Skiing on the Cheap - 2017-18 Edition

[bdfreetuna]

Plus pretty much every year BV floods the market with $39 coupons.

Yep, and very good deal especially on weekends when Bolton is unlikely to have more than a 3 minute lift line (max).

Also very nice because I can use my Ski VT 5 & 3 passes at far more expensive places like Stowe + Sugarbush... even though I'll probably have more fun at BV anyway.

If you're not a NY resident you can get this free "Mountain Pass" that gets you 30% off at Greek Peak, Song, Labrador and Toggenburg. Good for you and 3 family members...

I'm thinking about taking my 6 year old twins out that way for a trip. Love checking out the smaller places and have never been to any places in Western NY. Figure it's good to take them now before they only want to go to bigger places. Plus a number of places let 6 year olds (Swain and Bristol are actually 7) ski for free. Maybe even get to see Cornhead at Greek!!!

Preliminary plan...

Belleayre (gotta check out the gondola)
Greek
Bristol
Swain
Hunt Hollow
Labrador/Song
Toggenburg

Any advice is welcome, thanks.

do you think they accept oversees residence permits. I have one that looks like a drivers license and expires in May.

I won a pair of passes to the Boston show this weekend and can't use them. If someone wants them please dm me your email and I'll forward the passes on.

The $39 ticket coupons were around at the Albany Ski show with a show special of 4 tickets for $100

Sorry no link, but Jumponit.com or myjumponit.com has Middlebury Snow Bowl midweek tix for $17.50. Go...trust me. If you hit this gem right when Bailey Falls chair is also running this 1000 ft vert mountain skis much bigger. I often use this on the way to MRG or SB. Nice glades, cruisers and uncrowded.

It's not glitzy and doesn't have HSQ, but who cares. Terrain and vibe are really nice.

No bar either.

So the Champlain ski and ride card continues to get worse every year.

The price is $149, but they lost Gore to go along with them losing Jay Peak a few years ago.

Bolton Valley
Bretton Woods
Burke
Cannon
Mad River Glen
Middlebury Snow Bowl
Owl's Head
Smuggler's Notch
Suicide Six
Titus Mountain
Whiteface

If you don't mind traveling & you're not very SOTC savvy, it's not terrible, but realistically there are cheaper deals out there, and many of these places are spots skiers dont want to ski at. Plus the travel required to extract value from this card is really going to bite on the real cost.

It's sad, as this used to be (IMO) the #1 deal in east coast skiing, now it's just meh. Havent bought it in about 3 years, and I wont buy it this year either.

You sound sad.....:sad:


Tell ya what I gonna do........ I'm gonna use the Power of GraySkull to set this right!

Bam! Gore added back and $50 dropped off the price point....


http://www.localsyr.com/ski-card


There ya go... Happy now?


Oh, and by the way if you get one of these and don't want to go to some of the "spots skiers dont want to ski at", feel free to pass them days on to me. I love the "spots skiers dont want to ski at"..... it's kinda my thing.

:beer:

 

[Jully]

That is last year's card sadly.

 

[deadheadskier]

I still think it's a great deal. If I were to go back to roaming instead of getting a pass, I'd be all over it.

Realistically I'd ski Bretton Woods, Cannon, Burke, Bolton, MRG and Smuggs. $25 a day works for me. I'd also love to ski Owls Head, Middlebury and when I last got it I did ski Suicide Six and enjoyed it. So, $16.56 a day? That's nothing to turn your nose up at. Unlikely I'd hit 9 uses, but the couple of years I bought it I got at least 6 days in.

Transaction went through, probably last year's late season slash price. I'm expecting them to offer me a Goreless card for $149...Judge Judy here I come!
