You'll also find some ski school deals at Winter Park. You can sign up for the Easy Start program, for those who want a first-time lesson, and are over 13 years old. A half-day lesson and lift ticket is $49. It’s another ten bucks if you throw in rentals. A three-day package is also available. The cost is $177 for lessons, lift tickets, and rentals. Call 800-729-7907 to make reservations.

Another deal to consider is for those who want to book a lesson more than seven days in advance to get a 10 percent discount. There are a few restrictions, but it pays to plan ahead. Call 800-729-7907, but be prepared to sit on hold.

Finally, happy birthday to the Mary Jane side of Winter Park. It’s been 34 years of bumping fun at the Jane.
