Saving Money on Lift Tickets

NEVER pay full price. When it comes to lift tickets, that's my mantra. Of course, I've been working in the ski industry for over a decade, so I'm well aware I'm better equipped to never pay full price than others. As an ambassador of the sport, I enjoy sharing the tips and tricks I've learned over the years, because after all, the less y'all pay to ride, the more days you'll enjoy on snow and the more our sport will grow!

Paying full price is not only an egregious sin, but it can also lead to health problems in the form of sticker shock. Fortunately, finding steals and deals on lift tickets isn't as hard as some would like the general skiing and snowboarding public to believe. The myriad ways to save include season passes, mid-week tickets, ski and snowboard club memberships, frequent skier and rider cards, and early and late season deals, just to name a few. The full breakdown on each of these options can be found in my article, "How to Save Money and Snowboard for Less.", and a discussion on ways to save has been started in the Snowboarding Forums as well. If you've got a great way to save, stop into the forums and let us know!

No matter what route you choose when purchasing your lift tickets this season, do yourself a favor and remember - NEVER pay full price! You'll not only will you enjoy the satisfaction that comes from saving a buck, but you'll also get more time on snow this season. And that's NEVER a bad thing!
