Default Mammoth $49 deal evaporates

Earlier this week the deal was 1 or 2 days at $49, and you could pre-load the RFID card for days through next week. Now the deal has morphed into 1-4 days at $69, and it looks like it is good through March.

Must have snowed.

I checked all the way through April and the $69 deal still works. What is strange is if I request a 4-out-of-5 ticket, the price offered is $276 (4 x $69). However, the 5-out-of-6 ticket price is $394 (5 x $78.80?), so that last day effectively costs $118.

It gets even more complicated when the system correctly detects that I turn 65 in March.

You'll enjoy the retired life. Life is good here in Florida. Golfing
and sailing. March is great for baseball. I've already decided to
buy season tickets for the Detroit Tigers next year and spend the
whole month of March in Florida.

Vote for Romney. Repeal the nightmares.

The tickets must be purchased in advance by March 8, according to Mammoth website.

The $69 lift tickets are back. They must be purchased online by March 27 for days beginning March 28 through the end of the season.

Strange ticket pricing:

More strange pricing:

Using senior discount (nominally $76/day) instead of the $69/day special, I get quoted the following prices
1 day -- $76
2 day -- $152 ($76 average)
3 out of 4 days -- $202 ($50 more - $67.33 average)
4 out of 5 days -- $269 ($67)
5 out of 6 days -- $336 ($67)
6 out of 8 days -- $404 ($68)
7 out of 9 days -- $471 ($67)
8 out of 10 days -- $538 ($67)

Using the $69/day special
1 day -- $69
2 day -- $138 ($69 average)
3 out of 4 days -- $207 ($69)
4 out of 5 days -- $276 ($69)
5 out of 6 days -- $336 ($60)
6 out of 8 days -- $404 ($68)
7 out of 9 days -- $471 ($67)
8 out of 10 days -- $538 ($67)

It looks like the advantage disappears after 4 days, and the 4 out of 5 day ticket is actually cheaper without the special.
