Ask CoSnow: when do Colorado Pass sales begin?

Categories: Recommendations, Tickets
Written By: Devin Reams

Q: Hi Colorado Snow: I will be a first time buyer of the Colorado Pass. Do you know exactly when the Colorado pass goes on sale on Labor Day weekend (8/28, 8/29)? I was planning to leave for Lake Powell on 8/29; however, if the pass is available only on the weekend, I may need to cancel the Lake Powell trip. Thank you in advance for your reply. Aloha, Susan

A: Hi Susan, the pass sales will begin on the Labor Day weekend and will continue (usually) into early November at a slew of locations across the metro area:

  • Colorado Ski and Golf: Aurora, Arvada, Littleton and Colorado Springs
  • Boulder Ski Deals: Boulder
  • REI: Denver Flagship, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Lakewood and Englewood
  • Breeze Ski Rentals: Lakewood, Dumont/Downieville
  • Orchard Town Center: Westminster
  • The Shops at Northfield Stapleton
  • Park Meadows Shopping Center: Dining Hall
  • FlatIron Crossing Mall: Food Court

There are also a number of special events where new passes can be purchased:

  • Welcome Freeriders: September 4 / 5:00pm at CU Boulder
  • Brew at the Zoo: September 5 / 6:30pm at the Denver Zoo
  • CSU Annual Snowrider Expo: September 17 / 9:00am in Fort Collins

No need to cancel the trip–the pass will be here when you get back! Thanks for the question.

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.

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!
