Winter Park Lift Tickets - Ski Ticket Discounts - What You Need to Know

Winter Park lift tickets are available throughout the state of Colorado. To find the best deals, it is often advisable to purchase your Winter Park lift tickets in advance prior to your arrival. Here are some tips for saving money on ski tickets for the Winter Park and Mary Jane Resort.

1) Reserve Winter Park Lift Tickets Online
When you purchase ski tickets via the internet, you save both time and money. Simply choose which dates you would like to ski and search for tickets online. Typically, there are several different price ranges depending on what season you will be skiing in. For example; preseason lasts from opening day through December 20th or so. Once Peak season hits at the end of December, rates for lift tickets tend to spike. January through February also provide a great time to save money on skiing and snowboarding. If you book online, you can often save on ski free / stay free packages. This means that if you purchase 3 days of lodging and 3 days of skiing many vendors will give you 1 free day of skiing in addition to a free night of lodging.

2) Ski Groups & Ski Clubs - Bigger is Better

The old adage "buy in bulk" rings true for Winter Park, Colorado vacation. If you come with a large group consisting of 20+ people, you can receive discounts on everything from lodging and lift tickets to activities and food. Bring your family for a reunion or have a Winter Park mountain wedding where the wedding party can enjoy a day of skiing and snowboarding. Either way, groups are an excellent way to save BIG on a vacation to this popular mountain town.

5) Buying Lift Tickets at the Resort

Scalping tickets at the resort sometimes works out but is not the preferred method for saving money on Winter Park lift tickets. However, many families buy multiple days for skiing only to realize their legs are too tired for another day on the slopes. If you are lucky enough, they will walk up to you and offer the tickets directly. Keep your eyes out, they are often found hanging around the ticket corner or in the parking lot. MAKE SURE you check that the dates are valid on the ticket. Again, this is not the preferred method for getting discount tickets but sometimes works.

3) Denver, Colorado – A Haven for Vail Ski Deals

If your family or friends are flying into Colorado via Denver International Airport or Colorado Springs Regional Airport you will inevitably pass 100's of opportunities for finding discount Winter Park lift tickets and Winter Park ski rentals. Stop off at one of the many sporting outlets and pick your skis up before heading to the mountains. Often times places like Breeze Ski Rentals, Christy Sports and even Gart Sports offer excellent rates on ski and snowboard rentals. Best of all, you'll avoid the crowds associated with long ticket sales lines.

Swing by these popular grocery stores and you will easily save between $5-10 on purchasing your lift tickets.

3) Gold C Coupons

Gold C Coupons are still floating around out there and provide an easy way to get great rates at the lift ticket window if you present the coupon within the valid dates.
