Replying to Discount Utah lift tickets / passes

I am driving to Utah in about a week and staying for a month or so. I wanna buy a season pass for snowbird or alta but they are close to a grand. Im gonna try to get a job at one or the other, but Im looking for a backup plan since luck is rarely on my side. Is there any discounts with grocery stores or anything anyone knows about. I've been scanning ebay and found some good deals. If anyone has any suggestions for any resorts would be appriciated. Any help is greatly appriciated.
