The Colorado pass is unlimited at Keystone, Breck and the Basin plus you get 10 days at Vail or Beaver and is about 100$ cheaper depending on when you buy it. Having the pass will then allow you to buy discount tix for the rest of your family, plus you'll get emails about discounted lodging and food and what not.

Also, a month or so ago Skiing magazine had an article on 'recession proof' skiing, basically great deals around the country at different resorts.

Now someone get out to Tahoe and tell me how bottomless it is right now!
