Free Skiing For Seniors: A Directory From Skiing History Magazine
There are dozens of ski areas that offer free skiing to seniors.
Join the ISHA to receive Ski History Magazine
SeniorsSkiing.com’s partner, the International Ski History Association, has just published an incredibly valuable resource for senior skiers. In the November-December 2014 issue of Skiing History Magazine, there’s a directory of where seniors can ski for free or for discounts in North America. Thanks to ISHA President (and Seniorsskiing.com Advisory Council Member) Seth Masia for this important information. Consider joining ISHA to receive Skiing History and other benefits such as DVDs and subscriptions to popular skiing magazine. Also a nice gift for ski buffs.
Mike is the co-publisher of SeniorsSkiing.com.His skiing career started at Song Mountain NY in his college days. He worked for SKIING magazine in the early 70s, learned to love cross-country, took a 20 year hiatus from skiing and came back to short skis and efficient boots. When Jon Weisberg suggested there should be a site for senior skiers, he joined him in developing SeniorsSkiing.com.

Could you direct me to a free ski list for 80 and over skiers
Pat, We no longer publish the Free (or Deeply Discounted) pass list. Multiple purchase deadlines and other factors made it very difficult to track. As a rule of thumb, smaller areas not owned by Vail Resorts or Alterra are more likely to offer senior discounts. Check my Short Swings! column this Friday for a link to a well-documented list of places with reasonably-priced season passes that offer privileges at other areas.And, if you’re are planning to visit an area, check its website. Sometimes there are some pleasant surprises for older skiers (e.g. Alta, at least through this season, offers free skiing if you’re 80 or older, and Powder Mountain is free if you’re 75 or older).

Is George Jedenoff still with us?
I just checked in with all six north Carolina ski areas and all of them are offering great discounts or free passes to seniors. There is a tremendous range due to dates and age so it is best to check each specific area. A great place to start is goskinc.com which has all kinds of good info on all our areas.
