I haven't been following this thread, so forgive me if this has already been posted.

For my two boys, we just did a season ski lease for $99. This includes skis, boots, and poles.

The lease included the following:
1) A free unrestricted junior season pass to Bretton Woods; and
2) A coupon book with coupons for a free youth ticket with the purchase of an adult ticket at about 23 different ski areas.

Even if your child doesn't need the skis this is a pretty appealing offer.

Even I draw the SOTC line at, "Subletting skis to children".

I knew of the deal about a week ago when I located the site on my own so knew exact start time and how many were available---for my own selfish reasons I kept it to myself until after I bought.

Thank you!!

where did you lease from?

Golf and Ski Warehouse in West Lebanon. There is a store in Nashua that offers the Bretton Woods pass, and one in North Conway. There are also a couple in Massachusetts. There may be a couple of more that I am not aware of. I am not sure which stores offer the buy-one-get-one coupon book.

Golf and Ski Warehouse had better terms than some of the other shops. No deposit, and a generous return-by-date. One shop I looked at wanted the skis back by mid-March. Golf and Ski Warehouse is officially April 15th, but if the season is like it was last year he said that they had no problem extending the date by a couple of weeks.

Rogers Ski and Sport has not gotten on the junior-lease bandwagon, and I really can't understand why. They have a credit if you exchange junior equipment, but it's not nearly as appealing to me - especially since you can exchange leased equipment if anything breaks or if your child outgrows anything. My son had a real growth spurt last year and I am very thankful that we were able to swap out his equipment for a bigger size with no questions asked.

Just picked this up, its a great deal for all the other savings throughout the year, the skiing is a bonus. I have an 8 and 6 yo so we do lots of the places that are listed.

Noticed that the K etix (adult and youth) are posted on their sites. It also shows what the walk up rate is on any given day for those. Helps with early season planning - well it does for me.

I lease from The Ski House in Somerset Ma and we get the Bretton Woods passes but not the coupon book. I wish they offered that too but beggars and all!!

This seems a bit confusing to me. Looking at this list it looks like you get a coupon for a lift ticket at that price but if you read the details it's more like buy one ADULT ticket at FULL price get a discounted CHILDREN's ticket. Am I reading that right?

Funny because they state the window are on day one to be - Window: $64. I have never seen that - I guarantee they will start the window rate at $39. That is what it was last year.

 

[deadheadskier]

Last year must have been an exception. Most years they start at $59. It's always $20-30 higher window rate than Sunday River for the first couple of weeks. We've had the discussion in the forums many times.

K has the higher rate, but no one ends up paying it because of the flood of twofer coupons out there.
