Plus, the times were adjusted so they are early enough to catch first chair at Waterville and Loon. And now it gets to Stowe at 8:15 am for $71 (if you are amongst the first 25 to book); that puts a good smile on my face.

Now, regretting about purchasing my BSSC daily deal voucher but will still put it to good use and hopefully I'll make it to some of their other events they have going on.

Would go if I had a ride; and no buses are running over there that day from where I am .

Nice one thanks!!!

Speaking of Mount Snow, I know there are BP coupons this year (2 for 1 Sundays). Also good at Attitash/Wildcat. Haven't seen them at any BPs in NJ though. Anybody know where they are available?

This is about the 500th time Smuggs has run a coupon like this this season. IMO, they're being intelligent in doing so, almost like an airline hedging the price of oil. Except instead of oil price as the risk, the risk is that this craptucular warm weather without snow continues. Front load some guaranteed revenue at the possible expense of some later "lost" revenue.
