Replying to Cheap skiing in Colorado

First post in years. Will be in Denver late Feb and want to fulfil my teenage dream of skiing the big resorts Vale Breckenridge and others. It's my understanding that the epic pass allows you do ski different resorts each day but it's very pricey. The exchange rate in the UK isn't helping atm. Any advice on a cheap way to either ski some of the big resorts or any smaller resorts that are better value.

Sorry if this in the wrong forum or I'm breaking rules.

Hope this place is still as awesome as it used to be
