Stumbled upon this site today and it seems like a pretty cool idea. So far it has 8 resorts participating in different regions of the US. It's relatively new but I'm sure it will quickly grow to accommodate more resorts. Check it.

Hey peeps,

feel free to send any questions my way about this (Liftopia). I am a new guy here at newschoolers, but we are happy to take any flak, critique, suggestions, or questions.

We are hoping to add more areas as the season moves on, and hopefully we can hook you up with some solid deals this season.

Yup, we recognize that our selection is modest at this point, but are going to be doing our best to add more resorts as the season moves along. We are constantly trying to build up trust within the resort community, and hope to be a value to both them and skiers.

Thanks for your patience, we will get some more options.

Hey Windhamskibum,

Windham does have some inventory in there, just not for all dates. One of the features we are working on is a price-availability tool, so that you can check all prices for all dates. If you are interested, however, here are some date ranges when Windham has tix available...

(they have some available sooner, however their opening day is still TBD, I will let you know if I find out the exact day).

12/05-12/07, 12/12-14, 12/19-21, 01/01-4, 01/09-11, etc.

Mostly midweek stuff at this point, but with good discounts, and we should see some more weekend pricing relatively soon.

Thanks for your patience

So this new site pops up and someone that works for it joins newschoolers the day that a thread about it is made? and the creator of the thread has no affiliation with it......?

Pretty confident that the creator of it doesnt have an affiliation with it... unless someone isnt telling me something.

I responded to the thread because I saw it pop up as a referenced link from our tracking software...

To address the Canada question, we are able to have Canadian resorts participate, and hope to add more as time goes on. Again, thanks for your collective patience as we fill out our inventory.

Thanks Gfeller...

Definitely not trying to spam folks, we are hoping to listen some more to our potential customers and add services based on feedback. We are totally open to critique, so feel free to send any my way... Also, want to help educate people on the best prices out there, so if anyone is curious about one specific partner of ours, let me know.
