***********************
Seeing some discussion on another thread I thought it might be interesting to see the variation in prices for a weeks lift pass.
What price does your resort charge for a 6-day pass what price for kids/OAPs (and what ages) and any discounts offered for families.
Please - no smart answers like "I don't know because I always buy an annual one"  .
Kicking it off...
Alpes d'Huez (where I go in April) 6 days
€198.50 adult
€142.00 under 13/over 60
Free under 5/over 72
Discount of 50% for 4th and subsequent family members.

Last year Kopaonik, Serbia 6-day pass was approx
£80, adult
£61 over 65s
£53 kids up to 12
It's rumoured they will be dearer this year due to growing tourism and investment in lifts.

But booking tickets via ski independence Kids under 14 are free (max 1 per adult...)

Saalbach/Hinterglemm/Leogang, Austria
€186/€149/€93/free - adult, 15-18, under 15, under 5
On the other areas, note that you need to be comparing the same deals, so for example the Val d'Isere price of €182 quoted above is for December only, from 22/12 it goes up to €202, or you can get a restricted area pass for €192 with no access to Espace-Killy.
Also, all of the Austrian prices I've quoted are inclusive of 10% VAT, while the Val price I checked on didn't mention whether it was inclusive or not... and there's also an option to buy a pass with insurance cover, so it becomes €219.

yes, we must compare main season - I had already spotted the price for Val d'I was too low.
La Grave sounded too low - but it was the price given by Ifyouski
OK. I'll change Kopaonik to Euros.

unless you're on a seriously low budget, i cannot see that lift past prices are going to infleunce where you ski. It is more the prices of travel and accomadation that affect the price. When i look at different resorts i look at qeues, size, convienance and snow sureability.
Im sure as long as the prices all stay at a similar price, this will stay the same. Plus Espace Killy and 3V can charge what they like to a certain extent, because it is so popular.

Christopher, Some things do make a difference to me. Resorts that don't require the days of a pass to be consecutive are worth knowing about if you have several trips during a season.
The Espace Killy is pretty good IMHO in giving loyalty discounts and credits for days when all the lifts are closed.

Banff pricing slightly unfair comparison as it includes 90-120mins plus of door to door bus travel each day as well.

fatbob, so you have to pay more to go to a resort where they put the town in the wrong place? 
I have found it easier to get deals for cheaper lift tickets for US resorts than Canadian resorts - where the discounts seem to have been only available if you bought them with accommodation. Cannot get a cheap deal for Fernie this year, lots for JH...

I think if you are a family the price does make a difference because you are multiplying everything by the number of members in the family. A twofold difference in lift price is a significant cost. The other thing is that it is a quick way of assessing whether a resort as a whole is cheap. Certainly within a country as opposed to between countries I find there is reasonable correlation between the price of the lift pass and the price of ski lessons and to a lesser extent accommodation and food and drink prices.

yeah im a a part of a family of 4 and we're not the richest skiers. It's still not a infuencial factor.
I agree with you on judging the price of a resort.

compared to gastein which is 162? I'd say double the price is expensive, don't get me wrong ive been to Banff 4 times but compared to everywhere else a lift pass is bloody expensive!

Yep those damn hippies and their National Parks. Teton Village/JH is just outside Grand Teton NP IIRC? Fernie is very hard to get a good deal as a visitor - best break is a Louise card which gives 4th and 8th day free I think but strictly only for BC and AB residents (or those who know someone they can be posted to)

fatbob, yes the Louise card looks good value - but cannot get around the small print...
Actually if you stay in LL it is only a 5 minute bus ride each way and rather easier that the drive out to the hill at JH.
stevev, I think you have to book accommodation with them to get that deal?
