We all know snowboarding is an expensive sport! Not only are tickets and gear expensive but i'm sure most of you don't live at the resort, so factoring in traveling also cost a lot of money too! Luckily in my case I live at a resort and have had snowboard gear. so all I really have to do is buy me season pass. What about you guys whats your situation?

Now that I don't work on the mtn anymore I look for deals. Subscribe to facebook and newsletters of the resort pages, they will let you know the hookups. Also you can contact the marketing dept of the mountain directly and they will clue you in on coupons available and whatnot.

For us local riders, things have gotten pricey there so we haven't gotten season passes for the past two years. What we do now–Another local resort has a night ski/ride deal every Saturday night from 4-8. 18$ each, they show snowboard movies and have beer and flatbread deals also. We try to go there every Saturday-Our local library has a deal through a resort, you sign up in advance through the library and they offer 30$ day passes. This is usually offered every other Sunday throughout the season.-Our local Mobil gas stations run a deal where after 3 fillups you get a coupon for a buy one/ get one free ticket at several VT resorts. We use this often as well.-Our last option is to voluOur local resort has gone disney- they went from a rural family winter resort to a four season mega resort complete with indoor waterpark and championship golf course.

Our nearest resort sponsors all local schools to ski and ride once every two weeks, and adults who volunteer to help with the kids get discounted tickets. We always try to pick the “advanced” groups so we can take off and ride with them all day, for free! -
