Killington announced their spring pass. $179 if purchased by 2/28. $199 after. Valid 3/15 through closing, hopefully in June with the pile on SS. I am in!

Crotched $14 5pm-3am - that is pretty sweet - in the case of my wife it is better than a box of chocolates (she hates chocolate). In fact, she sent me the link.

Strange because I just used it a few seconds ago. I just tried it again and it worked?

Possible. Oh well. I'll see if I can find another coupon...

Yep, looks like you have to receive the code in an email to be able to use it. Oh well. It was good while it lasted! :lol:

How is the Groupon ticket delivered? Is it a printable voucher that one could use the next day?

That has been my experience.

The Bromley Spring Loaded is a pretty good deal, although it's gone up from last year (now 30 / day vs 25 last year). Their snowmaking is reliable enough that you will get a solid weekend in the beginning of Dec assuming you don't use them all this year. However, I'm thinking spring bumps under the PBR quad are going to be killer this year; tons of snow up there.

The Spring Loaded Card. 4 awesome days for $119! Yes, that's 4 days of amazing sun in your face spring skiing & riding for less than $30 a day. More details here. Non-transferable, valid February 23 through December 18, 2015

Just bought a Pico Groupon, heading there tomorrow. $45 is a solid deal for when most mtns are still on Holiday pricing/vouchers blacked out.
If that Bromley spring loaded card could have been used this wknd I probably would have pulled the trigger as I could have gotten 2+ days there this season. Never been to Bromley.

Guys,

I can get you Pico VT for 29 each.
Also WhiteFace NY 59, Gore NY 69, Killington VT 79, Bretton Woods NH 29, Nashoba Valley MA 19 each.
All vouchers with no restrictions, good any day till season ends, including week-ends.

That's pretty good if you want to ski Okemo!

It's not bad but it doesn't start until 3/20. Last season I think Okemo closed the 3rd wknd in April---with plenty of snow albeit not enough demand. K has the VT Spring market cornered.
The K Pass I think is a better value at $179 as you get a wknd early and probably 5-8 weeks later.

Midnight madness (5pm-3am) at Crotched next Sat night the 28th is only $9.29 when purchased in advance online.
