Sunday River is offering free skiing tomorrow for veteran's and one family member in honor of Veteran's Day.

 

[billski]

Yes, I am talking about the club ordering tickets. They buy a bunch to each mountain and then resell them to the members. Two tickets per mountain up to a total of 16 tickets per member for Vermont. You could double that if your significant other also joined. There are no limits on New Hampshire and Maine tickets.

Starting in December or so the limits are removed for remaining tickets.

FWIW, I have belonged to the club for 15 years. The last four years I was on the board.

Thank you Scotty, I'm going to grab the Dec. 19th one to K. A nice Friday trip and hopefully they have a lot more open. Anyone up for a trip?

 

[Ski2LiveLive2Ski]

Princeton Ski Club (costs $30 to join) is offering $55 Pocono Ski And Ride Cards. Each card is good for 6 days of skiing, one day each at Blue Mountain, Camelback, Jack Frost, Shawnee, Big Bear and Alpine. Good any day after Jan 5, with no black out dates.

This is a steal for Pocono skiers. I bought two of them, which will give me 6 days solo at Blue, Camelback and Jackfrost and 2 days with my kids (under 46" ski free with paying adult) at Shawnee. Probably won't bother with Alpine or Big Bear, but I'll be getting 8 days on the slopes, 2 with my kids included, for $140 including the membership cost. Hard to beat.

They need to receive your check by Nov. 20 for this deal. For info, email gkoscs@gmail.com

Once I've used up the Mountains I plan to hit, I will offer my cards free to anyone interested in hititng Alpine or Big Bear (both about 500 foot hills suited only for beginners)

Here's a decent deal for a mileage junkie like myself...

http://www.united.com/web/en-US/app...ons/registrationDetails.aspx?promoCode=A14398

Basically United is offering 20% off when using mile to book a flight to Europe. So you're looking at 48,000 roundtrip rather than 60,000. I always found it better to use other credit cards deal to get to Europe though. When using straight airline miles you don't earn additional miles, so you'd lose out on about 8,000 new ones. But if you're loaded with UNited miles this might be of interest.

 

[BenedictGomez]

you're looking at 48,000 roundtrip rather than 60,000.

When did it change to 60,000 from 50,000?

I took a FF trip to Europe in 2004 and it cost me 50,000. I guess there's even "inflation" in FF miles!
