Those $275 lift tickets for sure help sell Ski & Stay lodging deals. The ski corp still gets big bucks for the wholesale price from the hotel and the hotel's guest gets to ski "almost for free". You gotta love marketing....or NOT.
If they don't mind paying, I don't see any problem.Yesterday at Beaver Creek, I offered to let some friends use a couple of my Ski with a Friend lift ticket "discounts" which used to offer a nice savings. Now, 1 day was going for $242 ($33 0ff the $275 window price). They opted for a 3 day ticket which was over $800 each with taxes/fees, almost as much as I paid for a full Epic pass.

With Wall Street focusing on Epic Pass sales, they are really punishing those who don’t plan ahead.
I was even more surprised yesterday when I saw what the Ritz Carlton was asking for chips and guacamole at their outdoor grill slopeside in Bachelor Gultch. Care to guess?
I said $25. Guess I'm not greedy enough.I was even more surprised yesterday when I saw what the Ritz Carlton was asking for chips and guacamole at their outdoor grill slopeside in Bachelor Gultch. Care to guess?

Yep, I am always flying with points whenever possible.
Always trying to find out ways to cut the travel costs.
I'll give up skiing when they pry it out of my cold dead hands.
My cold dead broke hands.
But I will have lived, and lived well.
