Skiing on the Cheap - 2013-14 Edition

[fahz]

I've done that, and it does work, but I only did it out of laziness, not trying to beat a system. I dont really see why it would matter what town you register it too, all it does is issue you the piece of paper that says you must redeem with ID etc.... so the ID is still the key I think.

Not sure it would be beating the system. But if I watched WM in Albany where no Gore ticket was available but selected Rochester that had Gore as a ticket. And I only really cared about skiing Gore, then I saved roughly eight hours of driving and still got to go to the mountain I really wanted to go to.

You could trade unwanted tickets here.

How? The tickets from WM are essentially a print out on paper with all my personal information that the mountain sometimes verifies with a drivers license or some other form of id?

Or trade the unused cards from the show here prior to entering the info on the WM site.

Are these just show up with your club card and get the deal?

That is pretty good if you did not get the newsletter 2 fer. I have thought about getting a club membership (like $10-20) but I do not think I would be very active at the meetings.

In any case, we are still using our two fers.

Your ski club membership card has to be either dated showing current membership or you can affix one of the currently dated stickers given out by the various ski councils to your membership card. I don't know how strict K is with enforcing this (I have a season pass for K so never tried at K) but I know Stowe is pretty strict. But yes if you have this just show up at the ticket window with your ski club card, no advance registration needed.

edit: oops K says tickets must be purchased at the Snowshed lodge.

I have a sneaky feeling K will be raising their rates this weekend from their current rate of $69 so this will still be a better deal than the 2fer & you don't have to have a friend or find one.

Don't forget that their advertised weekend/holiday rate when they get more open will be $89. I wouldn't be surprised to see $79 this weekend with both Snowshed & Ramshead open.

Is it for any ski club/council or just CSC?

I know for certain it's good for clubs belonging to the NJ & Metro/NY ski councils also. Probably others to. All these councils purchase their discount bulk tickets together.
