Tips for Saving Money on Lift Tickets
Purchasing your tickets in advance is the best way to save money. Lift ticket pricing and availability are date specific. Daily Lift Tickets for the 2025-2026 ski season vary depending on whether you buy your lift ticket before the season starts, during the peak season or at the end of the season. Other factors include age and the number of days you plan on skiing. Some ski resorts offer dynamic lift ticket pricing, which means the price changes depending on the time of year and how far in advance you buy the lift ticket.
Our tip: You can buy cheaper ski passes before the season begins and toward the end of the season, during what’s considered spring skiing. If the ski resort offers dynamic ski pass prices, it is worth buying a ski pass in advance.
We recommend checking out the resort’s special offers page for a variety of deals on lift tickets, lodging, retail, and more.
