The brochure rack in the ski and snowboard department at the Potomac Yards Sports Authority was full of brochures from the Pennsylvania Ski Areas Association. Part of each brochure is a coupon good for $5 off a midweek ticket at 22 ski areas in Pennsylvania. This is probably all of them. I checked the PSAA website, http://www.skipa.com , but I did not see the coupons online as well. The coupons aren't good on holidays, and in the unfortunate event that the ski season goes beyond May 1, the coupons will not be in effect past that day. Yeah, I'll be crying too. There seems to be no limit to the number of times you can use these coupons.

No doubt the brochures can be found at real ski stores too. I know I'm supposed to be supporting the real stores, but I was at Staples.
