Dream on. At Vail they would charge you for the air you breathe if they
could!
The Colorado ticket from your rep is the best deal. Cheaper day tickets can
be bought from supermarkets/ski shops in Frisco. I remember getting 2 days
for the price of one skiing at Copper from Safeways, Frisco last year but
these change from time to time. I'm afraid you have to accept the fact that
US tickets are more than double the price of their European counterparts.

I'm headed out to Vail next March for 10 days boarding from the UK.

I'm looking at purchasing a lift passes before I go since the £-$
exchange rate is so good.
However last time I was in the US at Aspen I was able to get a cheaper
deal from my tour rep than either the price in my tour company brochure
or the online Aspen price.

Is the same likely to be the same in Vail, so I'm better waiting to get
the good deal off the rep, rather than purchaisng ahead of time.

Looking at these newsgroups, it doesnt seem that there's that many good
deals to be had in resort, which is a pity since the Vail prices are so
high

Anyone have any experience of getting better than the peaks 7 days
advance deals available online ?
