either book a multi day to save money or a bunch of ski shops/gas stations/ probably even mcdonalds have discount coupons.

regardless, even if you are able to save a few bucks, it will still be pretty expensive. just a fair warning.

Even the military discounts are fucking expensive, and those are typically some of the cheapest.

You really don't save anything with the peaks account. Just points.

also this doesnt really apply to you, but if you plan a 4 or more day trip to breck, keystone, a-basin, vail and beaver creek(last two during certain times), and you plan it before the season starts, it is just cheaper to buy an epic local pass.

breck is $104 a day and vail is $109, an epic local pass before the season starts is $400. can save you some good money if you plan on even getting a long weekend in

Dude, Cali and CO are fucking outlandish with their daily ticket prices. Probably cheaper to fly from LA or Denver and do a week in SLC then to drive to one of these resorts and pay full price. I don't even think Steamboat gives a discount until you do 5+ days.

Then again, paying $70 for the wintry mix that is the EC is still rape-age. No offense to Stowe & Greek Peak, I miss ya both.
