 Poster: A snowHead
|
found this site on facebook page & thought I'd make everyone aware of how cheap it is to ski in Colorado USA.
Am from Australia & as no longer working, partly due to covid 19, we try to ski as much as possible on a very tight budget.
We've found after much research, that online is not the way to go.
Have discovered if you book a package of accommodation & lift tickets, that both components work out much cheaper.
Plus, there are ski specialists who get blocks of seats from the airlines at prices much lower than anything online. As a snow travel consultant told us, what you see online, is what is left after package tour operators get seats they require.
For example, just had an email saying au$999 return from Australian east coast to usa west coast in peak season, late December 2021 & early January 2022 departures. At this time of year, would expect to pay au$2000 or more.
Staying on snow in major Colorado resort, just down rd. from Vail, can get lift tickets for us$39 for an adult & 4 kids free per paying adult. To get this, must book an on snow apartment starting at us$162 a night, that can sleep up to 6 but in 4 beds. Spoke to operator & they said this apartment is small by u.s. standards, big by eu/australian standards & is 3 star, but is only 150m flat walk to lifts that take 6 or 8 people.
Many people seem to think, if they organise trip themselves it's cheaper, but we tried to do this exact trip ourselves online & it was much more expensive. All up about 50% more.

So you were lying in your OP by pretending to be a consumer when really you are a flight broker?

How can you be no longer working in your first post and a flight broker in your second? Wasn’t the smartest move to start your first post with a whopping great lie was it

People actually read through that gibberish by the OP?
I saw it coming in the title and didn’t bother. Until people start to reply to it... Eh oh! ️
Good job, folks, in helping to boost the visibility of spam rolling eyes

You saw it coming but still clicked in and decided to post a comment as well.

You know it makes sense.

But is it still cheaper than french-fries or crisps?
