Discount Lift Tickets
The easiest way to save money on lift tickets? Purchase in advance. On average, guests save 30 percent on lift tickets (at most resorts) by purchasing them in advance through the resort website. Ski and board during the week — instead of weekends or holidays — to avoid crowds and get an even better price.
Multi-Mountain Passes
Skiing and snowboarding can get spendy. But that doesn’t have to keep you from enjoying your favorite sport. With various multi-mountain passes available in Utah, here are some options that will give you the best bang for your buck. Tip: Save even more on some passes when you purchase extra early — think spring.
