I have been lookin lately for lift tickets to plan our vacation to Colorado.  Is there any place where you can buy discounted advanced lift tickets for resorts in the Denver area without spending $600 on the EPIC PASS.  We are only going to be there for 4 days and would like to ski a couple different mountains.   (Keystone,Vail, Breck, ect.)   (++++++KARMA 4 POSTING)

discounted advanced lift ticket. advanced being the key word i think. not sure you can get tickets like that unless you scalp some buy one get one shit on NS. gas stations in the area, some in denver sell discounted tickets but you have to be there to buy them.
the only thing i can think of is travel deals that include hotels and shit. but you just need tickets so i dont really know. sorry holmes

In park city they gave us discounts for showing them our boarding passes for the plane.
I'm not sure but I think they do the same thing at some of those resorts.

If you go up to anyone with a season pass they can get a you a 1 day buddy pass for that day which is usually about 50 bucks. So just hustle people and kick them a couple bucks, or make some friends that can hook it up.

I know that Copper, Winter park and Loveland all sell 4 packs. When you break it down it comes out to like $45 a ticket.

1) you can purchase discount lift tickets at King Soopers or Safeway.

2) as mentioned above, season pass holders have the opportunity to purchase 1 "buddy pass" per day. Last year the discount was $20 per ticket.

3) If you know someone in the air force, the commissary at the Colorado Springs Air Force base sells tickets for $40 to military personnel.
