NH Ski Areas - Lift Ticket Deals

IrishEyes · 12-13-2007, 07:05 PM

Like many of you, I did not purchase the Threedom Pass this year. With the $200 increase in mid-week rates, it didn't seem worth it. I put together a list of ski areas with their respective lift ticket rates and deals and thought others could benefit from my research.

Ragged Mountain is offering $6/day lift tickets from Monday, Dec. 17th to Friday, Dec. 21st to benefit the "Make-A-Wish" foundation.

Crotched Mountain: $9 all day on December 18th

Let me know if I missed any deals..............

Yup, the dynamics of ski prices have really changed since last spring. A WV one day full-bore price ticket went from $39 to 61, and the Value Threedom went from 300 to 500, and it stopped being sold as of Dec 1.

I dug deep and bought one. Better to be broke, but still on the slopes!

Heard that it will be going up again for next season, too.

Oh well, the ski areas use skads & skads of very expensive electricity and diesel fuel to to keep all their white stuff in great shape.

Oblivion, a top-to-bottom lower intermediate favorite was open for the first time yesterday, along with Gema, Valley Run, White Caps, Tippycanoe, Lower Tippy, Tyler Too, Sel's Choice, Periphery...are all open.....two inches fell today, and 6-10 in the overnight are predicted, or something, so this is the most happening ski season in about a million years.

How the heck everyone will pay for the gas and the tickets is beyond me? How do everyday normal people, who are not the BMW'ers afford to go skiing?

It must be nice to be able to afford lake front property, boat and have the extra cash just hanging around to buy skis, ski pass and afford the gas to drive to WV.

Life must be good! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm must be that NH advantage.:

I agree Fatlazyless seems to be doing quite well. Maybe the state didn't raise his view tax up far enough!! I'm sure he could afford to contribute a little more. I'll bring this to Hillary's attention the next time she is stumping in the state.

K fellas, I'll post it here again, I drive a little '99 Chevy Tracker w/ 135k miles and a soft top. Bought it last February for $2500!

Does this sound like a rich man's car?

And no, the soft top no longer leaks, having fixed it, thankyou very much, with some Liquid Nails roofing gunk and a few bolts and fender washers.

Now....back on topic...I have been seeing those dogsled vehicles: pickup trucks set up with six doggie pens and six dogsled doggies inside and a wood dog sled on the roof....heading up to the north west end of the 14 mile long Sandwich Notch Rd....for dog sled practice.

Open to motor vehicles in the summer, the one lane Sandwich Notch Rd bisects the Sandwich Notch Wilderness Area, and gets shared by a few very hardy cross-county skiers, sno-mos, & doggie sledders.

If you want to see the bluest blue eyes you ever seen, go look at a sled doggie tied to the snow!

It's lookn like a very happen'n winter...so MUSH you doggies.........MUSH!
