Mess Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 I like bringing my kids to Montage but will probably not be happening this year. The Montage Triple Ticket is $179 for the extended ticket. Which is about $60 a ticket. Their Open to 4 pm ticket regularly costs $58. Not much of a deal for me. JF is $159 for 3 pack. Camelback and Shawnee have 3 packs for $129. Looks like I will be going here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momskeeztoo Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Doesn’t Blue have a deal? Although if your kids are, little Shawnee is a great place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 $165 at Blue for 3 pack. Although I just chatted with someone at blue and they are going to have $49 single lift ticket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toast21602 Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 None of these sound like deals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Schif Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Sounds like buying a pass is the real deal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless your kids are Double Black Diamond Skiers like skitoolive's kids, i would stay away from Blue and Cameltoe on weekends. Frost would be probably the least crowded always, and normally the snow is good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 I like JF too but hoping they have single day lift tickets. Son is a good skier daughter learning. She is going to get 4th grade free ski pass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PSUFly Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 $ 179 for a 3 pack is pretty terrible. They're offering $ 10 free for every $ 40 in gift cards. If you have a AAA card, you can get an extra 10% at the ticket window/customer service desk. The gift card deal plus that might be better, but I don't even know what their regular ticket rates are any more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 A few years ago I was able to get $25 lift tickets through cbs local deals. It was worth driving the extra 30 minutes for that rate. The most I would be willing to pay at Montage is about $40. It is great for low crowds and a great place for the kids to learn but only if the price is right. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They did away with it last year. They lost my and a lot of other peoples business when they did away with that. I'd see a lot of people with the half day tickets in the morning that, like me, aren't going to pay for a full day ticket there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 A lot of ski areas have gotten rid of morning tickets which stinks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Being able to ski double black diamonds at Blue does not a double black diamond skier make, but it was good for their "skigos" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s when I wish my parents lived in town still because they likely would have something I could regift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Santa doesn't skip our house just because we get new furniture. And purchasing furniture is something people do when they don't live at the ho-tel, mo-tel....Holiday Inn.Maybe I'll catch you later if these delivery people get here already. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
