GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 23, 2017 Report Posted October 23, 2017 There will reportedly be limited numbers made available to ski clubs. So joining a club gives you an opportunity to get one or more but not a certainty. When do you usually purchase the PASR card? Quote

JFskiDan Posted October 23, 2017 Report Posted October 23, 2017 Wow, just wow. That would suck. Well, yeah, and it will make the math on $$/ski day that much more difficult. If i was in charge of doling out "a limited" number of super discount cards at the ski club, members that show up to meetings/ski events would have first go at super coupon cards, not people joining just to get the super coupon card. Thats just the way i do things though. 1 Quote

I agree with you 100% JFskiDan...I'd give them out to people who attended meetings, took part in summertime BBQs and helped plan the various ski trips... 1 Quote

That is exactly how all of the PASR goodies get distributed. Missed you at the bar night(s)! 3 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 23, 2017 Report Posted October 23, 2017 Ski2Live did you end up getting a goodnight kiss from the guy you took to the Bruce Springsteen concert and split a steak with? 2 Quote
enjoralas Posted October 23, 2017 Report Posted October 23, 2017 Yeah, I won't take my chances. I'll just buy a triple ticket to Camel, a ticket or two for montage when they have their sales. Maybe look for a deal on a day or two at Jack Boulder. I'm not against joining a club and participating, but Princeton wouldn't be it. Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Yes there is some risk this way. Ski clubs do get you eligible for other discounts too though. Like Windham usually offers a one time $30 lift ticket to any ski club member, so that pretty much pays for it right there. Cards become available in early November. Probably going to do less skiing this year than previous years as I am on the verge of signing a deal to record a CD of my original material this winter, with a producer who has worked with John, George and Ringo, Clapton, Carly Simon, Garfunkel, etc. We already have a handshake, just negotiating the paper now. So a good chunk of my free time will be devoted to making the most of this once in a lifetime opportunity. Spent Sat night playing him my songs on the guitar George played at Concert for Bangla Desh.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 Ski2Live do people still buy CDs? Go straight to SoundCloud. If I'm ever at one of your shows I'll either request Freebird or puff the magic dragon. At overnight camp we sang Puff the Jewish Dragon who lived in Palestine.. Be careful if your music producer answers the door in only a bathrob think about all of Harvey Weinsteins victims and don't be a snitch. Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 Not expecting to get rich selling cds or SoundCloud files. I am creating the best possible realization of an artistic vision I have been pursuing for 37 years. If we can get better gigs and maybe even a touch of fame as a result, that will be even more awesome. Odds are definitely against my recovering my expenses, but I gotta spend all the money I saved with skiing deals somehow. Quote
Maksim Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 If i am not mistake, Blue ran the 3 for $90 or $100 on Black Friday for the last couple of years. I suspect they will once again. Quote

Way to get after it...you'll have to come to blue at least once on a weekend morning without the kids to ski with some PASRs.. 1 Quote

eaf Posted October 26, 2017 Report Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Jackson hole booked 1/25-2/2..flying direct out of Newark. A $600 United? Why not some European resort then? Flights are about the same, and skiing/lodging is cheaper. Edited October 26, 2017 by eaf Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 26, 2017 Report Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) A $600 United? Why not some European resort then? Flights are about the same, and skiing/lodging is cheaper.Yeah airfare is $600ish..usually is $500ish one year was only like $420. It's a once a year expense to get me to my favorite ski mountain doesn't really matter to me if it was $800 I'd pay that. Lodging at the 49er is around $80 per night and through central reservations lift tickets are $601 for 7 days or could buy tickets at the window first 6 days of trip for 40% off with season pass and and full price February 1st and would be $602 lol. There are cheaper flights with connections out of philly and Newark but these flights are great times and direct. Anyway I go to Jackson hole every year in late January it's part of my annual schedule going back to 2005. I do want to ski in Europe sometime let me know where these $600 airfares go like the airline and route. I do want to ski in Europe. Edited October 26, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote
