Spring is beginning to move closer. The snow is still falling, but it melts quickly. It won’t be long, flowers will begin to poke their heads up, and trees will begin to sprout leaves. The winter is fading fast and our local ski resorts are approaching the end of the season. Mystic Mountain at Nemacolin Woodlands closed for the season after last weekend. Several others have announced their closing dates while others have started their spring hours.
The good news is that these are the times for some of the best deals of the year. The springtime is the best time to purchase your season pass for next year. Many resorts offer major savings on season passes. In addition, several of the local resorts will allow you to use your season pass for next year, for the rest of this season also. You may find that even the single day lift tickets will be available at a greatly reduced price. In addition, you may find specials on lodging, rentals, and possibly lessons at some resorts. So get out and take advantage of the savings before the resorts close down for the year.
