I'm pretty much all set with discounts this year between a weekday pass, VT. Passes & taking advantage of ski club/council appreciation days. Only thing I'm still contemplating on purchasing is a Sugarbush Quad Pack which I don't think has been mentioned yet in this thread.

Only reason I'm contemplating is I've yet to pay more than $50 for a lift ticket in the east & these would break that streak. Last time I bought them 3 or 4 years ago they were $199.

Such a great deal. Maybe the best value in New England. I ended up less than $15 a day with the card last year.

Rumor has it there will be at least 1 new mountain this year, though I dont know if any mountains dropped out.

We only used ours 5 times, but I still view that a success as it can be used on Saturdays, as well as the fact WF is expensive.

They have some good deals and always add more during the season. Berkie is very overlooked but.my choice for southern storms. Amazing woods on and off the map.

Liftopia January 26th 2 day ticket to Mad River Glen for $4! That day is roll back day but the day after is not! I bought. If conditions are good it's worth it if they suck I'm only wasting $4.

I'd be inclined to only use the second day on that ticket. I'd imagine the lift lines on roll back day are pretty intense.

Past few years it's been to damn cold to ski on those dates.

I bought a few as well as other that we were going to ski with and almost everyone bailed due the cold and overloaded work schedules. Thankfully it was cheap.
