So you’ve booked that dream Aspen vacation and can’t wait to hit the slopes. But you need lift tickets. Often times, the price of lift tickets can determine a lot about a vacation: How many days you stay, what mountains you ski - basically all of the huge aspects of your vacation. What are the secrets and how do you save money on Aspen lift tickets? This week, our blog team is here to help, and we’ll ready to give you the inside scoop on getting a cheap lift ticket deal for Aspen and Snowmass. Let’s have a closer look, with the help of our friends at Aspen/Snowmass.
BUY IN ADVANCE Purchasing your Aspen lift tickets in advance can save you big money. And you don’t have to book months out. We’re talking 7 days advance notice - just planning one week ahead can result in huge savings. It works like this: By booking 7-day adult advance lift tickets, you can save every additional day that you ski. For example, a Day 2 lift ticket (two days on the mountain) costs $218 - a savings of $20 off regular ticket price. Day 3 (three days) increases the savings to $30 - and you get three days for $327 instead of $357. Day 4 totals $396; Day 5 is $495; Day 6 comes in at a total of $594; and Day 7 is only $693 - $70 off ticket price! Let’s break that down further:
