LINCOLN, New Hampshire ??” Loon Mountain, gravity’s playground, is preparing for the vacation weeks ahead with two feet of much-welcomed natural snow and some very attractive lift ticket offers.

The Grand Slam 4-Pack is an excellent way to save big money. This pass entitles guests to four non-consecutive days of skiing and riding, anytime during the 2004/2005 ski season, for less than $45 a day. $179 buys the Loon Grand Slam 4-Pak online at www.loonmtn.com or on-site at the snowsports desk.

For skiers and riders who plan ahead, Loon is offering a great vacation week deal. Skiers and riders who buy lift tickets online, at least one week in advance, can save as much as $14 off regular rates Tuesday, February 22 through Thursday, February 24. It’s an easy and convenient way to save some money when lift tickets usually sell at a premium. After visiting Loon’s e-store at www.loonmtn.com, shoppers may select “Lift Ticket Reservations” and the discount date of choice. Tickets will be mailed for added convenience.

For those who prefer to do their snow sliding a little differently, lift-serviced day, and night tubing will be in full operation during vacation week. Day tubing operates from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and night tubing begins at 6 p.m. Rates are $12 an hour for lift-serviced tubing and $7 for walk-up tubing.
