WILMINGTON, N.Y. --- There’s still plenty of great skiing and riding heading into what may be the final two weekends at Whiteface Mountain, in Wilmington, N.Y.  Another eight inches of snow fell on the Olympic mountain just last weekend and here’s your chance to explore the 81 open trails while taking advantage of the warmer temperatures, longer days and super savings this Sunday, April 6, during Retro Sunday, presented by Bud Light.  Ski and ride the Olympic mountain all day for just $40 for adults, $35 for teens and $30 for juniors.

While at Whiteface, you’re also invited to participate in the annual international pond skimming contest, which begins at noon.  Contestants will be judged on distance, splash and costume. The event is limited to the first 100 entries, so be sure to register at the mountain’s guest services desk.

After the pond skimming contest, and a full day of skiing and riding the east’s greatest vertical, join the party in the Cloudspin Lounge with live music from three musical guests to include Annie and the Water, the Byrd Grass Band and Lucid. There will also be drink specials from Bud, Bud Light and Jagermeister. 

Also be sure to grab your 2014-’15 SKI3 pass for Whiteface Mountain, in Wilmington, N.Y., Gore Mountain, in North Creek, N.Y., and Belleayre Ski Resort, in Highmount, N.Y. This is one big deal.  Combined that’s 7,000 vertical feet of skiing and riding on eight peaks, 886 acres, 33 glades and 227 trails. 

The SKI3 pass is available through April 25 for just $759 for adults and seniors, $399 for young adults and college students and only $299 for juniors. Plus skiers and riders, who are 70 and older, can purchase the pass for only $210.

For those looking to ski just Whiteface next season, there’s still the very popular Whiteface Only Non-Holiday pass for just $459, when purchased by April 25. Get your pass now and ski the rest of this season free.
