It's so friggin' cold in Crested Butte, but, it's not that far away (everything is relative when you live in Telluride), and free is a mighty powerful incentive...hmmmm...may just have to make a trip that way...I'm sure there's SOME reason I need to go to Gunnison. :becky:

Here's a good one: Belleayre Mountain in New York State is offering skiers and riders a $25 Lift Ticket on Christmas Day. No restrictions, no catches -- $25 will be the walk-up window price on Dec. 25.

Belleayre also has their "customer appreciation days" once a month, where lift tix are $15. The next one is January 18.

ETA: We also got the X2 card at Stratton, which gives you a $10 to $30 discount every time you ski and a free day of skiing. Current cost is $79--it was somewhat less before Thanksgiving, so definitely look for these kinds of things way before the season starts. Oh, and I won a free lift ticket the second time I tried that online raffle.

Thanks for the tip, Nannymin.

I noticed Mt. Snow and Killington is no longer on the participation list. They were last year.

Hey nannymin, I went to the Mobil-3 website and it looks like there's not nearly as many resorts as you listed, and the discount on there says it's for $15 off an adult lift ticket... is there another website or am I missing something?

I'm not sure what is going on...I copied directly from the brochure and coupon that I received yesterday. I just checked and they are from this season. :confused: I'll ask the next time at Mobil.

Just found this one:

And $10 off at Hunter, Whiteface, Smuggler's Notch, Wachusett...

(Still going through the list at AE... Here's the link: https://www.amexnetwork.com/travel)

I'm going to recommend Skican for a way to save on a ski vacation. We haven't left yet, but they saved us $$$thousands$$$.

Seriously, we wouldn't have been able to afford it if not for Skican and you can get an immediate quote online.

We leave Feb 4th :yahoo: :cheer: :ski: :dancing:

I can't wait!!!!

For those who are skiing the Catskills/Berkshires occasionally, Potterbrothers (a ski shop) has a bunch of discount tickets for specific dates throughout the winter. It's dirt cheap (19.99-24.99) for almost all of the "well-known" resorts in the Catskill/Bershires.

You'll just have to keep track of which date it's on at which mountain! :smile: Oh yeah, it's not all for weekdays either. Lots of Sundays, too (and some Saturdays). -- Nop, it's not a typo, under $25 for a weekend day.

In general, almost all ski shops sell discount tickets. Some of them really quite a good deal. This past Saturday, I skied Catamont for $36. About as good as it gets for weekend on a sizable mountain. No restrictions on holidays either. So check your local ski shop first...
