Welcome to Issue #6 of the Lift Ticket Rundown — your weekly(ish) guide to the best lift ticket deals and promos across New England. The season is officially on: cold temps have stuck around, snowmaking is firing nonstop, and early-season conditions are some of the best we’ve seen in years. If you’ve been waiting for the right weekend to get out there, this is it.

DEADLINE ALERT: Before we get into the deals, a heads up that the last day to register for both our ski & stay weekend at Smugglers Notch and our ski & stay weekend at Sunday River is December 28th, but condos will likely sell out before then. There's a little more time to sign up for our Jay Peak trip, but spots are filling up fast. For all of these ski weekends, you get 3 days of lift tickets and 2 nights of slope side lodging for as low as $415 per person.

Now, onto the ticket deals. This week’s theme: extended early-season pricing and some truly standout freebies
