Justin Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 It's looking like me and n0xidee will be taking a trip to Stowe from 12/21-12/23. Skiing 12/22 and 12/23. This is my first VT trip, so I have no clue where to stay. Looking for the cheapest place possible, any recommendations? No problem if it's a bit of a drive from the mountain. I did some research and the cheapest place that was availible on gostowe.com was $79/night. I know you guys know where to stay, any help would be appreciated. It's probably going to be me and n0xidee, maybe another. So maximum of 3 heads. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan- Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 A shitty picture, take a bit to early, but it was a good weekend... 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 you should go here: http://www.vermont-home.com/ski.htm or maybe we should all chip in and buy that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Cheapest place I could find was the Mountaineer Inn at $89/night. I think some other places were booked because I noticed a lot less choices this morning. Anyway, the total cost comes down to $195.80 for 2 days 3 nights, with a max occupancy of 4. Split three ways thats about $65 a head, which really isn't bad. With the $150 2 day lift at Stowe and food it should be around $300 each if n0xidee can use his gas card.

toast21602 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 you should really ski 3 days and stay 2 nights. the way you are doing it is either a waste of a day skiing, or a waste of money to pay a night that is not necessary.

Dan- Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) lift tix for 2 days is 150, holy shit... I had a 2 day lift ticket 2 years ago it was around 110 or something. And wow, stowe is really starting to rape people on prices. 79 bucks for a day ticket... Edited December 16, 2007 by KnuckleDragger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Yeah I meant 3 days 2 nights. It's booked. We found a place called the Hilltop Inn in Montpelier, 29.2 miles from Stowe. $67/night, came out to $151. Works out to be $50 a head for lodging. Stowked!!!!

Seems like kind of a far drive to go 30 minutes to and from your lodging. Oh well... Got a hot tub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0xidee Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 The only thing we could get closer to the mountain would have been like 120 a night, so i would rather make the drive cause gas is free. And the hotel is really shitty so no hot tub. They do have a pool, but it might not be disease free so I think I will stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorovr Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I've found that Vermont lodging is usually very cheap right after New Years. Most of the families go back to work or school around the 2nd or 3rd, so hotels love to keep the rooms booked for another couple days. I've done some calling around to go up like the 2nd-4th and have found rates between $60-$80 a night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the drive, plus we're cooking breakfast in the parking lot with my camping stove, make our own fresh sausage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the drive, plus we're cooking breakfast in the parking lot with my camping stove, make our own fresh sausage doug and i stayed around 30 miuntes from mount snow when we went up. We were only paying $80/night for our steeze suite, though. 30 minute drive is nothing, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0xidee Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Being someone who has to drive nearly an hour and 30 mins when i want to ski around here, 30 mins is like next door to me plus being able to ski in vermont, makes it that much better.

n0xidee Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hey if you wanna come, a fourth person would cut down the cost. Leave friday come home sunday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0xidee Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 aww ur such a good buddy. Is it weird that I am hoping for not a huge dump cause my skis won't float? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0xidee Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hahah alright. I guess if you can float in non fat skis, all 140 lbs of me should be able to also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrwilco Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 did anyone get the AAA rate since its AAA approved? might be able to save 30 or 50 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 did anyone get the AAA rate since its AAA approved? might be able to save 30 or 50 bucks We'll ask the front desk....they can probably discount us. But were kind of keeping it hush hush that a 3rd person is going to avoid the double occupancy fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0xidee Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Yeah I have a AAA card I will use when i get there. Also since u are under the ripe age of 18 even with the 3 of us, we won't get charged with the double occupancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
