When the clock turned 5:22pm on September 22nd I think I may have been the only one celebrating the end of summer at my work. Some people looked at me as if I were crazy for wanting summer to end, and others just looked at me as if I were crazy. In any matter I was extremely excited for summer to end so that fall could hurry up and pass by. Yes, yes, the leaves’ changing colors is always a glorious sight to see, but being a New Englander, I have gotten used to the fall foliage, and it is not too exciting any more.
What is exciting, however, is that with fall underway, this means that ski season is fast approaching! I probably started looking into buying a season pass to Sunday River back in July, but maybe that is not something that I want to admit.
Anyway, here are some of the deals that you are going to want to look out for at Sunday River this season.
First of all, I think I am more excited for ski season to start than Sunday River is because their lift-prices are still up from 2008/2009. They still have their deals up where from “now” until April 26th you can ski for very cheap prices. They are also offering their “cute” Sunday River Affair deal where Sunday through Friday for the “rest of the season” you can show a valid 2008-09 season pass from another resort, and you can purchase a lift ticket that day for $39. I guess those are deals to look out for in the way distant future?
In any case, here is the deal on season passes for the 2009-2010 season. They are offering their New England Pass this year; this pass enables you to hit up the slopes at Loon Mountain in New Hampshire, Sunday River and Sugarloaf in Maine. If you want to purchase a pass, whether it be gold, silver, bronze, the best time to do so would be before October 12th because the prices get hiked up after that.
However, the best deal still is the college student ticket; if you know you can get up there this season, buy it. It’s unlimited skiing at three amazing resorts for $329! Who could pass up that deal?
