No idea if this LLBean sale is worth it, but here are their winter items. Some Giro helmets

Anyone know of any Jay Peak discounts for Saturdays this year? I'll probably be there next weekend (either that or Mont Sutton), and I havent seen any sort of BOGO etc...
I may have to use Liftopia in concert with a $5 liftopia gift card for $59, but given I consider myself a lift ticket Ninja, that's pretty poor performance for me.

My observations are that Jay has cut back on the discounting. They used to do a lot, especially via their 242 email newsletter. Haven't really seen big discounts. Might be a combo of the fact that they reduced lift ticket rates and also that bookings are probably up. It won't help you this year, but the Ski & Ride Card has had 4 BOGO coupons the last few seasons. Card only costs like $30 and includes a free ticket, good thing to look into next year if you are planning a non-black out Jay trip. I think Liftopia might be the best option.

Seems that way. They removed Saturday from the SkiRideFree program (as did Smuggs), and additionally I havent seen any BOGO coupons floating around (just $10 off coupons). There are plenty of waterpark BOGOs though (not that I care about that).
Sounds like a good deal, will have to remember that one.
I hope not, I pride myself on my miserly ways.

Well Benedict, you miserly days are over this year! Take it from someone who knows a little (ahem!) about deals.
For next year think about joining a club. Our ski council has been offering an incredible 3-5 day December package trip to JP each year. If you ski five days (at off season pricing) you get a season's pass. The 3-day package gets you a lesser package, I don't recall what. Also think about buying ahead vouchers in the summertime from a club.
Now that they are moving with their rfid card, I expect you'll see more and more incentives to use the card. Right now, it's a paltry $5 off a reload, which Stowe's card is $20 if I remember my numbers correctly.
I think he's right. Liftopia may be your best bet right now.

Never underestimate my powers of cheapassed'ness.
Did some digging and pulled the trigger on a few "black market" Descente passports with unused unrestricted Jay tickets for about $120. Books still have unused Gore, Hunter, and Whiteface tickets too. Dunno if I'll get to Hunter or not, but I'll be hitting Whiteface/Gore again for sure. So even if I dont use the Hunters, that's 6 lift tickets at an avg of $20 each.

Hey I don't know if I'm allowed to post about this here but I came across this site from google. I'm trying to get rid of two mountain creek triple play passes due to injury. There's two lift tickets on each card. Please message me if you're interested. If it isn't ok to post this here can someone please tell me where I might be able to? Thanks

Advice just ask anyone in a new fourm thread in skiing section if they want a MC ticket to PM you then privately let them know what your asking for.
Thanks so much I didn't know if I was allowed to do that

That's the worst forum posting advice I've ever seen. What if everyone took that advice?
The entire main ski board would be 1000 threads each with someone wanting to sell off a few lift tickets.

Well no selling so I figured he should just put it out their with out asking for money but they didn't listen to that part, sorry.
