Anyone with a 2008-09 season pass from any other resort will receive a free lift ticket. The normal weekday price is $41 for adults and $33 for children 11 and younger.
Early Bird Tuesdays -- Buy a lift ticket by 10:30 a.m. and save 50 percent.
Wendy's Wednesdays -- Buy one lift ticket on Wednesdays and get a second one for 99 cents with a coupon from participating Wendy's retaurants.
Love a Stray Thursdays -- Get a lift ticket for half-price when you bring a 5-pound bag of cat or dog food that will be delivered to local animal shelters.
College Fridays -- Current college students who present a valid identification card will receive a lift ticket for half-price.
Sundays Are For Kids -- All children 11 and younger will receive a half-price lift ticket.

Resort spokeswoman Anna Weltz said all of the offers must be redeemed in the ski/snowboard ticket office, and cannot be combined with any other coupon, discount or group rate. For more information, call the ticket office at 1-800-452-2223, Ext. 7913.
March Military Package (available Sundays through Thursdays) -- The package, which starts at $79 per person, double occupancy, includes:
One night's lodging in the hotel; unlimited skiing from 4:30 p.m. the day of arrival until 7 p.m. the day of departure; breakfast buffet; one two-hour snowtubing session; one family-sized pizza with one topping; one round each of miniature golf and bowling and access to the indoor swimming pool and exercise room.
Up to two children age 12 and younger are free on this package when accompanied by a paying adult(s). The price is subject to change and availability. There will be an additional charge of $15 per person, per night, for a slopeside room.
Weltz said the discounted package is an expression of the resort's appreciation "to our country's military personnel."
