Day 4 – Skiing & Snowboarding Rentals, Passes and More
The Poconos is famously known for our skiing and snowboarding – during the winter tourists come from all around the Tri-State area of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey to come ski & snowboard in the Pocono Mountains.
If you’re looking for a gift for a friend or family member that is already an avid skier you may consider a season pass or new equipment. There are still some great early season deals available at area ski resorts. Due to Hurricane Sandy, Camelback Ski Resort extended their early offer deal to December 9th, 2012 – you can check out their money saving deals on their website: http://www.skicamelback.com/Tickets-and-Passes/Season-Passes.aspx for as low as $199 for the year it’s a gift you can give that will last your loved one the entire winter.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a gift for an occasional or first time skier/snowboarder, consider a ski or snowboard rental and day pass to get them started. Right now you can get a deal at Living Social from The Loft for a One-Day rental of skis or a snowboard for just $12. I actually bought this deal for our son who likes to ski and has a pair, but would like to try snowboarding this year, it’s much more affordable then investing money in something he may change his mind about in a week. Now if you purchase this deal and 3 friends buy it as well through a specific link assigned to you, you’ll get your deal for FREE.
To really theme and embellish the gift you can throw in some extras like goggles, boots, gloves, a helmet or even a helmet cam. Wrap it all up in a scarf and you have a great themed gift anyone would enjoy.
