Skiing on the Cheap - 2014-15 Edition

[VTKilarney]

Bretton Woods is selling $19 early season tickets valid every day 'til Dec. 19 They also have $35 midweek valid all season with holiday blackouts, and $65 anytime tix. For a limited time at brettonwoods.com

Bretton Woods lost their server and their backup server - which is why the link to purchase the tickets does not work. They confirmed that the promotional pricing will run through the conclusion of the Boston Ski Expo. They hope to have their server back online this (Saturday) afternoon, although they didn't seem too sure of it.

Thanks VTK, I need to pickup a couple to matchup with my kids free jr passes from their rentals.

That's exactly what I was trying to do. I actually went to get my children's season passes, but couldn't get them because of the server crash. Oh well... It was a nice day for a drive.

The Bretton Woods server appears to be back up, but I still can't figure out how to purchase the tickets. It wants you to put in a start date, and no matter what date I put in it says that no product is available.

Bretton Woods appears to have an unadvertised Christmas Day ticket for $25.

I get the Bold/Beautiful pass for Cannon/BW every year. Last season I had no luck with BW's site. Tried calling them and they couldn't take the order over the phone. Yeah, weird. Had to go through Cannon.

They couldn't sell me the promotional tickets in person, which was pretty frustrating after making the drive to the mountain.

You would think their ticket manager could produce a hand typed voucher for the tickets to satisfy the sale.

That seems to be the same issue I'm having!

So I just tried to buy my season pass for this year on BW's site. You get partly through the process and it craps out. Deja vu from last year. I went straight to Cannon's site and it worked like a charm.

The obvious takeaway here is that the government-run ski area does a superior job when compared with the private one. No doubt VTKilarney agrees wholeheartedly with me.

Cant the politics be confined to the multiple Global Warming threads and/or obvious other political threads? Can we try to at least keep politics out of the friggin' SOTC thread?

Those were jokes, BG. Lighten up, buddy.

 

[deadheadskier]

yes, jokes.......



And thanks for the laugh BG. The single most politically charged forum member by far is attempting to community moderate where political discussions can and can't occur? Seriously? That's a good Sunday morning laugh right there.

As of this morning Bretton Woods' server was down again. At this point I would happily support a government takeover. ;-) And if I did want to take this seriously, I would point out the complete train wreck that is the Vermont Health Connect website. But it's November and snow is blowing, so why not just have some fun!

As long as they get their servers running before my stay at the Mt. Washington Hotel all is good.

 

[deadheadskier]

When's the deadline on the cheap tickets at BW? I'd like to buy 1 or 2 for some December turns.

 

[VTKilarney]

At least through the Boston Ski Expo.
