PURCHASE EARLY AND SAVE MONEY
On average, you can save 30 percent on lift tickets by purchasing in advance through ski resort websites. And sometimes you can even save if you pre-purchase your lift ticket by midnight the night before!
The earlier you book the more you save
It's a given that lift ticket prices will increase as dates get closer, which means there are slim options these days for last minute deals. That compounded by better storm forecasting means demand based pricing more than in almost any other industry. Let's be honest, who doesn't want to score that perfect Utah powder day. And as more day tickets sell, demand is realized and the prices rises.
What does this mean for you? It means you should purchase your lift tickets as early as you can.
