Summer's been fun but we live for the cold. The leaves will soon change, the kiddos are going back to school and our eyes will be glued to the thermometer as snowmaking season will soon be upon us. We'll say goodbye to summer with our "Back to Ski Sale."

ATTITASH & WILDCAT, NEW HAMPSHIRE

3 TICKETS FOR $149

3 days of skiing at two of the East's most scenic resorts located in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire, just 3 hours from Boston

Seems like a good deal... Can't remember if they offered anything any cheaper last year.

I think they had a 3 pack sale similar to this. Mount Snow then had one at like $169 or something.

Seems to be a decent deal.

Last few years they had a deal where you could buy mid week tix for $35. Transferable

Any idea if a Utah version of this exists? It may make the most sense to get into one of these BOGO cards especially as we'll be there midweek vs locking into specific mtns.

There's the Yeti Pass which is good for 1 ticket at each Utah place, but costs $649.

Ski Vermont sells packs that includes 5 days at every ski area in the state. The early purchase price is $1995. Because it is Vermont, blackout dates do apply.

Oh, that's the kind of deal I'm looking for... mostly mid-week stuff.

That usually shows up around the time of the ski show in Boston.

The lack of a vertical value card this year makes finding deals for AttiCat a much higher priority if you're not a passholder.

 

[catherine]

If memory serves, the last few years the deadline to purchase is sometime in Sept.

The Max Pass just added Okemo and Sunapee.

Yeah, I think I'm just going to spring for a Peaks "Traveler" mid-week pass, for $499. Wish I'd of had the money at the time to grab one in the spring for $299, that was a great deal. Just have to get 15 days use out of it to get it down under $35 per day...

Along with my Express Card for Kmart...

Aren't joining the Ski Clubs a better deal than this? I guess with this though, the discounts are valid any day while the Ski Clubs are not every day?

Not trying to discourage, I'm genuinely curious... still trying to figure out the cheapest way to get our fix!

Point me towards a ski club that has more/better deals in Vermont, I'd like to know. One of the nice things about cards is not having to order tickets in advance from the club. A lot more convenient and less planning involved. Typically lower price than ski club membership dues as well.

I'll probably renew my Mountain Sports Club membership, as it's cheap and helps me fill in the gaps my other ski season savings strategies leave wanting. On the fence with the Vermont Travel Club Card.

For comparison I think the VT Travel Club Card offers a lot better savings than the Ride and Ski Card especially if VT is your primary destination.

Depends on which ski club discounts you're talking about. Discounted ski club appreciation days are only offered on specific days at various resorts during the season. On the other hand prepurchased discounted bulk lift tickets are good any day. There are no blackouts for holidays or weekends.

Some ski clubs charge as little as $30 to be a member.
