Money Saving Ski Dealsby Michele Cheplic | More from this Blogger 17 Dec 2007 10:40 PM As I mentioned in previous blogs, Mother Nature has been quite generous to skiers this season. Slopes from coast to coast are blanketed with the white stuff. Which means finding a deal at ski resorts might be a bit tricky. The following ski specials were published prior to last week's winter blast and might have limited space availability by now. Though it doesn't hurt to check, especially if you are looking to spend part of the holidays shooshing down a mountain or shredding on a half-pipe at one of the country's top resorts. CALIFORNIA Mammoth Mountain is offering a Midweek Madness Lodging Ski Package, which includes lodging and all-day lift tickets starting at $120 per person per night. (Note: The lift tickets alone are valued at $55 each.) The deal includes a standard room with a queen-size bed (but no kitchenette) at the Mammoth Mountain Inn. The resort is located about 300 miles from Los Angeles and offers 3,500 acres of skiable snow in the eastern Sierra Nevada region. The deal runs from January 8-31, 2008. COLORADO Crested Butte.
