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!

Does this include a processing fee? I'm tempted to use just for Cannon and Whiteface if they were $37.50 each. Going to Lake Placid mid March and I've yet to ski Cannon this season. I'm still sitting on a lot of vouchers though.

I do not see any processing fees! The dollar amounts are dollar cost averages based on number of times the card is used.

only metro ski council cards or all clubs?

All New England Ski Councils/ Clubs. Been trying to get this point across for years. All the councils work together.

Head over to Kohls Department stores for enormous winter clothing sales. About the only good thing that has come out of othis dismal winter is a glut of winter garments at Kohls. I'm not much of a shopper, but I'd venture to say this extends to other stores as well. There are pile after pile of sweaters, shirts, pants that are marked down another 40% off of the first 60% discount. I bought two knit sweaters. MSRP was 80. The final tag price on each was 20 each., then I applied a 20% off coupon I got from their web site. the clothes are are beautiful. Undergarments, fleece tops for $8, heavy knit socks for $5. It was hard to stop buying, and I HATE clothes shopping. I went in to buy some clothes for a business trip, but was totally consumed by the stuff in there. Casual long sleeved shirts about $8. It isn't junk. Nice styles and a wide range of styles. I could have walked out with 10x more stuff, but I had to show some restraint, I simply didn't need it. Christmas in February.

^ Nice score. I was just thinking about this the other day, not with clothes, but equipment. Ski sales must have been abysmal this year.

I would think so, but the ski stores are holding their price strategy. Even the ski resorts have caved by cranking up the snow making again. I've never seen that happen.

The SIA show was last month. I'll bet the stores orders are way down for delivery next fall. I'll bet we see a lot of "last years" equipment for sale in the fall. Seems odd, but I guess the hardgoods strategy is different than the garment industry.

Dead on.. Stores are barely hanging on this year.

Just wanted to inform people that I was able to use the JeepSki promotion to get 2 tickets to Killington, thanks guys!

It was a huge pain in the ass though.

First the dealership had no idea how to do it. So, they then had me call Jeep Customer Service. I called and they said dealership needed to do it... she took down my info and said she'd take care of it. I didn't hear back the next day so I called back and didn't have a case # so the guy couldn't find me in their system and told me I was SOL. I called the dealership and they weren't sure who had talked to Jeep Customer Service to get things done or if anyone had spoken to them. A day later I get a call from Jeep Customer Service and the woman I talked to originally tells me that she talked to the dealership and things would be taken care of. Another day goes by, I call the Jeep dealership, they still have no idea. So, I called back the woman at Jeep Customer Service again and she says that she got it taken care of, the dealership just needs to contact some other division the following day to get me setup. That was on Monday. Then yesterday I got my email with the code #'s for my complimentary tickets.

What an ordeal!

Sounds like you earned your "free" tickets, enjoy!

Probably the most effort I've ever put into something that was "free". None of the people at the Jeep dealerships I spoke with (2 different ones) had any idea about this promotion either. One of the guys said "Oh man, if I had known, I would have done this too" and this is the guy trying to sign me up for the promotion. Another dealership (who I didn't bother with after my initial call) had the gall to tell me the promotion was over when I knew for a fact it didn't end until the 29th and I was calling on the 26th. :lol:

Hopefully we'll get some nice Spring riding in with the passes.
