Winter is here and it is time to start thinking about season passes to ski resorts.  Although not all resorts have good sales regularly, many will be having Christmas deals, making the possibility of skiing both cheaper for you and giving the chance to give a pass as a gift to a family member or friend.

When purchasing a pass, try to calculate how many times you are really going to use it over the winter season.  At some ski resorts, a lift ticket is $55 and a season pass is $650.  If you don’t ski around 15 times, you won’t even make it close to bringing it below the lift ticket price, so unless you like to pay all at once, it isn’t worth it.

Also remember that location is key.  If you buy a lift ticket there, you are going to be skiing or snowboarding there a lot, so keep that in mind.  If you do decide to get a season pass and use it regularly, you can stand at the bottom of the run at the end of the season knowing you did well in making your purchase!
