Snow has two positive uses: it can be used to build snow-jurors when neighbors don’t show up to serve in a nonbinding apartment court, and you can ski on it. Enjoy snow fun without faux litigation with today’s Groupon to Mt. Crescent Ski Area in Crescent, Iowa. Choose between the following options:

• For $17, you get a one-day junior lift ticket, valid for skiers aged 6–12 (up to a $34 value). Kids aged 5 and younger receive $5 lift tickets.
• For $19, you get a one-day adult lift ticket, valid for skiers aged 13 and older (up to a $39 value).
  
  

Thanks to 20 hard-working snow-making machines, skiers and snowboarders of all levels can zip down nine different runs reaching up to 2,000 feet, and also enjoy night skiing at this western-Iowa resort. Although gravity will pull patrons inexorably toward the bottom of the slopes, two chairlifts return as many as 3,600 snow surfers to the top each hour, where they can take in views of the ski area’s 50 acres, test their mettle on trails such as the challenging Double Trouble Chute, or make a snow-sculpted diorama of the entire cast of Happy Days. Afterward, skiers can warm their toes in the newly renovated two-story lodge and replenish their bodies with a drink from the Mountain Cafe & Bar. Guests can also rent skis and snowboards, take lessons, or conquer the slopes on an office chair.

Mt. Crescent Ski Area’s rates fluctuate throughout the week. Though Mt. Crescent Ski Area features discounted rates for college students, military members, and seniors aged 65 and older with a valid ID, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
