The Mountain Sports Club is a no-brainer deal. I joined last year for a Saddleback ticket, $30, I didn't get to use it, they never opened due to wind. I did get a raincheck good through this season however. I could have got half off on my Plattekill downhill mountain bike lift ticket this Summer, but I didn't realize it till after I went, doh! I will be printing out some vouchers just in case I need them, Jay 2 for 1, Magic. I think my membership is good for one year, I bought it last February. If you can use any of the passes you get for joining, don't hesitate, just do it. You'll get a cheap lift ticket, and other discounts to boot.

Just read on another post that NEK Sundays will be back at Burke. Not are what the rate will be.

Well here is the answer from their marketing top dog!

More importantly, Sunday NEK ticket is alive, well, and the rate frozen; still $25 this year.

Yeah good deal, I'm going to give it a couple more weeks to see if they add any more areas to the sign up bonus, but odds are I'll go with the Magic ticket. I would like to get to Pat's Peak one of these years, but there usually 2 for 1s available.

I've bought MSC the last 2 yrs and its worked well. With Fox card and SkiVT taking care of Vt skiing I too will wait and see what else they add for Maine/NH. Also wanna see what I end up as a voucher from RSNE before picking an MSC voucher

The 2 for 1 deal is similar to the Irving gas deal. But you don't have to pay anything upfront with Irving.

I just saw on Killington website that is you bring in any season pass or lift ticket from any mountain from last year or this year you can save 20% off ticket at K to December 15 2013( and I just put last year tickets in the garbage, guess I will be looking through it later).

Also on their website it shows the Salt Lake Super Pass but no details on savings does any one know? http://www.vermonttravelclub.com/mountains/28-salt-lake-super-pass

Not sure what, if any, the discount is on the SLC passes. My wife and I have been joining the Vermont Travel Club for the last few years. Really significant discounts at several mountains. Two days at Stowe and we've more than paid for the card. Pretty deep discounts at Mount Snow. Good deal on mid-week tickets at Sugarbush. We've contacted the owner a couple of times about little snafus and he's been very responsive. For folks like us who aren't close enough to any mountain to make season passes make any sense it's been a great deal.

Just curious about why they have the Super Pass for Utah on the
website of Vermont lift Card?

Yes I agree for several early trips to Mountsnow weekend for less then 80 both days to Christmas hopefully after Christmas I be skiing Platty and some weekends in North Vermont when it gets good , wonder when they mail out the card?

 

[gostan]

All of these deals have their limitations. Since I am not buying a Sugarbush season pass this winter, the combination of the Vermont Travel Club $51 Sunday-Friday excluding holidays and the two Quad packs ($50 any day - I will use this on Saturdays ) has me covered at SB. The discounts at the other mountains are a bonus.

This is an ok deal! We shoot for half price pr better. I bought the RSNE card, have a ski Vermont 3 pass, bought the FOX 44 deal, attended a few movies with comps or 2 fers and we will get a few other comps as well. All at or below 50% off! Oh and a $10 liftopia deal to Jay Peak!

I think they've not finalized te details and/or not posted it yet. They've had some offers for that the past couple of years. They've also organized some group trips out West.

I like Mountainsnow and good deals for them and Sugarsbush on Sunday for 51, and Cornhead convinces me to join Connecticut ski club member ship holly deals.

For me I like this because I can ski early season in North Vermont really cheaply once things get going in the Catskills (Roxbury NY) then couple Sunday to Mountsnow for 46, ski end of season 50% off at Stowe make a few trips to K hopefully I have the money for gas, my first ever snow tires on the car.
