Maine resorts launch unique learn-to-ski program
Sunday River and Sugarloaf have teamed up with three smaller Maine ski areas to launch a unique – and what we expect to be wildly successful – way to encourage and create new skiers and riders this winter.
The new "Maine Learn to Ski and Ride Card" will allow novices the opportunity to experience skiing or snowboarding over a two-day period at one of the state’s less-intimidating mountains - Lost Valley, Titcomb, or Camden Snow Bowl - before graduating for a day at one of Maine’s larger resorts, Sunday River or Sugarloaf. At $89, for three days of skiing, rentals, and a lesson, it’s a great deal.
The card will provide the following:
Day 1: Ticket, rental, and lesson at Titcomb, Lost Valley, or Camden Snow Bowl
Day 2: Ticket and rental at Titcomb, Lost Valley, or Camden Snow Bowl
Day 3: Ticket and rental at either Sugarloaf or Sunday River.
The cards will be available for purchase at Camden Snow Bowl, Titcomb or Lost Valley. For more information, visit www.sugarloaf.com or www.sundayriver.com.

That's a great idea, it helps cultivate future customers while getting bodies to the resorts in the short term.
Besides, since many of these "never-evers" are kids, it's likely that their parents will generate additional resort revenues through lift ticket sales, food & beverage purchases, etc.
I recommend Titcomb!!
