Ski your way to bargains: Finding affordable vacations across the country.
Posted by The Ski Utah Yeti on March 17, 2010
Good article on saving money on the slopes.
If you’re one of those skiers who pledged to give up the sport once lift tickets topped $40 a day, you probably haven’t skied in many years.
Yet there are some money-saving deals to be had that can make a ski vacation surprisingly affordable.
While Colorado offers some of the best skiing in the U.S., it’s also typically the most costly. Instead, consider Utah or Lake Tahoe, which offer incredible skiing and snowboarding at dozens of different resorts. Not only are the conditions equivalent to Colorado, but the prices are lower and the crowds are much smaller.
