Default ....when the Pats win today!

When the Pats win the super bowl today, skiing will be free at www.waterville.com on Tuesday, Feb 3 .... and that's what it says in the website so it is probably true!


.....good golly....if skiing the whole mountain is really free on Tuesday then maybe I'll feel guilty about it and actually buy one of their yummy cheeseburgers for 7.63.....just to help them out with their large electric bills.......like wow....free skiing on Feb 3....let's go Patriots.....beat Seattle....and go extra heavy on the mayo!


....no, on second thought, one can buy about six+ cans of good quality tuna at walmart or hannafords for 7.63 with no 9% tax built into the price

Default Tuesday Feb 3.

Times like these when all the 'freebies' and discounts are midweek. I can't wait to retire! Shop is close today so I have to use personal/vacation time. If WV was free today, you know where I will be!

...you are incorrect! ...... according to www.waterville.com the lifts are all free on Tuesday, Feb 3, 2015 if the Patriots wins the Super Bowl....which they did when Serena Williams intercepted the ball in the end zone!

...you know you can go to www.Waterville.com and with a couple clicks, under recent live-cams, see an hourly web-cam photo of the infield base area, last shot at 11:21-am, that shows how many people are queued up at the Valley Run lift, and how many of the main quad lift 4-seat chairs are loaded to get an idea how many are at the mountain...and it actually looks pretty empty right now....despite the unusually low price of a no-charge lift ticket.

Will go see what's up at the www.Loonmtn.com website to see if they also have this similar type of photo?

Unless I missed it, Loon does not have an hourly web-cam photo in their website?

Default Saddleback in Maine

has a Super Bowl Special tomorrow. Free skiing and riding.

Saddleback and Waterville are some of the few family owned ski areas. Looks like family owned areas are a nice bargain compered to the big conglomerates!

We have skied at Cannon the past 2 days, great conditions and not very busy. As we are both NH residents over 65, we both ski for free Mon-Fri

Also, on Wed NH residents (under 65) ski for $25 and on Tue and Thur anyone can for $48.

On 12/18/14, the 65+ ski free was not advertised. Now it is. In the past it was available all season. In April I will be 65, time for some great free skiing until I hit 70 and Gunstock will be free.

Default Crotched Mountain

Advertised $14 all day all lift tickets on 2/14! There is usually wind blowing from Canada so the wind chill will be a huge factor! If you have not skied CM lately, it's been drawing a crowd from Gunstock and Wachusetts.

Yikes $74/2 = $37 is less than $48. Now I am wondering how I ever got a degree in engineering

Ten dollars to ski today, Tuesday, February 24, at Waterville Valley. Last Tuesday during Massachusetts school vacation week, it was $75/day, and today, Feb 24, it is just ten dollars, and most likely, what with the cold temps, it will not even be very busy(?).
