Windham Mountain s deadline falls on Oct. 31. November deadlines Gore and Whiteface have an interchangeable season pass. It depends on how many days you expect to ski or ride and whether or not you want to tie yourself down to one resort. There are other ways to save money. Skiers with a taste for variety and a flexible work schedule might do just as well by keeping tuned to special bargain days offered at ski shops or by ski areas.
Most bargain days fall on non-holiday weekdays, but some apply to night skiing.
One friend enters each date into his computer as soon as he learns about it and uses the print-out to schedule his days off from work. Another friend tracks the specials with her Palm Pilot, but an ordinary paper calendar will do. I will keep you abreast of these special days as I learn of them. It quickly pays for itself. Cardholders ski free after April 1.
