I just learned the Entertainment Coupon book is available as an app. Instead of buying the book in advance you can just download the app, pay for digital membership and get discounts to all these place:
https://shop.entertainment.com/pages/ski
I just used it this weekend for the 2 for 1 to Campgaw to take my 4 year old skiing. The neat part was I signed up for and bought the app in the morning on my way to the mountain. If you are planning on skiing any of the places on the list its a good, easy savings to consider.

Free ski tunes with a donation to local food pantry at Golf and Ski Warehouse. Locations in Greenland, Hudson and West Leb in NH, as well as Scarborough, Me. Don't know how long promo lasts, and can't vouch for the quality of work. I dropped of my rock skis, can't come back any worse I don't suppose? I think you have to sign up for there free rewards card, which offers discounts at some NH resorts as well.

Well I nailed this prediction.

Don't know for how long this has been lowered, but they slashed the price to $125. Decent deal if you can get to 3 mountains now, awesome deal if you can get to 4 or more.

Ironically I still wont be buying it now even though it's my favorite " SOTC deal", because it's almost February now, and I had to plan on the season without it and loaded up on too many other bargains, BOGOs, and deals.

Complete capitulation.

Down to $75 now, with 102 remaining. Great deal........for some.

The irony is, with only a touch over 1 month left in the ski season, I'm already sitting on more expiring vouchers/deals than I can possibly use.

What did they expect to happen when they removed one of the most popular mountains as part of the deal and raised the price as well? That was just a poor idea and execution on their part to begin with.

I myself have 2 of the Ski VT 3-packs without any of the passes used... I did not expect to be sitting here in the middle of February with none of them used and wondering when/how I can use them. Ugh.

I get caught in the same trap every year. 3 weekends of mid-season blackouts are killer. Damn ski Vermont. They don't pull this with NH and ME vouchers.

Here is a more direct link - http://wfff.halfoffdeals.com/index.php?index_type=promo-detail&h=6032796

That is a very good deal - Even if you use 2 at let's say Cannon and Qburke that comes to $37.50 per day use 3 then it averages to $25 use 4 then you are down to $18.75. I, however, am in the same boat as Jcb890 - where I have Ski 3 Passes and other vouchers that I am going to have to work hard at burning in March - hope the weather works with us!
