Im movin to boulder jan 4th, and I need to save some money on lift tickets before then up here in the east coast. Is there anyway to get cheap ass lift tickets? Do any mtns let you show a college ID for a discount?

I know theres the MEticket thing, but i dont wanna drop loot on that

If anyone knows a way, holler.. thanks

used craigslist to buy vouchers from people quite a bit, usually can get about half off. seems to work best for early and late season

If you are still in college you can get really cheap passes in VT. You would need a letter from your school verifying enrollment though.

There is a gas station in mt snow that sells 3 passes for 40 each I think. Also you could just do some clipping.....not really that big a deal, especially out east where no one else really does it.

befriend mountain employees, most of them get discounts on tickets.  I got day passes for friends for $35 on weekends and i think $20 on weekdays.

the smuggs t bar is free because no one checks it. you can ski their shitty park or cut across through the woods to their small park which is pretty fun but equally as shitty

hit me up for a unlimited pass to Mount Snow, Attitash, Crotched, Big Boulder, and Jack Frost for $275. I'm a rep, so i get them that cheap (if youre a student). pays for itself in like 4 weekend visits, with the best parks in the north east, u cant beat it!
