Powder Passport™ Announces Offerings for 2007-2008 Ski Season
October 15 , 2007 (Boston, MA) – Just in time for the approaching holiday and snow-sport season, Smart Destinations, creators of the popular Powder Passport™, is announcing the participating ski resorts for the 2007-2008 ski season. This year, Powder Passport offers 16 of the top Northeast mountains in Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Maine, and Massachusetts. Available online at www.PowderPassport.com, the pass includes all-day lift tickets that can be used any day during the 2007-2008 ski season, including weekends and holidays with no black-out dates.
“Powder Passport is the perfect gift for an avid skier as it offers flexibility at a great value,” said Smart Destinations president Cecilia Dahl. “The holiday season is busy enough, but with the Powder Passport most of the work is done for you. The recipient can choose from 16 different mountains and go whenever it fits into their schedule. You could also treat yourself to Powder Passport and hit the slopes on your time. Season Pass holder or not, this is a great way to try out a variety of mountains.”
Powder Passport offers access to a variety of resorts and mountains to fit your vacationing style. Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly resort, such as Vermont’s Ascutney Mountain Resort, equipped with slope-side hotel or village condos as well as fine dining, or an action-packed weekend with challenging terrain and over 2,000 vertical feet at Vermont’s Jay Peak Resort, Powder Passport is your ticket to the excitement of the upcoming ski season.
New Hampshire has six participating resorts, including Attitash Mountain Resort, Ragged Mountain Resort, Gunstock Mountain Resort, Pats Peak Ski Area, and Whaleback. In addition to Ascutney Mountain Resort, you can enjoy Jay Peak Resort, Bolton Valley Resort, and Mad River Glen in scenic Vermont. Maine offers the Shawnee Peak Ski Area and Saddleback Maine. Experience New York’s Adirondack Mountains at Gore Mountain or the Catskills at Windham Mountain. Massachusetts’ resorts include Wachusett Mountain Ski Area and Ski Butternut—Berkshires Family Mountain.
The Powder Passport comes in 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7-day increments. The card is valid for one lift ticket for each day purchased over the course of the season (November 15, 2007—April 30, 2008). That means you can enjoy all that the participating resort has to offer on any day during this ski season—no black out dates and complete flexibility. Its smartcard technology makes it easy for tourists to visit a variety of mountains without spending a lot of money. Visitors can purchase the Powder Passport online at www.PowderPassport.com.
