This is an incredible deal. It's run through my local FOX affiliate WICZ.

Thanks for posting this!

How did you find that, as it clearly hasnt been advertised well? It says its "been available" since November 22, yet Shawnee had 200/200 tickets available and Platty had 168/200 available, but if people knew about this they would have both sold out quickly. I bought 2 tickets to each mountain.

I first found out about it when I went to the Cliff House in Vestal, NY to pick up my Elk Winterfest ticket. The owner told me about it, I already had two BOGOs, so I didn't think much of it. Just the other day, a coworker who knows I'm an avid skier emailed me the link. I think they advertise on the local AM radio stations also. I would be happy to get anything for my BOGOs, twenty bucks seems reasonable, I got them free. It would save someone buying two lift tickets at the window $36.....and make me a professional skier.

I think they may do this every year. They also sponsor cheap golf green's fees at area courses. You buy a card, "The Clubhouse Card", that lets you golf at several different places. A few other nice perks go along with the card.

Here's that link for any golfers in the area, sounds like a great deal. I gave up golf, too frustrating. With skiing at least I feel like I get better the more I do it. Conklin Player's Club, is an outstanding golf course, I played it when it was new, I'm sure it's even better now. Chenango Valley State Park, while not on the list, is another gem in the Southern Tier.

Do you ski/board the terrain park at Shawnee? I've only been there once. A friend of mine was staying there and asked me to meet him there to ski. I was skiing Taos on Tuesday, Shawnee Mountain on Thursday, what a contrast, had a great time at both. I never saw such an amazing terrain park as at Shawnee, especially for such a molehill. I remember a trail that was all jumps, and plenty of them. I don't ski them, but if I did, it looked like it would be fun.

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.

Ooops, this was only good Wed-Fri. Sorry, Customer Appreciation Days.

ski for a buck - Okemo

Monday Morning Quarterback
Anyone in the mood for cheap ski passes? Ski or ride for $1 per point on Monday, February 6, 2012! Here is how it works: the lift ticket rate on this Monday only will be equal to the combined score of the two teams in the Big Game. (ex. Team A scores 17, Team B scores 14 - so a lift ticket is just $31!) Attention trivia buffs: the lowest combined score was 21 in 1973! (Ticket price not to exceed $59.)
