Buy Lift Tickets in Advance

Purchasing lift tickets online at least 3 days prior to your first day of skiing is often the best option.  This saves you a considerable amount of money off the window walk up rate and allows you to ski the ticket window line.

However, so long as Epic Passes are still available, this is more cost effective.

Multi-Day Ski Passes

Visitors planning to ski multiple days may benefit from purchasing multi-day passes.
