Gunstock 2 for 1 Tuesday Nights - Will probably be around $17 per person in 2014-2015

As a deal hunter I found the best deals to be The Ride andSki Card, Vermont Ski 5 Pass, Fox 44 Ski and Ride Card, Gunstock Two for Tuesday Nights, being a member of a ski club and Liftopia. With that combo you are set! Black out dates are a problem though but that is where liftopia comes in.

I buy a couple Magic 3-paks for $139.00 each. They are unrestricted and transferable! Gives you a decent option for Christmas, MLK, and Presidents week! Plus no holiday "crowds". It's really the only place to be during those peak times................

Jay Peak is offering the first 10 sets of 4-packs of Pump House season passes (good through November 15) for $199 all in. I just scored mine.

Maybe this should go in the Mis thread because it for skiing or snowboarding. It is a great deal though.

 

[dlague]

Well I think this is worth mentioning:

Cannon

Adult Military Pass - $385
Senior Military Pass - $235
NH Adult Military Pass - $289
NH Senior Military Pass - $176

Pretty sweet deals! Brought to my attention by xwhaler.

I'm loving the student thing again...Magic for $219

If I were still in school this would be the year I got a Pats/Ragged pass for $199. They say you can be a PT or grad school student as well which is pretty awesome.

It's more "deal worthy" than 4/5 of the crap that gets posted in this thread.

Drives me nuts when someone posts "save $10 on a weekday lift ticket" at XYZ resort, when the page before there's a "save $20 on a lift ticket" all season long at XYZ resort post.

To add what dlague is saying, a military or veteran season pass for copper/winter park/El Dora is $339 which is just ridiculous. You get 6 days of steamboat and 3 days of crested butte as well.

If you buy the copper only season pass you get 3 free days at Killington, PCMR and Mt. Bachelor

Nice deal, great find! Deals like this will start to pop up - we got lift tickets to Jay Peak last year for $10. Makes sense to spot check it!

Edit!

Exactly. copy & paste from MRG calender of events.

Roll Back The Clock Day

To celebrate MRG's anniversary we roll back lift ticket prices to the 1948 rate of $3.50!

Anyone can just walk up & ski MRG that day for $3.50. No advance purchase necessary...:lol:

I was going to go last year but it was to damn cold that day. Glad I didn't lock myself in ahead of time even though it was only $3.50.

Well ain't that a hoot! Oh well, I got a boat load of people jumping on it! Say anything to them now makes me look like a heel - will stick to the perceived good liftopia deal!

Everyone will have a great day.

You'll look pretty silly at the ticket window with a 7/8 pre-purchase date though.

 

[manhattanskier]

Lol thanks for letting me know, I always try to contribute to this list when I can lol I thought I had a good one!

Well a pre purchase is a commitment in that respect - I have blown that day off for years now I won't. We have a friggin party organizing on that day - about 16 friends going. Spending $7 in July is not a big deal either way. Like a fart on the wind!
