This auction will last until August 20th, unless or until the ceiling is

Your bid will be acknowledged instantly via email.

Included in these dates, you will automatically receive group discounted
lift passes. Bidding not required. You need not bid on the above to obtain
these rates below so long as your travel dates are within our travel
timeframe.

These are group discounted rates within the timeframe of January 17 thru
February 15, 2004:

3 of 5 days $59/day $177
4 of 6 days $55/day $220
5 of 7 days $49/day $245

5+ $49/day thereafter

The compares to the regular lift ticket rate of $73-$74/day (not officially
released) and the Vail Resort PEAKS rate of $65/day. Definitely the 5 day
group pass is the better bargain.
