Skiing on the Cheap - 2014-15 Edition

[BenedictGomez]

Descente Passport info is out....

Lots of new places, and lots of places dropped. 31 total. East includes Gore, Whiteface, Belleayre, Nashoba, Bretton, Pico, Bear Creek (PA).

It gets slightly worse just about every year. Pico is again the only VT resort? Sheesh...

Is that Bretton Woods?

That's just the list of the resorts but not the deals.

Last year, it was almost all mid-week 2-for-1. Not much of a deal since those are available pretty often.

 

[skiNEwhere]

Does that decente passport deal work for future seasons? Or only the season you buy the jacket?

 

[St. Bear]

Does that decente passport deal work for future seasons? Or only the season you buy the jacket?

Only for this season. So you can't hold onto tickets, or buy last year's jacket.

Stratton - not a bad deal for rooms at Lifeline and Black Bear lodges.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Elk Mountain provides a lift ticket voucher for ALL attendees.
Tickets can also be purchased at Buckman's.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Probably will be at the Warren Miller film in Morristown, definitely will be at the one in Bethlehem, PA.

The Elk Mountain ticket they give away is early season and late-season. And "late season" at Elk Mountain might not even exist.

What is interesting is that each show apparently has different benefits. This is for a show in NJ:

11/5 - 8:00 Presale tickets available Sept. 8th. Check warrenmiller.com for details.

-FREE LIFT TICKET TO SUGARBUSH
-FREE LIFT TICKET TO GORE MOUNTAIN
-FREE LIFT TICKET TO WINDHAM MOUNTAIN
-FREE LIFT TICKET TO SMUGGLERS’ NOTCH
-2-FOR-1 LIFT TICKET TO KILLINGTON RESORT

-SKI AND RIDE FREE AT STEAMBOAT
-20% OFF ONE FULL-PRICE SNOW HELMET OR SNOW GOGGLE AT REI

This one is pretty good though, but the Devil might be in the details.

Sugarbush will be solid - M-F
The Gore may or may not be open to Jan 31 or early/late
The Smuggs is probably for those 4 or 5 once-per-month Fridays only
No idea about Windham or Killington

I'll probably buy tickets to this if we can get some clarity.

The show in Manhattan you should 100% go to though (I bought both showings the deals were so good last year).

 

[St. Bear]

The Elk Mountain ticket they give away is early season and late-season. And "late season" at Elk Mountain might not even exist.

Hmmm. It's good to know, but I'd still be happy with an early season ticket to build my ski legs. I usually get 1-2 days in Dec, and then struggle in Jan once the snow starts to build. Elk is only 90 min from my house, so it's really convenient.

 

[BenedictGomez]

I pulled the trigger on the Morristown show (small venue and only 1 show, might sell out fast) after looking up the ticket restrictions, and they're not bad. Using the presale code, it was $18/ticket.

I'll try to trade the Killington free tickets for free tickets someplace else like Jay, Smuggs, Gore, Whiteface etc...

Now I need to buy tickets to both Manhattan showings.

Unfortunately the shows I am looking at are private showings so the code does not work on those.

 

[chuckstah]

The Warren Miller showing at The Flying Monkey in Plymouth NH on Nov 28 comes with a Cannon ticket and a Sugarbush ticket. Two shows 4 and 7:30 pm $18 per ticket. I have not tried the presale password yet.
