snowbird pass is 469 for just chairs and 599 for chairs and tram. 
alta is 599.
(those are the college deals)
the alta bird pass imo is a bit excessive but would be sick, and that costs 1350.

You can do the ski instructor class at the U for a $99 pass, but when I did it I figured out how much money/hour you actually save and it was like $6/hour, so you'd be better off just getting a decent part time job and working long enough to pay off a pass. And that isn't even considering the tuition for the class.

But if you don't have a job and don't want to find one it is a pretty fun time.

why not just buy them seperate then? it would be 1200 for both, is there any advantage to an altabird pass?

If you're going to be a student at the U join One Love they can hook you up with a deal for a snowbird pass but like said above there is a class you can take that you can get a $99 season pass for alta. Im gonna hit that class up for sure next fall.

what's the difference with a tram pass at snowbird?
i have a chairs season pass right now and they still let me go on the tram.

kinda confusing

If you don't go to school and are under 26, Alta is $1000 and the Bird is $500 without the tram. You don't need the tram.

don't NEED the tram but for midseason days when the bird is pretty empty it is pretty money to just lap all day.
