FREE LIFT TICKETS – For the past several years, the Ski Free Deals, program associated with Shell Gas Stations across the country has offered guests a buy one, get one lift ticket to various ski resorts with the purchase of gasoline. The program returns for 2015 as highlighted below.
Ski Free Shell Details
The promotion starts January 2, 2015 and runs through April 19, 2015.
You simply purchase 10 gallons of gasoline at a participating Shell gas station. Then bring the receipt inside to the cashier, and they will give you a voucher.
The Ski Free Deals website has an excellent list of Shell gas stations that will participate this year. States include California, Colorado, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Disappointingly, Ohio was dropped from the list this year.
The 2015 participating list of resorts is limited to properties in California, Nevada, Colorado, and Michigan, as listed below. New Mexico was dropped from the list this year.
