So i might be heading out to colorado in february around the 11th, just trying to decide which resort. I went to winter park last year and the lift pass cost me £300 for 10 days. just wondering which mountains are not so expensive for lift passes, or if there are any deals i can get ?

ruby hill is free

there are also the Gems which are a bit cheaper than the mega resorts

really tho, bring as much money as you can and spend it all, we could use the economic boost

Just buy an EPIC pass for $599!!!

Unlimited, unrestricted access to Breck, Keystone, A Basin, Vail, the Beave and Heavenly in CA all season... there is no better deal in the world of skiing right now.... just Ski 6 days at Vail and it will of more then paid for itself!

Accomodation is the killer in Colorado once you're epic pass'd up....    but stay in Frisco or Dillon for cheaper, staying in Breck or any resort base itself is mega bucks...  check out the Snowshoe motel in Frisco - legit....

wolf creek and monarch are both very cheap. Both mountains are pretty nice, nothing really in terms of a park. But they get a TON of snow. Not too much in the way of lodging or nightlife. You can camp in the monarch parking lot for free.
So IMO if you are looking to ski colorado as cheap as you can this is the way to do it.
