10-22-26 Ski Calendar for 2026-27 Ski Season...

Skiers, as you well know, our Central Mass Ski Group (CMSG) was providing heavily discounted ski trips (hotel & lift tickets) for New England resorts for last 30+ years!

It has changed this season, unfortunately...

The CMSG suspended its activity as of October 2026. I was very surprised myself…

Still, our skiers are already asking me, when will Group calendar be published?

So, I talked to Sunday River management and found out, that there is still a chance to proceed with our trip(s).

Let’s give it a try and begin with one December trip and later, based on your response, we can go further and book more trips further in the season.

So, what I need now, is you signing on Sunday River Ski Trip Dec 11-13, 2026.

If you can make your mind and let me know (E-mail/Text ASAP), that

-you want to go and

-pay for accommodation (hotel) later, we still can do it.

It has to happen relatively quickly

-sign-in before Oct.29, 2026 and

-paying for it before Nov.5, 2026,

then we should be able to get promised rates.

IMPORTANT: hotel cancellation is not possible. The best option is to find someone replacing the person, who cannot go. If lift ticket cannot be picked up, it can be rescheduled or refunded (usually voucher in SR money to use there for a year).

Dec 11-13, 2026 Grand Summit Hotel $211 per person (Room/studio rate: $422 for two)

Price is for 2 nights lodging, double occupancy (2 person), includes all taxes and all other charges except lift tickets

Lift Tickets (skier buys online w/discount code) Sunday River Resort will provide discounted lift tickets to skiers for this date: 12/11/2026 - 12/13/2026

Adult (19-64): 1 day = $79/ 2days = $109/ 3days = $159

Where do you get the tickets?

You buy your lift tickets yourself online (I can help, if you are in trouble) and you pick up your RFID GoCard (touch-less readout at the lift gate) with preloaded lift tickets, just presenting your ID to Sunday River host. It's almost always in "Group Sales" kiosk (QR code from online purchase comes handy), office, booth at the mountain. They have your name already from your online purchase.

The kind of lodging we offer in Grand Summit (and Jordan Grand) Hotel - you have to buy space for minimum required, which means:
If it says: Sleeps 2-4. You have to pay for at least two skiers lodging.
If it says: Sleeps 4-6. You have to pay for at least four skiers lodging.

Most of our skiers prefer having kitchenette in hotel, so their choice is:
-STUDIO SUPERIOR (Sleeps 2)
-STUDIO DELUXE (Sleeps 2-4)
-ONE-BEDROOM SUITE (Sleeps 4-6)
Please indicate the kind of lodging on your order.
