A couple of weeks ago, I posted about a super cheap crowd funded deal to shred Saas Fee for the winter, possibly the best offer for skiers on a budget this winter. As of today, Saas Fee have confirmed that with the sale of 75,000 passes, they will now honour the offer and everyone who has signed up will get their passes. For the next 4 more days you can still opt in to the deal even though it's now guaranteed. Simple enough, 6000ft vertical (all of which was open last weekend) for $220.
