Skiing on the Cheap - 2014-15 Edition

[BenedictGomez]

Yes I remember Mansfield being a little more lax than over at Spruce Camp.

The people who sell lift tickets at Spruce are typically better trained and know more about tickets deals, rules, etc... because that's where the ski school is, beginners are, and a bit more of the customer-service focus is placed.

Killington K-Tickets on Sale - buy 7 and get one free which works out to be $53.37 per day no black outs! Better deal than the Killington Express Card with the exception of the pre-purchase factor.

With the Express card your 7th day is free so I think they're both about the same. I'm not going to do the math to figure out if there is a small difference.

It actually works out to $69.54/night if you read the fine print, but that's still really cheap. Looks like you can only select December at that rate though.

I've never heard of "Amazon Local" or AMZN selling vacation deals, is this somewhat new?

Considering if you book 2 days or more they will give you extra ticket for skiing and the water park for the day you arrive! That makes the deal even sweeter! Nice find!

However it is a midweek play in December and March!

Gonna get a couple this year I think. Such a terrific deal.

Yeah it's popped up in the last year or so. Groupon competitor, I think. I had both of those apps on my phone for most of the year and never used them. Where I live isn't densely populated. I speculate that folks who live in cities can more easily find a use for these services.

A lot of blackout dates but that's still a pretty good deal even with excluding Christmas week, MLK weekend President's week and every other weekend in February.

How do you find out about it? In 2012, by searching I see they dropped it on November 9 (FB & Twitter), but it doesn't seem as though they advertised it online last year.

Heard about it in last year's thread...pretty sure it was around the first week of October.
