Skiing on the Cheap - 2012-13 Edition

[billski]

too bad there isn't a feature in the forum software that allowed for us to organize the content better. the ski swap thread is a good example but it is manually done. people contribute content but tcharron edits the first doc to include the updated info. lots of work for tcharron (and it is appreciated) but easy for the rest of the community to drop in and see what's going on.

do it!

I don't have an issue with the way this thread works. Many of the deals are short term, so I generally browse the new posts every day or two.

Some forum software support a wiki style post following the original post. Slickdeals uses this feature.

No 1500 is almost nothing. 15,000 would be a big number.

Given there are 2 for 1 coupons on EBAY for tons of mountains in North America, can we assume you're the seller? lol

Jay just announced that anyone who drives in with a Thule Rack or "Thule Equipment" (not a sticker), and anyone in their vehicle, get $40 tickets on select Tuesdays.

They will have an apres party, complete with a raffle for Thule gear, at 3pm in the Tower Bar.

Plattekill tickets for next weekend December 15 $18 and 2 day's tickets through liftopia.com but they still have not made snow yet, so I don't think much will be open. Across some lake effect could open the whole hill up.
