Hi All,

New member here.  Just booked my first Snowshoe trip in 15 years.  Haven't been on the slope for 3-4 due to injury.  Looking to see if there's any way to get Snowshoe lift ticket or snowmobile discounts.  Not sure if that's a thing or not.

Thanks,

CharliMurphy

I think that 3 for all pass sale is expired so you may want to look at their website at least 72 hours in advance of your dates.  Not sure I ever saw activity deals unless you booked thru Snowshoe directly.

The past few years they started selling the Ridiculous Pass in late Feb and it's good for the rest of the season and into next. Depending on your dates that may be a better option.

Welcome to the board and welcome back to skiing.  When is your trip?  How many days?

I know the original poster didn’t respond, but I’m curious too! We are going Thursday Jan 31- Sunday Feb 3. We wanted to do the 3 day pass, but we didn’t purchase in time. We are a family of five, so trying to not spend a fortune and find any deals that may still be out there! Any thoughts? I’ve searched all over the internet, but haven’t come up with anything. 

thanks so much!

At this point, you may need to buy online in advance sooner than later.  Do NOT wait until the last minute as you'll pay a kings ransom for same day tickets

For future reference, ski resorts like Snowshoe that are part of a multi-resort pass like Ikon and owned by one of the large companies (Vail Resorts, Alterra) are unlikely to have very big discounts after mid-December for mid-season ski trips.

Advanced purchase directly from the resort early on that locks you into specific days is often the only option from mid-Jan thru Pres. Day week.

Hey Guys/Gals,

Sorry I haven't responded sooner.  Right now I have a room booked from Feb 8th - Feb 11th.  Wife and I may add Feb 7th to the trip.  Looking at 3 day passes, Friday - Sunday. 

Thanks,

CharliMurphy

I've searched and searched as well with no luck.  I thought for sure maybe Costco or someone had a work discount portal... something.

You should check ebay daily.

Anything I need to look out for when buying these?  How can I ensure they haven't been used?

Supposedly there is a number (on the back of the card) that you can call to verify the day(s) remaining. Alternatively, you can always ask the seller how to verify the card.

 
For me, I've never bothered to verify, I just took into faith that sellers are honest and it's not a scam.  For the past 3 or 4 years I bought the 3-day Snowshoe pass on CL, I haven't experienced any problems (different sellers).

I usually don't bother to go to REI and get the 3 day snowshoe pass in Nov.  I just keep checking on CL, figure there will be someone selling them.  Usually, people used for 2 out of 3 days, sell you the card for 1 day remaining....
