Think Ski NH

While the calendar says “summer” and temperatures are above 80 degrees, officials at Ski NH have announced they would begin selling ticket packages for the 2007-2008 ski season on today at 9 a.m.

This year’s “Anywhere, Anytime Ticket Packages” offer skiers and snowboarders discounts averaging between 25 and 50 percent off weekend and holiday lift ticket rates for ski areas throughout the Granite State.

Each package consists of fully transferable lift tickets valid any day during the season. No blackout dates apply.

Tickets can be mixed according to the preference of the buyer and fall into three pricing categories; $20 for Balsams Wilderness, Black Mountain, Dartmouth Skiway, Granite Gorge, King Pine Ski Area and McIntyre Ski Area; $35 for Cranmore, Crotchet Mountain, Gunstock, Pats Peak, Ragged Mountain and Waterville Valley; and $45 for Attitash, Bretton Woods, Cannon Mountain, Loon Mountain, Mount Sunapee and Wildcat Mountain.

A minimum of 20 tickets must be purchased and no more than 50 percent of the tickets can be for one ski area.

Skiers and snowboarders ordering ticket packages of $1,000 or more prior to Sept. 1 benefit from added savings of between 5 and 20 percent.

Early purchases are recommended as tickets to the larger ski areas tend to sell out quickly.
