How To Find Cheap Skiing Lift Tickets

Skiing has gotten so expensive and for those that live in ski mountain states, cheap skiing is almost impossible to find. Most locals that plan to ski more than a week will find season passes are the best way to go but for the rest of us finding discounted lift tickets can save hundreds of dollars over a few days.

If you are planning a ski or snowboard trip this winter, it pays to do your homework. Most Colorado ski areas are getting loads of snow this winter so start planning your ski trip now to get the best deals.

There are ways to find good deals on lift tickets and lodging if you know where to look. If you plan to be in the Denver area before you go skiing, there are some insider tips to getting a good lift ticket price.

The first thing you should consider is when you plan to ski. Discounts vary greatly depending on when you want to ski. If you’re flexible and can ski during the week, you will find better deals. If you go during off peak times like after the Christmas holidays and not on a holiday weekend, prices are generally lower. Early season from opening day to Christmas and early January after New Years day, lift tickets are less expensive.

The next thing to consider is what ski resort you decide to visit. Many lesser know ski areas will offer cheaper skiing deals that some of the larger resorts like Vail and Beaver Creek which have edged up quite a bit this season. If you are looking for the best deals, head to Durango Mountain Resort, Monarch Ski Area, Ski Cooper, or even Winter Park where you can usually find a good deal.

Here are my top picks for getting the best deals on lift tickets in Colorado:

• Check on Ebay
• Buy a Denver area Entertainment Book-full of discount coupons
• Buy a Colorado Gems Card-lots of lift ticket discounts for only $10.00
• Check with your lodging provider-oftentimes they can get better deals on lift tickets
• Groupon-I noticed there was a discount offered at one time for Keystone lift tickets
• Liftopia-website that sells cheap lift tickets for ski areas all over the country

There are so many places to ski in Colorado and most all of them are getting great snow this year. Lift tickets don’t have to cost a fortune and if you do a little research you can find some good deals.
