ASPEN, Colo. — A one-day lift ticket to Aspen during peak ski season will cost you $87 at the window, up $5 from last season.
That walk-up price tops the $85 Vail charged last season for single-day tickets and gives Aspen the title of priciest lift ticket — at least for now.
Visitors who plan ahead and buy multi-day tickets can save.
For instance, Aspen Skiing Co. said today it would offer seven-day passes allowing holders unrestricted access to Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk throughout the season for $259 for adults or $199 for students. It must be purchased in person in Colorado at specific spots to be announced this fall. |

...a little note to add to that...
Last year only 10% of ticket sales were at the full window price.

If the Dollar was at its normal rate around $1.5 to £1 that would be around £60 a day

admin, there's a big difference between being from here and merely living here. Went to Aspen for a day once. It rained and it was full of Americans. Word of warning - the skiing is really naff there in July.

But it ain't. In any case, in my memory the $ has fluctuated between $2.40 and $1.03 to the £. So I am unclear what you mean by 'normal'.

Only twits buy American lift passes at list price without looking around. Contact Ski Independence and various others in a few months time and you will get a good deal. Last year saved 40% on window prices for JH. I haven't yet seen such deep discounts for European resorts.

You know it makes sense.

TomazH, you need top be careful, some of your stuff may now not be understood by a newbie, it may be considered an in-joke.

TomazH, either you are a sarcastic little troll, or an ex-frequent poster here who went off in a snit and has now returned looking to annoy people in a new way, or a ....
I suspect you are the second, but heh - whatever floats your boat.

stoatsbrother, So now I'm a boat-owning, little easyJet employee (great airline by the way), ex-frequent-posting troll, sock puppet friend of some bloke called David. You have issues my friend. Who are you exactly? The Godfather of Snot?
