BURLINGTON, Vermont — Summer is too short in Northern Vermont, but now that fall is near we can look forward to skiing and snowboarding again. Stowe Mountain Resort season passes are now on sale and there are many opportunities to save hundreds through October 30.

Stowe’s Marketfest Promotion in and around Church Street gives you the opportunity to save hundreds of dollars on an Adult 7+, Adult 7 or Adult 6- day season pass. Save your receipts from participating retailers and restaurants in Burlington now through October 11 and bring them to our Season Pass office by October 18. Stowe will deduct the total of those purchases, up to $350, from the cost of your season pass. You will also receive a free Stowe Card, a $75 value, when you have just $25 in receipts. The Stowe Points Card is good all year-round for discounted skiing, snowboarding and golf. For more information about this promotion, participating merchants and pricing please call 802.253.3500 or go to http://www.stowe.com/tickets/specials/page1843/

If $350 of ‘found shopping money’ isn’t enough fun, you can search for one of many hidden Stowe Golden Goggles at participating merchants and be entered to win a secret Stowe prize. Contest instructions are attached to the goggles.
