        Hi Guys,

        I am finding the ski lift ticket booking confusing. I was thinking about spending Sunday 13th and Thursday 17th on he slopes but it seems that there is no option before the 15th!

        This is what I'm looking at http://www.vail.com/plan-your-trip/lift-tickets/lift-tickets-explorer.aspx

        Mike

        EDIT: Ah! I see the problem ..... to get discount rate one needs to book 7 days in advance. Looks like a chopper drop then πŸ˜„

          My wife booked a day late and didn't get tickets for Monday as she wanted. She got Tuesday instead. She told me she would be able to get tickets once we get there, though. Did you get my last e-mail?

            Vail's Ticket prices are absurd! I get my whole family season passes to Squaw Valley and Alpine for around $1300. I think I will spend the same next week for 3 days of skiing.....O'well.

              I shopped around for discounts but not worth the hassle for the small discounts available. The Vail slopes had better be good as they are among the most expensive I have ever come across.

                  Yeah, I looked into year passes when we moved out here this last summer....and Wow Vail is quite a bit more expensive than almost every other resort.

                            Just checked your link Mike: $170/day! Kinda bonkers pricing - and I've been dragging helmets etc round the US for the last 2 weeks. 😞

                                  It's probably too late now, but I would have thought a company as big as Trimble could have organised some sort of corporate discount for ski passes as a perk for basecampers.

                                          Packed all the stuff tonight. Will be at the Cascade Saturday afternoon. Hitting the slopes on Sunday. I imagine there is a bar we can meet up for those arriving early to maybe coordinate a few runs together on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing you all there.
