lift tickets
 

are there any ways to get discounted lift tickets and rentals for the canyons/deer valley, etc.?

we'll be skiing for 4 days in march.

Have you checked the Entertainment Books, sold by schools and on-line? They can have twof-ers, but sometimes blackout holidays including spring break in March. It's worth a look. I know in Denver the newspaper agency sells an E-book, which include buy one/get one lift tickets for Copper and Winter Park. Maybe ask the local newspapers, too.

i just found discounted tickets ($50 each) on www.backcountry.com - is this for real?

Backcountry is a reputable business, if that is what you are asking. We have ordered through them several times and never had a problem.

If you have a membership, try Costco. I think I saw they had tickets to The Canyons on their website (and should carry them in the Utah stores).

is 50 dollars discounted??

when we were in deer valley there wre local specials ... in paper and around town, perhaps at supermarkets. i do not recall.
sometimes it is easier to get the tickets for deer valley cheaper closer to another resort as they try to lure people away. ( we got a 2x1 somehow once.)

why don't you call a hotel in park city and see what the ticket specials are this week.. or call the holiday inn express at airport and see if they have other pertinent info.

a lot of people i know just sleep at slt airport area and ski different hill everyday, depending on snow and what they feel like.

Yes, $50 bucks is a discount for Deer Valley. Regular tickets are $72. You can get discount tickets at several places:

Smith's grocery stores. There is one right in Kimball Junction.

Village Sports Den, on Foothill Dr. in SLC

some 7/11's

There used to be a 3 ski area multi-day pass that could save you some too. Check with one of the 3 to see if they still have it. The Canyons, Park City Mtn Resort and Deer Valley.

Have fun!
