I think it stated it will be sent to your email on or around 12/2, when the survey is complete.

I received my Liftopia $5 credit in today's email. It was a reward for filling out their best ski areas survey last month.

Bohemia and the Freedom Pass for 2016-17 (and beyond)

They dropped the $50 buy in, all season passholders of the collective get 3 lift tickets at the rest.

It will be interesting to see how the Freedom Pass deal will work beyond the 2016-17 season. Bohemia offered it for only $99 (for a limited period), but I didn't notice that any of the other participating areas followed suit. I wonder if they will next year, and I wonder if Bohemia will be allowed to offer such a great deal in the future.

I considered pulling the trigger on Bohemia this year, too, but held off. Living and working in Virginia doesn't afford many chances to drop by for a few runs at McIntyre, Magic, et al.

Got the ski and snowboard expo email recently too. I hadn't checked my promotion folder on gmail (Where all liftopia emails go for me by default) in a few days.

If you were a VT resident a youth pass would be $99 with no additional fees & the same pass at Mount Bohemia with fees $115. Three passes (1 adult & 2 juniors) at Magic would have been $447 vs $345 at Mount Bohemia. Bohemia's deal is cheaper but imho if I was a resident of VT I believe that deal is even better. Unlimited trips to Magic & the proximity to more areas available for the Freedom Pass.

Curious to those that have done the pass and received the passes/receipt - do we just use that sheet of paper to ski at other participating Freedom Pass mountains or do we get something more pass like from Mt Bohemia?

I emailed Mt Bohemia about the question above. The reply, "Do not use your pass till after dec 13
Please show your email reciept and drives liscense at the ticket window" Thought others might benefit from the info

Shell was typically a mostly western and Midwestern deal. Irving has been pretty good in the past. They have a new phone app this year so it might become a part of that.

I can't believe this deal went to litigation as someone complained the ski free ticket wasn't actually free. I'd be surprised if they continued with this program as it only became a 2.2 million dollar headache.

Sounds like Bohemia is anticipating partners not wanting to honor the reciprocal tickets. Perhaps there will be a class action suit if they renig. From Bohemia's website.

I can't see mountains not accepting the reciprical days. If 500 people use it at a given resort that's a potential 1500 extra skier visits spread over an entire season. Many will spend on F and B, and many will be exploring new resorts for the first time, hopefully to return. I do however think this may be a one season deal. I could see the cheap pass be not eligible for Freedom benefits in the future.

Wow what an absolute a-hole. Who on earth would do that!?

 

[dlague]

Attorneys, because class action lawsuits result in a few dollars for the claimants and 100's of thousands of not millions for the attorneys. It is a racket. Like the attorneys using Google Earth to find hotels that are not meeting ADA requirements. Or sueing companies of all sizes for websites not meeting ADA rules.
