Whistler/Blackcomb EDGE Card Returns If you're a Washington State or Canadian resident, (you'll need ID) the EDGE card is back, and the deals are better than ever. Whistler Blackcomb’s EDGE Card has always been the best way for residents of Canada and Washington State to get the guaranteed lowest rate* on lift tickets. For years, it’s been the only choice for savvy skiers and riders looking for value and convenience. Ten Day is $58.00, Five Day 63.80, Single Day is $64.00 Whistler says buy before November 21, 2008 and you'll get all this: Ski & Snowboard School gift certificate - worth $100 Equipment & Outerwear coupons - save up to $150 Exclusive $99 LODGING offer - book by Oct. 31, 2008 Proof of residency, and photo ID will be required to pick up your card. What is an EDGE Card you ask? Available to residents of Canada and Washington State, EDGE Cards come pre-loaded with 1, 5 or 10 days and are valid anytime from November 27, 2008 to June 14, 2009 (200 days). Once your loaded days are used, your Card continues to get you a discounted rate anytime you visit. Coming to Whistler with two or three weeks notice? Take advantage of their Last Minute Hotel Deals program, which we happen to think is pretty cool You won't know where you're staying until the last minute, (sneaky, but we get it) still, if you're on a flex schedule, it's a great way to save on one of North American's greatest resorts. Whistler/Blackcomb Crystal Mountain Discount Ticket Books are back! Do you ski or snowboard often, but not enough to justify buying a season pass? If so, discount tickets are the way to go. Each Discount Ticket Book contains 5 transferable vouchers redeemable for one adult all day lift ticket, valid any time during the 2008 – 2009 ski season. Buy 5 Adult lift tickets for just $275 (that’s a $5 savings per lift ticket)! Purchase your discount ticket book online or off-site at one of many greater Puget Sound locations (not available in stores until October 1st). Hurry — sales are limited and the offer ends December 31st. Please Note: All daily lift rates include Washington State sales tax. Crystal Mountain The Summit @ Snoqualmie *The Summit at Snoqualmie The BIG S UNLIMITED GOLD pass (formerly the Unlimited PLUS! pass) offers you all-access to The Summit and Alpental PLUS 5 days at Crystal Mountain, 10 days at other Boyne ski resort properties*, a sweet retail discount, and more! This is the ultimate season pass to own for any dedicated skier or snowboarder offering tons of snow time options for 2008-2009. Check out benefit conditions as well as applicable Boyne Resorts here. The prices jump again October 31st, so it's a good idea if you're looking for a pass to get it now. Adult pass for as little as $499.00 The Summit Big Sky! The locals probably don't want you to know what a huge mountain Big Sky has to offer, and for good reason. Imagine having a resort with Vail-like Vertical, but without the big city destination draw. We like it at SOTC as a fantastic ski and snowboard getaway, and we'll give you the deals you need to ski and ride it cheap! 15x SKY CARD FREE - 14 days of skiing/riding Lock in your savings for the season. If you are a weekend warrior, this is the pass for you. Save as much as $31 per day. Plus take advantage of the bonus free ski days to bring your total skiing to 29 days!
