No idea----If I didn't already have plans with a buddy to go to Pats and burn vouchers I'd prob ride up there.
Due to AM and PM commitments we both don't have a ton of time so Pats makes more sense.

Waterville is $7 tomorrow 12/24....Pats opponent score.

That is awesome! Looks Like we are headed to Sunday River though - I have a little more faith in their grooming and snowmaking! We have comps that have to be used by 12/25 so.... day tripping it!

For the Mountain Sports Club Card (2 for 1 at Jay, Whaleback, Ward, Black, Cranmore save $15 at Magic, buy one get one half off at Platty, etc) I googled the promo code and last years was sns12, so when ordering I tried sns13...BOOM! $4.95 INSTEAD OF 24.95.

Cool, good detective work. That premium card could also be a good deal with some of the mountain discounts. For example, 50 bucks for a premium card w/ two tickets to Plattekill, with "holiday restrictions/blackouts." Is it safe to assume those blackouts are just MLK, Presidents, etc.? Vouchers would still be good on other weekends, yeah? 25 per is a good price. Anyone know about this?

The MSC value deteriorated in terms of lift ticket deals, but it's worth it just for the "free" (not really) lift ticket to Smuggs for me.

The way I look at it, I paid $35 for a Saturday lift ticket to Smuggler's Notch, which is good, and if I can use it even once for a BOGO at Jay Peak, it's even better. Problem is, you cant BOGO Saturdays at Jay Peak anymore with this card. And Platty you cant BOGO at all anymore with the card, it's now BOGO1/2off, which I can beat with other deals, etc...
