These are stupid prices - confirms me in feeling I'm not returning to the USA.

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

I recall thinking lift prices out there weren't terribly cheap back when you got $2 to a pound - must be eye watering these days ... wouldn't like to think I'd never return though!

Bones, Hmm. Espace Killy day lift pass €44,50 in main season - so about $62. Much the same, then - though why the Americans have a high published rate is beyond me. I guess Espace Killy gives you more area - but Vail tries to take out in-bounds avalanche risk - so making 'off-piste' safer.

Its all about bragging rights as the ultra premium resort in North America (and probably to deter the riff raff). Almost everyone who cares about the price will be on some package discount ticket with lodging etc. Essentially they don't want casual day trippers and would rather have people staying in town spending lots of cash.

Bones, could you give me a tip on where to bag the cheapest lift tickets ?

Frosty, We werent in Vail, but Utah 
Who have you booked your accommodation with, or have you gone DIY ?
Supermarkets and some ski shops around Frisco used to sell discounted tickets, but not sure if they still do. Vail may have the monopoly on them a bit like Aspen now.
The best way to go with Vail is to buy the Epic Pass early in the season which would have covered you for all the Vail resorts.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

2 years ago when in killington, Vermont, I was paying $78 for the day on a weekend. What a total joke! I certainly will never go back there, not just because of the price, there were other issues as well.

Bones, We went DIY and booked a house on the 4 o'clock run, I've heard about the discounted tickets in Supermarkets. The Breck web site says it has the best priced tickets by buying in advance but because of the jet lag and altitude its possible we may not ski the first full day so I'm reluctant to buy in advance and hopefully will pick up some cheapish tickets in the supermarket
. We are all very excited, meeting up with 9 other friends/familys now, the house is enourmous

You know it makes sense.

Some SH still doubt if the ski pass is really "steep" in USA.
