I swear there are a million of these out there but i'm posting this because it may be relevant to some but not others geographically and/or economically.

I kinda like this one which definitely gets better the more you use it, for those planning on trips north of 20 days a season check it out:
https://www.themaxpass.com/?utm_source=supply&utm_medium=search&utm_campaign=Fall15

With 20 days of skiing you are paying 36 dollars a day for Killington, Stratton, Pico, Tremblant! Throw in another 5 days each at Sunday River, Loon and Sugarloaf and you're looking at $21 a day!!

NO BLACK OUT DAYS...NOT BAD!!

Next year, I'm picking this up at the early bird price (don't know what it is but its cheaper than what I just calculated above)!

I know this is a Northeast Skiing and Snowboard Forum but .......

I have been combing the internet for deals for Colorado since we are in the midst of planning to ski out there and thought I would share these. I like the Gem Card

Purchase the Loveland 4-pak for $139 that is 34.75 per person and can be used all on the same day - available through 11/22/15.

And for $20 this card (Colorado Gem) gives us 2 for 1 tickets for several (six) places - http://www.coloradoski.com/gems/ I would consider A Basin, Cooper and Loveland.

Keystone/A Basin 4 pak - http://www.snow.com/epic-pass/passes/keystone-four-pack.aspx

If anyone know of others would like to know.

Sunday River will be free on Halloween, as in the past few years, if you wear a costume (Assuming they're open). It is a Saturday this year, and will likely be a zoo if a decent day.

For Scotty again. Maybe you should join a ski club, might be worth your while. I know you ski Catamount some times, here's the deal for ski club members at Catamount.

M-F $20 lift tickets (non holiday)
$49 Sat. & $45 Sun. (non holiday)

I know you also like Gore. Ski club deals there are $42 (1 day), $75 (2 day) on select dates which also include some weekend dates. Whiteface also has the same priced deals. If you need the dates I could supply them for you.

Belleayre also has ski club deals on select dates with $38 lift tickets.

Windham offers ski club members an express card for $30 which works like Hunters Big Lift Card. 50% off weekday tickets, 20% off weekends & 15% off holiday. I think you have to hook it up to a credit card because it offers direct to lift access.

[FONT=&quot]Winter is coming. I've heard those words uttered frequently over the last couple of days as a potential snow storm this weekend looms over northern New England. It's about this time that I make the yearly promise to myself that I'll start getting in shape for the upcoming season. I dream up a dry-land training regime of wall sits, squats, box jumps and hiking up trails to scope out all my woods runs for the year. These ambitious plans however, rarely materialize. Which leads to burning legs and more frequent trips back to the lodge than I would like. As this first notion of a storm puts you in a winter state of mind, don't be like me. Do a wall sit or two, your legs will thank you on your first day back at Bolton Valley.[/FONT]

Did they have the 24 hr requirement on the first offering this year? I don't remember that.

With the current conversion rate, Owl's Head is $16.83 USD on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Mid-winter weekend tickets can had for less than $30 USD, and sometimes quite a bit less.

Considering how close it is to Jay Peak, I'm surprised that more people don't check it out.

Been there done that and we enjoyed it!

But need your passport which maybe a small hurdle.

Good to know - Owl's Head and Jay are nearly equidistant from my house. I've thought about checking it out (along with Bromont/Sutton/Orford). Gotta love that exchange rate...

Definitly check it out. Spent several days up there a few years ago & enjoyed them all. Made me check my passport & i'm good for a couple of more seasons.
