Cost friendly ways for college kids to ski the Granite State

One of the many benefits of living in New Hampshire is that students are in driving distance from the mountains, and currently, the ski season is in full swing. Since tickets to larger resort mountains can be close to $75 dollars, I have made a list of mountains that have great ski deals for you skiers and riders out there who fit into the category of shamelessly poor college students. So for the love of bombing down a hill at full speed, read on!
