Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Hunter Mountain and neighboring Windham Mountain have teamed up for a second year to offer the Wintercard, good for two days of skiing at each area, for a total cost of $129.

That breaks down to $32 per lift ticket.

The Wintercard is available until Dec. 24, and is valid during non-holiday periods through the season.

 "This is a great way to cross-promote, and to offer our guests another place to visit when they spend time in the northern Catskills," said Hunter's Brian Czarnecki.

The Wintercard is on sale now. The card is valid through the 2008-09 season, except for peak holiday periods (Dec. 26 - Jan. 4, Jan. 17-19, and Feb. 14-22). Unused visits cannot be carried forward to next season. It cannot be replaced if lost or stolen.

The card is the result of the resorts' partnership with Greene County Tourism, and seeks to offer deals encompassing the northern Catskills region. Hunter and Windham are minutes apart and offer over 100 trails between them. The northern Catskills are located two hours from the New York metro area.
