Don't only certain Irving Gas Stations participate in this? That's what I seem to recall from prior years. I wonder if they'd be willing to accept copies of receipts. I have to turn in the original to get reimbursed for work and it's pretty common for me to fill up my 13 gallon tank 3 times per week. I suppose I could have the station print me an extra copy if need be.

Any Irving as afaik, I save my receipts from all over New England, and copies worked for me on the ones that I had to turn in. At least they did at Burke.

Realistically, the ski hill's ticket personnel aren't going to know which Irving gas station's receipt is from a "participating station" versus not.

i thought in prior years you took your receipt into the gas station (if you got at pump) and they gave you a booklet and a sticker for each purchase.. you gave the booklet full of stickers to the ticket person at the hill.

Now you just need the voucher sheet, and the three receipts...

Also:
*Minimum of 10 gallons needed for each receipt in order to qualify. Qualifying receipts must be dated between December 1st, 2014 and March 31st, 2015. Customers are able to purchase fuel in Canada (minimum 35 litres per receipt) and qualify for the offer. Vouchers will be accepted at ski resorts until April 30th, 2015. See voucher for valid days as there are days of the week the offer is not valid.

Usually the people in one of the Irvings up here just rip off a section of 15-20 vouchers for me off the pad as no one else seems to ask for them.

I wish I could make that trip. I have been wanting to go for years. But I don't think my wife would let me leave for a weekend with two kids under 2

Sure she would if you let her go away for a weekend while you took care of the kids.

you could do slopeside condo and hang with them @ lunch and @ night.. but that probably isn't an economical option

I'm from MA and on a tight budget, are there any mountains with enough trails open to make a day trip worth it? Maybe a discount day?

What's your idea of "fun"? beginner/intermediate/advanced, type of terrain, challenge? good bar? speed? bumps? yard sales? Midweek? How flexible are you? Need to look at that before we look at deals.

I like yard sales, as long as I don't get hurt, breaks up the monotony.
