2013 BOGO Ski Free Lift Tickets via Shell Gas Stations

Cold, snow, and frost may not get most people too excited. Heck, I am not even that big of fan of living in the Cleveland tundra. However, the one aspect of winter that does excite me is skiing, especially after last seasons mild winter. What excites me even more is that Bug (3) is finally of the age where I can teach him, and hopefully he enjoys, skiing.

I have hopes of getting to take Bug to some of the local bunny hills and having some of the professionals teach him a thing or two before he heads out onto the trails with me. I know there will be some apprehension to get over, but hopefully he can conquer that fear and learn the fun of hightailing it down a hill.

For those in areas with actual snow mountains, scoring a deal on free or cheap tickets may be more difficult. For the past several years (here is the 2012 Ski Free offer for reference), there has been an offer through Shell Gas Stations of buy one, get one lift tickets with the purchase of 10 gallons of gasoline. The promotion starts January 2, 2013.
