Wintergreen Season Pass – $169 Group Rate
Hey boys and girls! I know you’ve seen the Snowshoe pass deal already and are wondering how could anything beat it?! Well Wintergreen’s not going to do it, but it’s still not bad. For the 2007-2008 season, we’ve knocked another $10 off last year’s already discounted rate of $179. So that means that 169 dollars gets you a season pass …
Snowshoe Season Pass for $200… That’s Right, Not $500
Alright peoples, I got excited when I found out that Snowshoe was starting a college pass program this season.

Why settle for 40% off? =) After a few calls …
