Poster: A snowHead
|
We are off to Keystone this week(staying at Dillon) and intend to spend most of the time in Keystone but hope to visit vail and/or beaver creek. We will be there for about 7-8 days sking.
I know with the lift tickets you get various amounts of days at vail or beaver creek, but which is the best way to buy them.
It is cheaper on line of course, but can you get them even cheaper when you get there at the grocery stores. I seem to remember the last time I was in Keystone that this was the case but I may be wrong and it was Copper Mountain.
Also, my daughter has heard that there are free cookies and chocolate at the base in Beaver Creek. Is that right.
I have heard there are free ski guides. Is that right?
Regards

Not sure if they will be cheaper than on-line, but they will certainly be cheaper than buying at the ticket window.

Was true the last time I was there - and the cookies were lovely. (I also managed to get a few free postcards, but it was late in the season)

I think most of the resorts offer free mountain guides - some will just be hanging around at the tops of lifts giving you advice, others may be available for 1-2 hour tours of the place.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

You could also look into pre-buying lift tickets through a UK tour operator such as Ski Independence (you don't have to have booked your holiday with them). They certainly have much better deals than the "window price".

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

There are places in Silverthorne, City Market, The Grind etc & in Frisco: Pioneer Sports where you can get cheaper tickets.
Yes they do have free hot choc & cookies in the beave but make sure you are there early as I have never made it in time. I think it's around 3ish
Escalators are slightly strange in ski boots the first time, so be careful
