Aspen area lift tickets
I am heading off to the Aspen area for a week long ski vacation in mid
march. Does anyone know of any cheap options for lift tickets? (Actually anything less than the trivial discount they offer on the aspen web site.) We have a couple beginners in our group who may only be skiing at Buttermilk. Are there any cheaper "Buttermilk only" lift tickets available? 15 years ago when I was in the Aspen area, Aspen Highlands lift tickets were cheaper than Aspen Mountain or Snowmass. This does not appear to be the case now. Does anyone know for sure? Jeff Timmons (Remove NOSPAM upon reply) |

This does not appear to be the case now. Does anyone know for sure? Aspen Highlands tickets use to be cheaper because Aspen Highlands was not, that time, owned by Aspen Mountain but was, in fact, by Harvard (having been donated to Harvard...) Of course, Aspen Highlands also ran with old equipment, old lifts and an old lodge. Aspen Mountain has since taken Harvard out of the ski business and updated every aspect of Aspen Highlands, including the price paid for lift tickets. Aspen Mountain has not been merely as aggressive in marketing their product in Denver. To my knowledge, there are no Front Range retail or discount outlets for Aspen. The best deal for Aspen skiing is a periodic $99 single day in Aspen skiing. For $99, you can fly to Aspen from Denver, be shuttled from airport to mountain, ski all day and fly back to Denver that night.... Jeff Timmons (Remove NOSPAM upon reply) |
