Ski resort crewmember discounts
 

It's that time of year! Haven't seen a thread like this started, and it may be good use for someone trying to plan a ski trip (like myself)..

So does anyone know some of the resorts that offer airline employee discounts? I know Breckenridge does as long as you have something that says United on your badge.

Someone told me there's a place in CA you get 75% off on a lift ticket. Can't figure out where-totally forget what they told me. I'm looking to go somewhere end of the month but can't afford a $150 ticket lol

I got a discount at Telluride. Can't remember how much though

There is/was a resort in Utah that gives anyone with a boarding pass a free lift ticket for the day. Can't remember the name, of course. I'll ask around.

Edit: it used to be Park City but they are no longer running that promotion. Snowbird will give free lift tickets if you have an Alaska Airlines boarding pass though.

Look into joining NAASF. You get pretty good discounts on tickets and you can race for your airline if you want to. It's a pretty fun group of people.

was is decent, like under a hundo?

To be honest I can't remember. It was just before Christmas and only a 1/4 of the mountain was open. They give you like an ID badge and connect a credit card to it, so whenever you go back all you do is wear that badge and have them scan it at the lift.

Actually it was great. I hadn't skied in three years and was way out of ski shape. There was enough mountain for me

Headed to Park City in a few days.(which is now owned by Vail) Called there and they said that any properties owned by Vail (which is actually quite a few, you can find them all online) offers airline discounts for you and one guest. $64 per day and have to get it at the window. I believe he said you have to work at an airline that serves Denver and they have a list of airlines.

It's not specifically for crews, but I bought a weekday only ski pass to Timberline (on Mt. Hood) for $250 with early season pricing.

Anyone know if Crested Butte offers discounts with a crew badge?

I checked Breckinridge about three years ago and it was a flat fee of $100 for a lift ticket but I’m pretty sure weekends didn’t count. Had to show them crew ID or a non rev ticket. Not sure if they still have it though. Call before.

ID90 features some ski discounts.

I just went to Vail and their airline discount is $129 a day. Not a bargain but much better than their standard price of $209/day. Just showed the ID at the window.

Just 2 years ago it was $75 for airline at all Vail resorts. What the hell is going on? $209 for a day pass? Unfreaking real.

This thread shows the reason I quit skiing... I remember when $75 sounded outrageous. $209?!?

I’ll answer my own question. Called and asked, Crested Butte offers a discount for you and one buddy for $81 a day. Online prebuy normally $102 and at the window normally $120 a day. So not bad.

I called Breck. $125 for you and a buddy with ID

I’m heading to ASE in the next few days - $95 for you and a buddy.

Anyone know the updated pricing for this winter?

Check Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. Most ski resort employees get 8-12 free passes for friends and family(careful for blackout days) they usually sell them for half price. Find some locals when you get there and ask around.
