Skiing on the Cheap - 2015-16 Edition

[jaytrem]

Entirely different program. Your link is about MOBIL. At least click on the link.

Yeah this one, http://skifreedeals.com/ , is typically western stuff. They added Michigan a few years ago. Always a great deal though. In the past you've only needed 1 fill-up to get a 2 for 1 ticket, I assume that will still be the case. It was always very easy to just go to a gas station and either ask people for their receipts, or just grab the ones people left in the pump. Used it a number of times in WA/OR/CA/CO. They haven't been in OR/WA in quite a while though.

My bad sorry. As Jaytrem said it is usually for western areas. Used it for Copper before.

BEST TIP OF THE DAY! I get my gas at a no-name station for 20+ cents/gallon less.

Got word that the problem with VT this year is that one of the big distributors chose not to participate with a lot of their stations. I'll just have to use better mileage planning so I can get a return fill-up in NY rather than VT.

One positive I noticed, however, is that the gas station in Lake Placid is back (they didnt participate last season), so each Whiteface visit is an easy stamp.

Link to the 2015 - 2016 Ski Ride Free gas station map I create.

Hopefully this helps you earn some BOGOs.

2015 - 2016 Ski Ride Free GPS Map

I created this map to help people earn free skiing, so please feel free to share the link with other Skiers + Riders. This map will work with the GPS on your smartphone when you're out and about on your way to & from skiing.

THINK SNOW!

What on earth? Sigh.... looks like another great ski deal will soon be going the way of the dodo bird.

EDIT: Though now that I think about it, given what a near-Monopoly gas stations are in Vermont, I suppose if the big 2 opted out, and you dont actively seek out some independents, this could happen.

At any rate, I'll put these into my GPS map for those here that use it.

Useless to me. The only mountains I would consider skiing on that list are in Vermont, and cheap Vermont tickets at rates better than BOGO are easy to come by. Nothing worthwhile in NH or ME where good discounts are harder to find.

It's an eye test, just have to wait until someone picks one up. I see butternut, bromley, catamount, smuggs, wa-wa, jimney, mt. peter, otis ridge, bristol, old forge, windham

Anyone get the text from Cannon yet?

I already posted this up thread. I got the map. Here the details:
