BOLTON VALLEY (VT)
Huge ski & snowboard sale this weekend at Bolton Valley. New stuff too, not just old found crap.
GRANITE GORGE (NH)

JACKSON HOLE (WY)
The Grand Pass is $1,275 until 9/1/13. Then it goes up to $1,695. So that's 130 days of riding/skiing. If you rode 130 days it would be around $10 a day. Or, if the lift tickets are $117 (which they are) then you ski/ride around 11 days to break even.
You also get half off tickets at all Mountain Collective Resorts (Aspen/Snowmass, Squaw/Alpine Meadows, Alta/Snowbird, Mammoth Mountain, Whistler/Blackcomb).
Student passes are $299 until 10/1/13 then they go up to $815.

You get your pick of resorts for four lift tickets from: Homewood, Sierra-at-Tahoe, Bear Valley, or China Peak. Four lift tickets for 50 bucks is pretty sweet, but you also get free tunes at five different shops and some discounted lift tickets.
