lift ticket sticker shock

[gmcunni]

Going to CO for a long weekend in Feb and started checking out the lift ticket options for where we'll be skiing. OUCH, $92 for a single day ticket :blink:

i think there is a multi-day option that works for us but still, $92 for a single?

Got any friends out there? Last I went my friend was getting me buddy passes off of his season pass. Brought the price down to 50-60 or so. Or ... don't ski Vail/BC.

Check liftopia.

I'm going out next week and I've spent the last few weeks looking for deals. I found a 2-1 deal to cooper but that was it. I'm only skiing two days so I'm paying the $92 one day. I thought $73 to Loon was bad.

Check liftopia.

Liftopia has some deals, at least the weekend i'm there.


I'm skiing Keystone, Breck, ABasin + Copper. Looks like the mountains have a 3 day deal that covers 3 of them but copper. i'll check other discount outlets as well.

guess i'll build a spreadsheet to figure out best options.

That's the cheapest way into Copper I know. Just fill up at shell.

Too bad your just a little late for the vitamin water deal. They had to be purchased in December. I have a stack of vouchers but may very well end up using them.

You definately picked all the big $$$$ areas, I would be searching too. I think king soopers sells Vail multi-day at a discount.

Powder Mtn. was $44

Powder Mtn. was $44

we did a trip to Utah 2 winters ago. lift tix were definetly less expensive. powder mtn was an awesome place, except for the speeding ticket i got going up the access road.

When we went, we used that 3 or 4 day pass - covered Keystone, Breck & ABasin. We never made it up to ABasin, just skied two days each at the other two. But it was definitely cheaper using that pass.

We were also told to check the supermarkets as they typically carried discount vouchers.

Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, UFOs, and discount tickets to Steamboat. 4 things you just ain't gonna find.

how many days are you going for? sometimes its cheaper to buy the seasons pass with ALL of the black out dates.

Excellent point. I think Trekchick does this for A-basin.
