I am almost certain that Gunstock eliminated the discount passes for Belknap County taxpayers. When they did offer the discount, all that was needed was a copy of a tax bill from a town in Belknap County. There was no residency requirement, only a requirement to be a taxpayer. But again, I don't think they offer it any more.

They still show the Tuesday discount that was asked about:

Quote:

Belknap County Club Tuesday: $25 Prime Time lift tickets for Belknap County Residents. Proof of residency is required.

http://www.gunstock.com/winter/tickets/

The former season pass discount for residents is no longer offered except for age 70+.

Suggest a call to Gunstock to get an official answer as to what proof is required.

www.liftopia.com .... has anyone here purchased a discounted, one day NH ski lift ticket through liftopia and were you happy with this service? Apparently, you pay online at least one day in advance at a deep discount, and then pick up your lift ticket at the ski area ticket window on the specified day ..... does this seem illogical or something....but then again like who cares....if it works, then it works?

Liftopia is popular in the Rockies. The site been around for years. I have yet to use it when I ski on the east coast.

Skinh.com is another website that will post discounts. You can also check the resorts websites as well as chamber of commerce websites for additional discounts. I never pay full price!

It is actually cheaper for me to ski out West, the mountains are huge and with discount tickets, you get more bang for the buck.

I use to ski Gunstock since I was four. When they did away with the residence pass and jack the prices sky high, the mountain itself went from awesome experience to a bunny slope. You don't see to many regulars from years ago ski there. Bill promise us the moon and exciting things will happen. All I see was a 3 million dollar expansion of the beginner's quad and a zip line that does not turn me on. If they can bring back Fletcher Hale and the Precipice, maybe I will come back. Wildcat and Cannon remind me of Gunstock of the past. Today the only Gunstock rival is Bretton Woods as King of the bunny slopes.

Ragged Mountain has better value. Even Gunstock competitor for the Boston market, Wachusetts is a better value.

If you like chilly skiing on 15 trails of loose granular, Bretton Woods has a $12 special on 12/12/12 (tomorrow). http://brettonwoods.com/specials/spe...ffers#12121212

I use Liftopia frequently. I've purchased tickets for Sunapee, Gunstock, Waterville and Cranmore in the past 2 years. No issues.

Liftopia is totally legit FLL.

It works if you know you are going that day. They are not transferable to someone else and you cannot get a refund. Just something to keep in mind.

I have used it once for Wildcat. Skied on a Sunday for $27.99!

fatlazyless · 01-04-2013, 11:18 AM

Could be a big turn-out day at Waterville what with some pretty decent conditions and some 31-high & partly cloudy Tuesday predictions; $20- ski WV, Tuesday-January 8, 2013, 9am - 4pm, www.waterville.com

Must be some other similar deals up at Cannon & Wildcat or somewhere? Cannon and Wildcat are mountains, while Waterville is pretty much just a big intermediate hill and at twenty dollars is not a bad deal. Reg price would be $63, except there's probably almost nobody who actually pays the full daily rate what with all the different deals out there..... ?

If anyone reading this has ever actually paid the full $63 price and is not a foreign ski-tourist from China or Venezuela or Massachusetts or some foreign country, then they must be too rich to know or care?
