Hi, are you the skier or snowboarder?

The ski season is on!

Published 3 months ago • 4 min read

Issue #4/2025-26

Skiers and snowboarders, waiting is over - snow is now in the mountains! It is good beginning of the ski season! I spent already 8 days on snow. And all of them memorable! Okemo, Stratton, Mt. Snow, Sunday River... all great mountain on their own!

Back to Calendar.

There still are some trips available in February and March 2026.

REQUEST - the mountain wants to have the orders finalized 60 days before the trip! And we already experienced this limit in January. When order is placed late, the price is going up.

So, if you are interested in in Ski Week in Sunday River - Feb 22, Sun- Feb 27, Sun, 2026 the deadline to sign on is in 2 days, cutoff is on Tuesday 12/23/2025! Please let me know ASAP! Money can follow later, but I have to put room list before Tuesday!

We are non profit organization created for this purpose - make skiing more affordable for everybody! This calendar covers only Sunday River weekend and week-long ski trips at this issue. There should be more destinations, deeper into the season, though.

HOW TO ORDER CMSG TICKETS? (Where do I fit in it? Z

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.

I repeat - to order the trip, please, make your mind, write me (in my name) the checks for event (*date).

The check offers no penalty change of the payment (if early enough).

At time sensitive cases (last moment), I will accept other forms of payments (Zelle, ApplePay, Venmo etc.)

Mail the check to this address, please:
