Colorado Pass discounted tickets (through Feb 15)

Written By: Devin Reams

2010 Update: The latest ski with a friend ticket prices are posted online at snow.com.

I spoke with a customer service representative at Vail Resorts today and was able to gather the following discounted ticket pricing (they’re called “Ski-With-A-Friend”, and each Colorado Pass holder can purchase up to 6 of these tickets).

Prices through February 15, 2008

The prices will go up slightly after 2/15 but the resorts won’t say how much yet. For more details call 888-215-3867.

Bonus: Found on the Colorado Pass bonus page, a little known fact: if you renewed your pass before May 31, 2007 (never known to me!) you are entitled to FOUR UNRESTRICTED $45 TICKETS valid all season at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin.

  1. My take on the ticket prices:

    If you can splurge, do it and hit Vail. If you are conserving, hit up A-Basin. The new Montezuma Bowl is just so much fun. I’ve been exploring back there and what I’ve really enjoyed is all the open space. Also, I’ve found that the front side is better than ever. There is just so much terrain and when the East Wall opens…forget it. The lot will be packed, actually the overflow lot will be packed and it will still feel like you have the mountain to yourself.

    For those who say the lift lines are still too long…all I have to say is start challenging yourself more. Read the crowds. Ski away from them. Don’t worry about the terrain, you’ll get down. The more you challenge yourself, the better you will ski or ride.

    This is my blog of the day posted in your comments section. Thanks again for your support.

  2. Great points. My first experience with Montezuma was so-so (it never got above negative 5 that day) but I think you’re right: challenging yourself is what will keep you away from the crowds.

    Let’s just hope this snow keeps consistently falling.

  3. [...] After contacting customer service I’ve posted the discounted prices that apply through February 15, [...]

  4. I just called and pricing up until 3/9 is
    $75 for Vail/Beaver Creek
    $59 for Keystone/Breck
    $49 for A-Basin

    3/9 to 3/22 is a higher (i.e. more expensive) tier is what the lady said. I didn’t ask for those prices.

  5. Vail Resorts came out with a press release yesterday about their new ‘Epic Pass’. It is an unrestricted (no blackout dates), and unlimited (go as many times as you want) to Vail, Beaver Creek, Keystone, Breck and Heavenly for $579 for adults and $279 for kids. It is available until November 15th.
    This is probably going to be the best ski deal of the year. Check it out:

There are a ton of parties, events, and concerts coming to Denver this week as the snowsports industry descends on Denver, Colorado. The 2010 SIA Snow Show trade expo will be taking over downtown. Even if you’re not attending the show, you should be downtown this week as there will be plenty of fun to be had. Check out the Apres Ski website for the comprehensive list of events: http://www.denver.org/apresski/home.aspx

I’ll be downtown all week at various parties and events. If you’re around and would like to meet up, feel free to follow Colorado Snow on twitter or send an email to devin@cosnow.com.

Here we are half-way through January 2010 and most of Colorado’s most popular resorts are at 20-30″ bases. Most resorts don’t have enough snow to open up expert (non-man-made snow) terrain such as the Montezuma Bowl at Arapahoe Basin. So, it’s with even one or two inches that we get excited. It’s not much to get excited for, but it’s something. Given the state of things, every little bit helps. Joel Gratz has more information on the wave of storms moving through Colorado this week. Expect some good snow by this weekend!

Congratulations to Lindsey Vonn, alpine ski racer, U.S. Ski Team member, and Vail celebrity. The Colorado Sports Hall of Fame named her the 2009 Athlete of the Year. This year she re-claimed the overall World Cup champion title and became the first American woman to win the world Super-G title. You can follow Lindsey on her blog at lindseyvonn.com, and is active on twitter at @lindseyvonn.

If you hadn’t heard, Arapahoe Basin is losing it’s “hard core” exterior and becoming “resortized” by Vail Resorts. With the parking upgrades and Montezuma Bowl lift, it’s hard to argue the resort isn’t trying to stay competitive with the major resorts. So, this summer A-Basin will be adding a high-speed quad lift to replace Exhibition at the bottom of the mountain. Suggestions for the name of the lift are being accepted at alanh@a-basin.net with the winner reciving a 2010-11 Arapahoe Basin Season Pass or $300 gift certificate to Arapahoe Sports. (via DenverPost)

It’s going to be a busy weekend January 28 – January 31, not only with the SIA Snow Show be in Denver, but the Winter X Games will be in Aspen. Winter X Games 14 will be broadcast on ESPN and online coverage can be found on their Snowboarding blog and Freeskiing blog.

If you’re a Vail Resorts season pass holder (Summit Pass, Colorado Pass, Epic Pass), keep in mind you have 6 “Ski With A Friend” passes to use this season. This entitles you to discounted lift tickets at the window. We recently visited Beaver Creek where a $97 adult ticket became $65 with the discount. For pricing details (as it varies during the season) visit snow.com or call 888-215-3867.

Updated: As Nicole pointed out, ‘buddy passes’ are different than ‘ski with a friend’ passes and prices are posted online. Thanks!
