Not sure about Brighton and the Canyons, but Snowbird will sell in increments of 10 pre-season, which gets the price down to $51 for a tram pass.  I know this ties you to one area though.  Local ski shops (one at the base of the canyon up to Brighton -behind the famous 7-11) and REI sell tickets at a discount, but not sure how much.  Good luck.

i believe the ski shop you speak of is called "the lift house" i could be wrong..

but yes you cant really miss it, right behind the 7-11

another shop ive bought discount tickets is canyon sports, and even check your hotels desk and see what price they will give you. shop around a bit and you can really save some money.

if you skied snowbird i think the SLC super pass is a pretty decent rate compared to what snowbirds tickets are.

hotels aren't really that expensive if you are splitting them between a few people, and there are tons with good deals in slc because it is a vacation destination town.

another option is this slc hostel

the ski shop next to the seven eleven is the lift house, but it is impractical to go there for canyons tickets unless you get them the day before. you pass it on your way to brighton though, so it would work well for that.

canyons sports, rei, etc.. all offer discounts.

check ski utah's website for more ticket pricing info.

searchbar or go to the utah regionals for more detailed info including bus or car rental, etc... there are a ton of these threads

Cheapest place to stay if you are staying in week long increments is Intown Suites in Midvale.
Its located 2 blocks from UTA bus stop which will take you to Snowbird, Alta, Brighton or Solitude in under an hr. I stayed there for an entire winter and went on a trip for a week once. It's sketchy as hell, but cheap!!!
Here is a link to it. For lift tickets look for the Ski Utah Super Pass

pay me and you can stay on my couch. I go to PC often, not really canyons. and brighton instead of the bird. Canyons sports and Jan's has cheap tickets up in PC. Lift house before LCC has the cheapest I heard. Never been though

the superpass is a decent deal.  Its $56/day and also includes uta service to the resorts and the rail system.
