Hey guys i'm just wondering the cheapest way to ski on snow in the summer including airfare. the cheapest i could find was mhssc w/ a southwest flight one way then frequent flyer miles the other way. You guys have any ideas?

yea i never used kayak. i tried the actual airline sites then like expedia and all of those sites.

i guess ill be using kayak next time.

and for using other airports. boston is the next closest but manchester is 5 minutes from my house so thats a lot easier for me

Liberty Snowflex is super fun, I'd definitely check it out before fully committing to an expensive summer trip across the country if you're trying to save money.

the airfair might be a bit much (if from U.S) but if you can get to NZ buy a season pass and just stay in a caravan park near the bottom of the mountains it would end up being really cheap with a season pass.

People seem to forget that it is possible to ski all summer without lifts.

You have the plane ticket, bus ticket is 200, hostel is like 20 a day, passes if you willing to pay are like 30 a day, party is really cheap, look for the green house hostel in the internet, that's a great place to stay..

It'll be cheaper for East Coasters to travel West rather than traveling all the to Europe for "slushy" snow...
