Ride Delaware ? Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Pick from a slew of mountains. Can only use 1 day at each mountain and it's $130. Some blackouts apply, but it could save you a bunch on a 3 day VT ski trip, especially if you hit the pricey resorts. They move fast. Ski 5 went on sale at midnight at was sold out within hours. http://skivermont.ltibooking.com/#all Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Posted October 1, 2014 Nice I think root posted about this in the gear thread!!!I didn't have time to look through every thread and didn't think it pertained to gear. Please feel free to merge or delete. Quote
RootDKJ Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah, I was too lazy to make a new thread and figured the gear thread was getting enough hits. I went in for the SkiVT5 pass. 1 Quote
RootDKJ Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Oh yeah, Jlaw put me down for 2 today so far. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah, I was too lazy to make a new thread and figured the gear thread was getting enough hits. I went in for the SkiVT5 pass. I'm going to get the Fox 44 discount card again which includes a bunch of the mountains that might be worth a $43 lift ticket (Burke, Smuggs, and Jay), and I already have a Killington discount card, so the only mountains I felt were worth it were Stowe, Stratton, and Okemo. Plus the ski 5 was sold out when I got to it. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) This is a great deal. Edited October 1, 2014 by RidgeRacer Quote
Mess Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Does anyone know if you can use this for 2 days in a row at the same resort or do you need to go to different mountains each day? Planning on a trip to Okemo this year Quote
trackbiker Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Does anyone know if you can use this for 2 days in a row at the same resort or do you need to go to different mountains each day? Planning on a trip to Okemo this year The tickets can only be used once at any resort. There are three or five stubs on the bottom. Some resorts make you sign the stub and check off their area on the top part of the pass. Others don't bother and just take the stub. Okemo is one of the resorts that usually checks off the area so you couldn't use it there again. They are also blacked out holidays and Presidents week. I've been using this for at least 6 years. It went up $5 this year but it's still a great deal. I will also get the Fox44 and WNEP cards again this year. I'm thinking that the WNEP card will likely include Montage this year. It wasn't included last year I guess due to the ownership transition. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Posted October 1, 2014 I thought you get free lift tickets because you are a patroller!!!Like I said before, I can get some at some resorts, but you have to have a letter from your patrol director. I come and go on a whim, so it's really not that practical. I'll score 13 lift tickets between Fox and this for about $250, so I have no problem supporting organizations and businesses for that cheap a price. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Posted September 30, 2015 Bump Ski 3/5 go on sale tonight at midnight. Hopefully I'll be able to find the link. Great price for some of the premier mountains. I will post when the Fox 44 comes online as well. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Posted September 30, 2015 For those of you who haven't seen this deal, here is last years flyer. https://www.ocskiclub.org/events/VTSpecial2014_3and5PassRules.pdf Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 How much is it Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Posted September 30, 2015 Last year it was $130. I'm assuming it will be similar this year. Savings are maximized when you use at the expensive ones (Stowe, Sugarbush, Stratton, Okemo, and Killington), but it can be used at any on that list... Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Prob doesn't matter for you since you're a patroller and can ski free at other resorts. They make out cause alot of people prob but the 3 time pass and only use one or two days or none. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Posted September 30, 2015 I wouldn't have used all mine if I didn't use the last two at Killington late season. Like I said, we can get comped at some mountains (some don't), but it's a gentleman's rule. I can't use it lots of days. It's once or twice a season. If you abuse it you lose it. So, with some places I will get it to avoid that or cover if they don't comp. Quote
Justo8484 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Can you use all three at the same place on back to back days? That's a stupid good deal for Stowe or killy, if so Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Posted October 1, 2015 Can you use all three at the same place on back to back days? That's a stupid good deal for Stowe or killy, if soYou can't use them back to back or at the same resort. It would be ideal to do something like Stowe - Bush - Killington, but that's how it works. One ticket at any 3... Quote
Justo8484 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 So you'd have to do something like Killy Friday, something Saturday, Stowe Sunday? And then another random day somewhere? Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah, you get 3 tickets (or 5) but can only use one at a resort 3 (or 5) different ones... Quote
RidgeRacer Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Ugh... My old ass won't make it to 12. I'll check in the am. Thanks for the info rideDE. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Posted October 1, 2015 Ugh... My old ass won't make it to 12. I'll check in the am. Thanks for the info rideDE.That's when they have typically put them online. I'm assuming it's the same. It's not advertised well. I bought mine last year at 8:30 and they only had the ski 3s left. However, you can buy multiples of those and they will only cost you about $10 more. Well worth it. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Posted October 1, 2015 Link above still works. Just snagged 3 (1 for me, 1 for pops, and 1 for a buddy). Enjoy guys. Vt Ski 3 = $130 Vt Ski 5 = $205 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Just went to buy one... Sold out Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Posted October 1, 2015 I think you just missed it. Reports on AlpineZone have people still snagging them at 9. Sometimes they release a second set. I'll let you know if I hear anything. 1 Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Posted October 4, 2016 2016 bump. Tickets go on sale tonight at midnight. I believe the pricing and rules are all the same. Quote
