I like your numbers better than mine!

Pico on Superbowl Sunday would be $48 through Liftopia or $71 for a two day ticket (or if you're like me and don't want to drive and too cheap to rent a hotel you can pay $77 if you're from the Boston/Woburn area to get a ride and tix to KMart from BSSC which is their usual member price or $82 for nonmembers). I do see that Liftopia is sometimes more expensive than what you'd otherwise pay outright at the lift tix window so of course the name of the game is you gotta know your prices.

Though, I'll probably end up taking the SR deal I'm eyeing for Saturday unless something comes up soon.

There's always the hostel at Bush for cheapo. Don't know if there is hostels around Kmart. Must be, but I don't get down there.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know of any southern/central Vermont mountains that are accepting Ski Vermont vouchers on the Saturday of President's Day Weekend? The list of blackout dates of course is not published, and before I call resorts, I figured I would ask if anyone knew off the top of their head.

Fat chance. Actually Middlebury is the only one as far as I know. Generally you can kiss off Presidents weekend, and most of the week for discounts.

The blackout dates are on the back of every voucher.

FYI, here's a sneaky tip about groupon. If you sign up using another email address and use the referral link from your first acct, you can get the $10 referral bonus. On top of that if you go thru discover cards website if you have a card, you can get 15% off your groupon purchase. And if you run out of email addresses you can just put a period in the middle of your gmail name (may work for other mail clients, not sure tho) and it will look like a new email, but in reality it's your original email. For example alpinezone@gmail.com could be alpine.zone@gmail.com and would look like new email addy....

Has anyone used any of the offers in these brochures/ I picked a bunch up on Thanksgiviving wknd when I was at the Long Trail Brewery. Heading to Smugglers Notch next Sat looking to use the 2 for 1 in the brochure. Blackout days are listed but don't apply for next wknd.
What is a bit odd though is it says to send a text message to a number with the code NEW15 or something.
I did that but all I got back was a link to "check out smugglers notch season passes"

There is a coupon code on the coupon which I imagine is for the ticket window to input so they can track internally.
Hoping it all works out but just wondering if anyone else has used these?

Thanks
