free or reduced price birthday skiing?

I remember that this used to be the rule more than the exception.

Does it still exist anywhere in the NW?

yeah maybe that was the problem ...

My birthday was a couple weeks ago, and I was looking for such a deal, but didn't find anything. BUT, there's plenty of free stuff around town on your BDay. My favorite is the free mud pie dessert at The Ram. Here's a pretty extensive list of free stuff:

Happy Birthday!

Free golf might be better bet if it stops raining. Avalon in Burlington provides a free birthday round (on the exact birthday) and Sudden Valley in Bellingham (within one week, signup required). Both are pretty nice courses but obviously better in the summer than in December.

Stevens Pass used to have free skiing on your birthday. I always took the day off (when I worked) as did my wife on her birthday and we would fill the car. Quite a loss leader. 3 bought tickets and one free, mostly mid-week.

A few years ago they stopped. The marketing director emailed me that they ceased because some people felt that if their birthday was not during ski season it was unfair. (Don't quite understand how if something is good for someone else it has to be bad for me, but...)

Other ski areas who have a "ski free on your birthday policy" have a summer conversation date: e.g., June 1 birthday=ski free on December 1, etc.

At any rate, on my birthday I always feel like emailing Stevens and saying, "You could have sold an additional 3 tickets today."
