You take 1 day off and ski either Wildcat or Sugarbush for $55 and it's not a bad deal. Use anything beyond that and your cost/day comes down even more.
Last yr the Peaks voucher was good Sunday-Friday so to have the price go up and remove the Sunday was a tad disappointing.
I'm going to use:
Burke, Bush, Wildcat, Pats night and Gunstock night from my VIP bag
total cost will be $72 for those 5 days/nights or $14.40/session (pretty great in my book)

The Portsmouth showing was the same. Mid week deals. We never used ours last couple years. Some of the comps at the ski show ski are often mid week as well. I generally do not take time off for a single day, instead I like to take blocks of days for a destination event. So these never worked out.
That being said if you can use all those mid week deals then it is definitely worth it.

Can you buy these tickets online and get the Kristen's Gift deal or do you have to attend the show? Manchester/Portsmouth just a bit too long of a haul for me from CT. Thx.

Comes in the bag you get at the entrance. But we can run a test. You pay for the show and call them up saying you cannot make it and see if they will send you the gift bag.
They probably could raise a lot more money if that were feasible but then the ski areas would carry more liability as in free skiing from their perspective. The seats limit that to a know number.

I don't think this has been mentioned, but it's great deal if you're planning to ski a lot in Quebec (and you can get your hands on it)...

We just saw Tight Loose by TGR and it came with a free lift ticket to Crested Butte. Plus you could buy the Frequent Skier Card for $69 preloaded with a free day which is not bad either. As many already know, it depends on which show and the offering that comes with it.
And - holy crap - we are going to the Warren Miller Movie on Nov 18th and it has quite the booty
2-FOR-1 LIFT TICKET TO CRESTED BUTTE MOUNTAIN RESORT, UNLIMITED USE
DISCOUNTED SINGLE-DAY LIFT TICKET AT WINTER PARK RESORT ($40 off)
FREE LIFT TICKET TO MONARCH MOUNTAIN
FREE LIFT TICKET TO ELDORA MOUNTAIN RESORT
FREE LIFT TICKET TO POWDERHORN MOUNTAIN RESORT
2-FOR-1 LIFT TICKET TO LOVELAND SKI AREA
FREE EARLY- OR LATE-SEASON LIFT TICKET TO STEAMBOAT
$25 OFF A PURCHASE OF $100 OR MORE AT THE SKI SHOP
all subject to black out dates and none of then are limited to mid week.

Might be a stupid question, but how do you see the listings/locations for the movie showings as well as a list of the giveaways for each location/showing?

The Music Hall in Portsmouth has by far the best deal. http://www.skinet.com/warrenmiller/events/the-music-hall

Really not that good anymore:
Weekday ticket to Sugarbush
early season to Smuggs or 2 fer 1 rest of the season
Gunstock flex pass
and Abenaki - local rope tow
Worcester seems better

The only deal I might use from that would be the Killington 2-for-1 or one of the Smuggs options. Sugarbush mid-week doesn't really help me as we don't go ride during the week due to work. If you can use it though, that's a nice perk! Won't be getting to Steamboat late/early in the season to use that either.
We already have passes for Wachusett and we already got 2x Free Early Season (through 12/23 I believe) lift tickets for being 2 of the first 100 in line during their Labor Day Sale. We don't need them now though, so if there's any AZ'ers out there looking for an early-season Wachusett ticket, let me know. If anyone wants 1 or 2 of them, just shoot me a PM. They are physical (paper) tickets/passes that are redeemable, so I'd just have to meet you at the mountain that day or mail them.

I think Albany, NY has the best deal. Add Windham & Gore to Killington, Smuggs & Sugarbush

That is a pretty solid deal. I have yet to get up to Bolton yet, but am visiting some extended family in Burlington this March for the first time in awhile. Was already planning on going to SB and Jay while out there, but now I might have to pick up one of these tickets and sneak over to Bolton one of the days as well.
