The snow is melting fast, only to be replaced with some fresh stuff this week. Rain and fifty degrees is just about the worst conditions you can have for snow to survive in Central New York during the winter time. Generally, when you have the weather going so far to one extreme, you will see the pattern swing dramatically back in the other direction. And that will be the case for this Tuesday thru Friday with several chances for some snow and a real cold blast to hit. By Wednesday morning our ski surfaces will be much improved and should be great heading into next weekend. Enough said about the weather pattern and how it affects the ski slopes.
This week at a ski area near you…Toggenburg is teaming up with Madison County tourism and offers a $25 lift ticket if you stay at one of 8 participating hotels and inns. That is a savings of 20 bucks off their normal price. Details on this special can be found at http://www.madisontourism.com/StayandSki/. Another lodging deal has popped up over at Greek Peak for those that like to ski and stay during the weekdays. Set yourself up in the new Hope Lake Lodge and Indoor Waterpark for three nights for the price of two. Just make the first night of your stay on a Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.
Here is a recession buster coming up for sale this Friday morning at 5am. Skiing and boarding in Central New York is about to get 50% less expensive. You may remember the Half Off CNY Skiing Package that I mentioned last winter in my blog and ski reports. Well it is coming back again this year and for only $80. The certificate, worth over $160, will get you a single lift ticket at each of four local ski and snowboard areas for use the rest of this winter. With surprisingly good conditions currently and a couple more months of the season left, this is a great deal. Give it a look!
Let me know how your recent trip to a local ski area has gone. Just post a comment right below this Blog about your trip so other readers can hear about it. Better yet, take a digital picture and shoot it my way via email at mbrookins@CNYcentral.com. I might show it on the WSTM NBC-3 Television ski report next week! Happy trails…
