Hunter Mtn: free skiing for any season pass holder

Planning a jaunt to New York in the next couple of weeks? Hunter Mountain, just a couple of hours from the city, is accepting season passes from any mountain in the world on 25 March.

So whether you have a pass for Vail, Val d'Isere or Glencoe, the generous folks at Hunter will give you a free lift ticket. (As long as the pass is valid for the 2006/7 season of course.)

And from 19 March until the end of the season, they'll give you 50% off mid-week tickets and 25% off weekend tickets if you flash your season pass from another mountain.

What's more, winter is showing no signs of abating in New York state. Hunter has reported a massive 21 inches of the fresh stuff in the last 24 hours! (The pic here was taken at about 4pm local time yesterday when the snow was starting to fall.)

Check out the details of the special offer.
