How to Save on Skiing & Snowboarding This Winter ?

Oct 25, 2017

There is one thing that We hear constantly from my non-skiing friends and family: “It’s just too expensive.” I get it. I’m biased—I see not skiing as a more costly endeavor to my health and overall happiness than forking over my hard-earned money for a lift ticket or a new pair of skis. But for those who haven’t gotten hooked on hitting the slopes, that very number you hear at the ticket window could be enough to say “No thanks.”


But what if there was a way to be thrifty with your ski vacation? To save before you even step foot on the slopes? Read on for the many ways you can get outside in the mountains this winter without breaking the bank.

Go small
If you’re just learning to ski, you don’t need to hit the biggest mountain possible. In fact, the smaller ski areas may ease the worry for your learning needs and your wallet, too. This way, you can decide if you want to keep skiing before venturing to bigger slopes.

 

Work it.
Did you know that when you work at a ski area, you can ski for free? Whether you check tickets on the weekend, teach ski school classes in the evenings under the lights, or find full-time seasonal or year-round employment, you’ll be able to enjoy all that the mountain has to offer with people as passionate as you are about the sport.

 

Choose a lodging package.

Planning to stay the night? Often, ski areas offer on-mountain lodging deals that include a lift ticket, so you don’t have to worry about standing at the ticket window or incurring a huge cost on top of your lodging for the night. If they don’t offer lodging packages, you can inquire about multi-day ticket rates too!

Get a season pass.

If you plan to ski more than a few times this year, a season pass truly is the way to go. And, with so many resorts joining a partner pass program, you won’t be limited to just one mountain. Again, the earlier you buy, the better your season pass price. And if you’re not concerned with being able to ski every single day, limited-use season passes are a great option.

 

Make some swaps.
Many towns and ski areas use ski and snowboard swaps as fundraisers for youth programs. You can unload old (but still safe) equipment and make some money back on an earlier gear investment, or you can pick up new-to-you gear at a discount.
