Ski Deals for Winter 2011-2012 in the Albany Area

Contributed by Will Thomas

Don't pay a penny more than you have to for skiing this winter!

There are plenty of ski resorts you can drive to from the Capital District. Where can you get the best value for your money? What are the rates? What places have specials, and when?

Will Thomas is a local dad and KidsOutAndAbout.com reader. He and his sons are avid skiers. Each year, Will compiles a list of the best family ski deals in our area, and this year, we are benefiting from his research. He has found easy ways to pay less for skiing, with resources like Price Chopper, Getty/Lukoil, and other specials. The rest of our Albany readers join us in thanking you for sharing this with us, Will!
