September 2011 - Skiing Reviews

Quebec's Mont Sutton will be unveiling two new triple diamond
glades this season along with two somewhat tamer glades. The
new glades are called: Crocodile, Entonnoir (funnel), Extase
(ecstasy) and Seduction.

They've also added 33 new snow guns to line the popular
Dynamique trail and a new Tucker Sno-Cat to help keep
things groomed up to par.

On the old Chair VII riders will be delighted to find new back
pads to improve the comfort level on the ride up.

At the start of the season, Sutton will active its new 3D interactive
trail map where customers can upload their photos and videos.

BROMLEY'S $229 SEASON PASS

September 26th 2011 14:23

About a decade ago, US$199 ski area season passes were all
the rage. Ski areas discounted their "admission tickets" to the
action to get customers in the door. Once there, marketing
directors had high hopes they would buy overpriced hamburgers,
drinks and forget-me-not items from the onsite ski shop.

Over the years, the one-ninety-niner pass faded from the ski
and ride scene but this year, Vermont's Bromley Mountain has
come back with a US$229 Midweek Season Pass.

Their discounted pass is valid Monday through Friday except
during two holiday weeks. The pass also includes a few perks:

--10% off retail purchases
--The pass is valid on Martin Luther King Monday.
--Pass holders can purchase 1/2 price midweek tickets at
Jiminy Peak in the Berkshires.
--On March 24th, the Midweek Pass is valid seven days per week.

This pass is a great deal for the money. After October 12, the
price goes up though: US$329. Passes can be purchased online.
