HOW MUCH?! SAVING FOR NEXT SEASON VII

 me at Jay 

There are ways to afford your upcoming season. 

I went to the Chill fundraiser in NYC last weekend and got a Ronin (never worn) jacket and Foursquare (brand new) pants for $60- and the money went to the Chill foundation! Check out your local swaps. 

At a lot of film premiers, free lift tickets are given. We got Sunday River tickets at Jeremy Jones's Further premiere. Gore, Jiminy Peak, and Sugarbush tickets will be given away at the new Warren Miller's Flow State (http://www.chestnutmtnproductions.com/warren_miller/warren_miller_nyc.htm). At TGR's Dream Factory they are giving Sunday River vouchers (http://www.tetongravity.com/films/the-dream-factory/tour/). You can also win prizes at these premiers. Last year the giant won a season pass to Killington at the TGR premier! I'm sure there will be sweet prizes at this Yes premier and Hood to Woods fundraiser- http://www.facebook.com/events/292458844206391/?notif_t=plan_user_invited
