The Skiing Season Pass Conundrum

One of the problems with skiing is the cost. A day’s ski pass can easily cost $60-$70, but an offpeak season pass can often be bought for about 5 days’ skiing, one of life’s great bargains. Of course only a bargain if you can ski for more than 5 days at one resort in a season, and not including weekends !
An alternative is to buy discount tickets. Most big supermarket chains in the USA sell tickets or vouchers at a discount. For example in New York State Pricehopper sell a voucher good for 3 days skiing at many resorts for $139, as good as getting one day free. Safeway in the west of the USA do similar schemes. Sporting goods shops similarly do better prices than the resorts. Also, flyers found in tourist areas and hotels often contain cheaper tickets or buy one get one free offers. Before you go skiing, always google the resort and deals. Booking on this site with these tips can make skiing affordable!
