I am moving to Kansas (sigh) so CO will be my nearest (10 hours to Summit County) resort area. However, I will be quite poor when there. How do I stay there and ski there fore cheap? If you live in Summit CO or ski there regularly drop some ideas about deals and other helpful information. Thanks!

dont stay in town, get a bud who has a pass there (if you have one) then your lift tickets will be half off until you get a pass

Free lift tickets at Crested Butte until December 15th, and you can stay at the Hostel for like 20-30 bucks a night.

Also, I should mention I am married. Sleeping in a car or bumming like I used to doesn't work so well with the wife, hence why I need to find cheap that is still decent. Thanks fellas.

as long as you dont need slopeside accommodations, you can find relatively inexpensive hotels in silverthorne, frisco, fraser and even winter park.
