A couple of years ago I bought tickets at a discount at a ski shop in Idaho
Springs on the way up. I don't remember the name but if you get off I-70
and go through town it's on the right, you can't miss it. They had a
computer terminal and sold lift tickets for a bunch of areas.

Dagnabbit! You just had to go and mention Idaho Springs, didn't ya?
Now I've got a hankerin' for some Mountain Pie pizza! See

Most discount shops between Denver and the resorts will some discount
lift tix (or at least, used to). It used to be that the farther you
were from the resort, the better the discount. As in, the King
Sooper's in Denver had better prices than the one in Frisco. It looks
like Vail Resorts has decided to either cut back or eliminate the
traditional discount tickets for their resorts. Anybody have any
current info?
