Budget Finds: Ski Deals and More

Today's Budget Finds exceeds the normal $25 budget, but with good reason: a ski trip is virtually impossible for less than even $100. But believe it or not, it is possible to ski without breaking the bank, even without a car, a lodge, or your own pair of skis.

You see, it was only last year that I learned how to ski. I imagined I'd enjoy the speed and adrenaline factors, but I never thought I'd have sufficient coordination or--gasp!--athleticism to get off the bunny hill. I'm still not fully convinced about my athleticism (let's not kid ourselves), but I can safely say that I picked up the sport swiftly and committed myself to making up for lost time. By my counts, I still have 20 years of not skiing to account for!

Clearly, the budget factor kicked in. And that's when this link right here saved my life (and my new-found hobby). With a list of one day ski packages from NYC (including transportation and lift tickets) that all clock in at under $100, this is a real golden nugget to keep on your favorites bar. Some resorts even feature lodge accommodations as low as $99 for a four-person suite, which comes out to our perfect budget finds number: $25 a pop.



Plus, a little bird told me that Megabus is giving away free bus tickets! Use the promo code "greenbus" to get access to free fares between January 14 and March 23. I just booked a few for myself! Talk about budget finds...


pssssst! If you decide to plan a ski trip, will you please invite me to come along? I'd just love to join you :)
