Jackson Math: $50 = Free

An offer from Jackson Ski Touring to cross-country ski teams:

"Dear Coach,

Here’s a cost-effective way for your team to train this winter: ski
in Jackson for free!

For $50/person per night, [emphasis mine]your team stays overnight at the AMC’s Joe Dodge Lodge at Pinkham Notch, N.H. Dinner & breakfast are included in
this special rate.

Jackson Ski Touring provides you with the largest Nordic trail system
in the East, including our FIS Homologated Courses.

Book this combination packages for $50/person during weekdays in January.

Our brochure describes all the details..."

That's right! Receive this FREE offer for just $50! That's ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Sure, I know what they mean. Throw some dough to the AMC and you can play on Jackson's trails during off-peak periods and admire their 100% homologated trail while you're there. I'd forgotten about all the homologation they had done. Once you've gone homologated you never go back to ordinary ski trails. I lie awake nights remembering how that homologation felt.

Brother, have you ever been homologated? I mean more than just once in college as an experiment?

So...scrape up $50 for your free skiing! While you're at it, if you send me $1,000.00 I can begin processing that huge lottery jackpot you didn't know you won.
