Going to Vail...anyone know of discounted lift tickets?

[benfranklin]

When I lived in Denver some years back, the best place for discount lift tickets was in the Denver area. The closer you get to the ski areas, the worse the discounts.

At that time, you could buy tickets at the big Denver ski shops (such as Garts), at major supermarkets (Safeway, King Sooper), and at some big chain gas stations. These tickets are generally good any day except major holidays, but are not refundable.

Many ski shops and motels/hotels around the ski areas sell discounted tickets, but the deals are not as good as in the city. Give Garts a call and ask.
