Tahoe Ski Resort Ticket Prices - 2005-2006 Season
I've analyzed the ticket prices for most of the Lake Tahoe ski
resorts for the 2005-2006 season using information posted on the various resort web pages. A few observations and opinions on these: =B7 The pricing is all over the map, and in many cases is shocking and dismaying. =B7 There doesn't seem to be a standard anymore for definitions of age groups for pricing. =B7 The prices for the various age groups vary tremendously: o Adult all day - $35 to $70 o Senior (various definitions of age limits, but mostly 69 or younger) - $15 to $56 o Super Senior (various definitions of age group from 70+ to 75+ to not at all) - Free to $56 o Two of my favorite areas, Squaw and Mt. Rose, have raised the Super Senior age from 70 to 75. I'm considering boycotting these resorts for this. =B7 Heavenly Valley and it's owner, Vail Ski Corporation, doesn't even recognize Super Senior anymore, and is charging a ridiculous $56 for Senior and an incredible price of $70 for Adults. Show your disgust with these prices by not going there anymore. =B7 For the major big areas: o Alpine still looks like the best deal for everybody, with Sugar Bowl coming in second. o If you're a Senior under 70, Mt. Rose is the best deal, with Squaw and Alpine tied for 2nd and 3rd. o If you're a Super Senior over 70, the best deals are Sugar Bowl, Alpine, and Northstar in that order. =B7 For the smaller areas: o Homewood and Diamond Peak look like the best deals for everyone. |
