Solid as a rock. I've used it several times over the past two years to buy tickets, mostly at the last minute for myself, friends and family. I've probably purchased a dozen tix at this point.

I've used them for Ragged, Wildcat, Bretton Woods, Cranmore and others I can't recall.

Printout your receipt/ref nr. if at all possible, bring photo ID and appear at the customer service (or equivalent) will-call desk. They will have a printout with your name on it and hand you a ticket.

Just remember you need to buy them online at least 24 hours in advance, they are non-transferable and good only for the indicated date, so order carefully.

Stowe is a newcomer this year. I was already eye-ing tix for end of month for Stowe, but it looks like I can get them cheaper (someone with a Stowe Points card).

I've used them to complement my ski club advance purchase tickets, which while having deeper discounts, require commits in the summer and limit quantities. I've also used them to "get lucky" on a powder day. There is nothing more sweet than getting a discount on a powder day :)

I think it's an up and coming program that you'll be seeing a lot more about as resorts begin to manage their yields more aggressively.

looking like a 2 day consecutive tix is $135 (67.50/day) times 2 for the wife and I thats $270 for 2 adults 2 days skiing. I'll have to buy 2 more daily tix at $84/ea ($168 for both) so using liftopia and buying at stowe is $438 for 3 days skiing. Buying at 3 day at stowe for 2 adults is $464 a difference of $26.00 going thru liftopia...thats 4 beers.

Buy consecutive 2 day and one day from liftopia. total for 2: 408 vs, stowe 464 = $56 savings.

8 beers.

The biggest downside is no transfers or refunds.

I haven't noticed a 24 hour advance restriction. I've bought tickets the night before a day trip and had no problem, which would be about 14 or so hours in advance.

One thing I'm puzzled about is the lift ticket they give me always has "Liftopia" prominently displayed on it, as if it's different than one you'd buy for the normal price. But I've never been restricted by that in any way, so not sure why they do that.
