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

Yes. I knew it was a limited deal but got tipped off to the fact that it was up again. Thought they had either released more or cleaned up what they thought were bogus purchases. Had no problem with the purchase and even got a confirmation e-mail. Definitely throws a crimp in my ski season plans. Its on to plan b.

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.

Sorry about that it totally stinks. Consider buying Vermont Travel ski card maybe?

Alex are you a member of a ski club that belongs to the NJ Ski Council? If you are I posted some killer deals for ski areas in VT. & NH. a few pages back. Most are even better than the Ski VT. Passes. Maybe you can work around some of those dates if you're eligible.

You need to enter the codes so you can purchase through my club's account. You will see that the pass prices are at a discounted rate. Thanks!

are you benefiting from this at all? It's against the rules of AZ to do this you know. It's one thing if you are along time member with some standing around here but you can't just pop in to pitch passes to your own benefit.

We hear you, Nick! I have seen this a couple of times already! I generally just ignore these - not to mention that I am not in that age group in any case! :-o

dnoll, for a small processing and handling fee, I'd be happy to solicit the money from the members and get it to you.

No, it does not get you around the age limit. You need to show an ID when you go to pick the pass up.

And yes, I posted on the forums that came up when I googled snowboarding.. I didn't realize I couldn't do that. I'm trying to let as many people know about this deal as I possibly can. Sorry

Same thing happened to me but I actually purchsed the first time around...really throws a spanner in the works. Will have to rely on my ride and ski card I guess.

Didn't know this but my midweek K pass gets me this also. 25% off weekend and peak days and 50% midweek non-peak days at Mountain Creek, NJ; Wachusett, MA; Moonstone, CAN; Bromont, CAN; and Mount Southington, CT. I highly doubt I'll be using the discounts.
