Arent there usually really solid deals on lift tickets for Superbowl Sunday? In the words of Shania Twain, that Mt. Snow discount dont impress me much.

I think this may be the 1st year I ski on Superbowl Sunday, as I imagine the combination of Giants/Patriots seems like the "perfect storm" for keeping north-easterners off the slopes.

Likely only applicable to PA, NJ, and southern NY skiers and riders......Tickets at Sno Mountain are only $10.00 for the rest of the season on Tuesdays.
I drove by the place for years. If you've never been it's definitely worth checking out for $10.00. No crowds and great snow making.

Mountain Passport

I have 4 lift passes to various resorts for sale or trade. I will sell individually or together.

I got them from the Skullcandy Mountain Passport books. They are valid through the end of the 2012 season with no blackout dates.
I live in Utah so they aren't valuable to me. I will sell them for $20 each or trade them for a Utah resort ticket (Canyons or Sundance) if you have the Mountain Passport book.

You can see the passport book here for a list of local ski resorts. I haven't looked them all up, but I know there are some in the NE area.
http://www.mighty-clever.com/geiger-book/#/GeigerRig/2

Here's a text list of the resorts in the bookt:
Alpine Meadows, Angle Fire, Appalachian Ski Mtn, Big White, Bretton Woods, Brundage, Castle Mountain, Hockley Valley, Homewood Mountain, Hunter Mountain, Kicking Horse, Monarch Mountain, Norquary, Nashoba Valley, Rabbit Hill, Silver Star, Spirit Mountain, Trollhaugen, Wachusett Mountain, Waterville Valley Resort


PM me if interested.

True; very tempting to go on that day but we shall see what it shall bring before I shall make a decision. However, my previous plans of going to Sugarbush are out of the question for skiing that day.

Now through March 31, 2012:

Tempting offer; I've got Cranmore vouchers from Simon Mall so I can pair this up with skiing a day at BW.

Plattekill, Shawnee PA, Song, Toggenburg, $15 lift tickets

This is an incredible deal. It's run through my local FOX affiliate WICZ. I have two BOGOs for Platty, but this beats them by $9.25. I'd even consider skiing the other molehills for $15. I haven't been to Song since my Son was 5, sixteen or so years ago. Be aware the Platty deal expires 3/31/2012, they probably won't be open longer than that this year, if that. There is a "handling charge" of $3.75 per ticket, so $18.75 per ticket, still a great deal. I bought four, it's the maximum listed, don't know if they let you make multiple transactions. I think I'll try to sell my BOGOs at the hill when I go. I'd be happy to get $20 and ski for free. Actually make $1.25, professional skier, ambition achieved, scratch that one off the list.


They say good weekends only, then they say if used during the week, no refund will be given, I would think they could be used for a "Powder Daize", if there is such a thing this year.:cry:

P.S.
Platty is selling $15 lift tickets directly this weekend. Several other first 100, $15 deals. $3.75 is cheap insurance if I want to ski those days and don't make the cut off. I would be surprised if Platty were actually "crowded", even on their discount days.

Don't forget their pass holder's weekend, March 24,25. I plan on at least one of these free days. If it'd only snow, and gas were $2 a gallon, I'd be in heaven. About $40 round trip for me at current gas prices, sure to increase.

P.P.S
Watch your speed in Roxbury, trust me, you'll pay through the nose.
