Gunstock has $25 tickets up on Liftopia for their opening wknd (Dec 14-15) through the following wknd (Dec 21-22)
I'll almost definately be there one/both wknds if they get a decent amt of terrain open.

AZoner team?

If you want to organize it :)

HOnestly I would but this year like I said I have baby #2 coming on December 31st which is going to mega cramp my ski season.

I'll be at Wachusett quite a bit but further trips are going to be pretty rare this year. Although 2014/15 will be the year I start getting my son on the slopes :) :) :)

Two years ago we bought liftopia tickets and paid $25 and got to Gunstock to find then selling for $23. Same thing happened at Ragged that year. If you attend the ski show and get the liftopia gift card for $10 then it becomes a better deal.

Yes they are! The event at Jay Peak raised $22,000 for two years in a row while Cranmore was around $18,000. I know those were the top two. I thought for sure Sugarbush would have cranked but....



I think that the raising $100 for free lift ticket is an incentive to increase fund raising goals - which is the purpose of the whole event. Otherwise people could just sign up and pay $30 and raise nothing and just ski for less money!


Aaaahhh, I see. I guess you can enter the event without skiing if you are merely raising funds and not partaking in the vertical skiing challenge. Thanks!

I posted this a while back! We have our tickets already and we're stoked to see it!

About the tickets - "comes with a free ticket to Sugarloaf or Sunday River" is because they are the Primary Sponsors. They do this every year and we take full advantage of it - family tradition! They have to be used before Christmas though.

Just got an e-mail that my Ski Vermont purchase was cancelled. Seems they had issues with the site and were sold out before I bought:angry:. Oh well on to look for other deals. Hope Price Choppers come out with their books again.

So he gets credit ... I'm sure if he sells enough he gets a free pass or something. Pretty week for someone with only 2 posts on the forum.

You purchased the next day after it had already shown they were sold out but then came back correct.
