Killington towfer valid all season. Check your inbox. (If you're already on their mailing list, you should already have it in your inbox)

I know I whine about twofer being lame. But that's just me. Those of you who can take advantage of it. That's a pretty sweet deal.

You're welcome. And here it is again since its buried 3 or 4 pages back.

$3.19 gas sucks, but at least we can get free lift tickets out of it!

From January 23rd to 27th, seniors 55 years and over can ski for $25 a day at Mont SUTTON, upon presentation of an identity card showing the date of birth. In addition to engaging in an outdoor physical activity, these people will have the opportunity to combine business with pleasure by participating in a few activities throughout the week, and taking the opportunity to meet new people

Don't know if this has already been posted but it's National Safety Awareness Week at Killington [14th to 22nd January]. Buy a helmet and receive a lift ticket voucher for use any day from the 24th of January to the end of the 2012 season [no mention of black-out days].
Basically if you were planning on getting a helmet anyway [as most people are these days] then why not get one at Killington where you can get a free lift ticket to boot?!

(((Said in Dr. Evil voice))) Why ski this friday for $49, when you can ski Stratton for free Facebook Friday?

When I saw that on FB, I couldn't believe it. I was already planning on going, but now there is more incentive.

Same here; I went and really enjoyed myself. With the tough season with snow, it was a great way to kick off my season.

Anyone know if this is an ongoing thing or a one off? Bummed that I missed it!

Word was in the gondola from people who work there was that even employees were very surprised they were running such a thing; and no one knew until Wednesday night and no one has a clue if it'll run again.

I think from the queues they set up, they were expecting a larger crowd than what actually came. Particularly at Shooting Star (upper Sun Bowl side 6 pack), the lift has almost no one riding it when it runs midweek and they set up a decently sized queue there. Yet, it was ski on to a couple chair wait for the day.

Though, I do see they have $19.61 Wednesdays, $49 lift and rentals on Tuesdays, and a couple other specials here that require some planning ahead http://www.stratton.com/reservations/mg_429/Special_Mountain_Ticket_Offers.search

I apologize ahead of time if this has been covered before. I assume there's a search somewhere on this page, but I can't figure out this fancy interweb....

Is the Waterville Valley Tuesday deal legit? Will they actually be selling full-day adult tickets for 20 bucks after the Pat's held the Ravens to 20 points? Seems like a pretty good deal even if the conditions are less than ideal.
