Smugglers Notch Feb HS ski trip
Where else could you possibly get both lift tickets and lodging for as little as $30/day/person!
but with homeschool group rate at Smugglers' Notch, Vermont "America's Family Resort" The best value for family fun... anywhere!
Smugglers' Notch Homeschool Group Ski/Snowboard Trips:
*January 9-14, 2011 (was totally awesome - fresh powder every day)*
*February 13-18, 2011*
*March 6-11, 2011*
The incredible rates they are offering our group include:
Accommodation and lift tickets for everyone in your condo for the length of your reservation, including day or arrival and departure
They are now allowing our three-night option a *flexible* start day (Sunday,
Monday, or Tuesday); the five-night stay still requires the Sunday check-in
to stay entirely mid-week. This means that the arrival day can be a
mid-week day (with fewer people on the slopes and short to no lift lines).
Best Deal Examples listed below - remember that lift tickets are included for day of arrival (before 6:00 pm check-in) and day of departure (after 10:00 am check-out) *and* that they are allowing our group to exceed the max occupancy listed on their website, including the extra lift tickets (which means *much* better pricing, but also that the extra people might need to
sleep on a couch, floor, or cot), *and* that the rates they are giving us include taxes, fees, and gratuities (so no extra surprise fees such as 14% extra added to any rate you see listed on their website). *The rates they are giving us range from about 20% - 80% less than their web pricing!*
*The following prices include accommodations and lift tickets; the per person breakdown of lodging/lift ticket cost is for comparison only. Other size units available - check http://bluegreen.us/skitrip/ Notice that these rates are cheaper than lift tickets alone, yet include lodging and lots more (listed below)*
*Five nights (six days of skiing, Sun - Fri)*
1-bedroom (occupancy 4) allowing us up to 6, lift tickets included is $1648
total
with 4 people = $68,67 per person per day
with 6 people = $45.78 per person per day
2-bedroom (occupancy 6) allowing us up to 10, lift tickets included is $1854
total
with 6 people = $51.50 per person per day
with 10 people = $30.90 per person per day
*Three nights (four days of skiing, starting on either Sun, Mon, or Tue,
with checkout on Wed, Thu, or Fri):*
*1-bedroom (occupancy 4) allowing us up to 6, lift tickets included is $978
total
*with 4 people = $61.13 per person per day
*with 6 people = $49,75 per person per day
*2-bedroom (occupancy 6) allowing us up to 10, lift tickets included is $1133
total
*with 6 people = $47.21 per person per day
*with 10 people = $28.33 per person per day
