I get it from where you are not a whole lot of options from Pittsburgh. Being from Central NH it is a whole different story - heck Jay Peak and Burke are day trips technically.

Not knock your sox off, but some of the pricing is pretty good for weekends and holidays for places like Cannon and Loon where discounts those days are tough to come by. I like this new format of individual tickets vs what they used to offer where you had to buy packages of tickets to groups of four mountains. There was always a mountain or two in those groups I wasn't interested in.

That said, except for there being no blackouts these deals do stink in comparison to SkiVT deals.

I've always found it bizarre how much better the discounts tend to be in VT despite those areas typically being much more popular.

Yeah, SkiNH does not play nice with others. At least NH and ME do not have pervasive blackout dates like VT.

The Warren Miller schedule is out, and if you happen to live near an REI the presale starts tomorrow (14th - 20th) for $4 off per ticket.

The price keeps going up on this one annually (for obvious reasons) but this is still a pretty good deal if you plan on skiing the beast relatively often during this and next season.
I did it last season and my wife did it the year before...I will be enjoying my 50% off tickets on my brand spanking new board this season - I might even take an advanced lesson for half price:

I skied Wildcat early season 2014 on Dec. 13 (Saturday), and lift tickets were $59. I don't recall how much they were midweek, but the $35 deal is probably the lowest you will see for the season.

 

[ThinkSnow]

Question - we're looking to ski Wildcat at least two or three times in November (if open, of course). I assume Wildcat will have early season rates (Bretton is sweet at $29 until mid-December). Would it make sense to buy $35 tix now with the intention of using them early season, or maybe just wait until November and buy tix then at the early season rates?

Where did you see Bretton Woods for $29?
