Skiing on the Cheap - 2014-15 Edition

[fahz]

The New York Capital District Ski Council has a bunch more days/places on it. Some that steamboat1 had posted previously. So mountains don't care what club as long as it is affiliated?

Cool; thanks Steamboat and Dlague.

I'm going to copy/paste that into Excel and modify it to my geographic needs and add to it as more dates are posted here.

I'll have to take your word for it. I clicked on that link and became blinded. Holy hades, does a blind person do their web page?

Well - this is old news now, however, to be noted for next year.

My wife bought us VIP Passes to the Boston Winter Film Festival - http://www.bostonwinterfilmfestival.com/. I returned from travel and told me we are heading to Boston no questions asked. When we got there we walked around Boston then headed over to the Aquarium IMAX theater and she said surprise we are going to watch ski/snowboard movies and we did from 7:30-11:30. It was a very cool vibe. Next time we will bring our own beverages though - via my wife's purse!

Where is the deal here? Well the VIP Pass was $34 and it comes with a comp ticket to Sunday River, I got to watch 4 ski/snowboard flicks (Level 1 movie was the best).

It kind of snuck up on me! Not my wife however! If I was on FB more I may have noticed it because I liked SnowRider that actually more or less runs it every year!

Does anyone know if Fox25 will be doing Ski Fridays again?

Today is the last day for guaranteed lowest prices at Sunday River. I got a two night stay, slopeside condo with two days of skiing for $188.

Until the ski show!

Will it be cheaper there? If so, Sunday River guarantees to match any price....

Not sure - but Sugarloaf and SR have this whole setup with a boatload of sales people all focused on lodging! They had good deals last year!

What New England areas are selling ticket packs with no blackout dates?
The ones that jump to mind are Magic and MRG. Are there others?

Blackout dates are a Vermont thing. Most NH and Maine mountains do not have blackout dates on their vouchers.

Last chances for K Tickets - http://www.killington.com/site/tickets/tickets_and_cards/K-Tickets

Buy 7 get 8th free average cost per visit ~$53.

Almost considered it but overall a little too much! But for those of you that like Killington @ $53 with no blackout dates, then this is perfect.

Two that come to mind are Killington K tickets (tomorrows the last day to purchase, see my post on previous page) & the Sugarbush Quad Packs.

oops see post above for K tickets.

Really? Wow, that's great. Score one for NH and ME.

The K Tickets for midweek are $41 - they do have blackout dates but a good deal

 

[mbedle]

Okemo has a ticket pack onsale till the end of October.

Yes they are. You'd need at least a dozen days on a midweek season pass to beat that price (same blackouts).
