I don't know about that particular deal, but sometimes there are discount lift tickets at the grocery store King Sooper, which is right off I-70 between Denver and Breck.

I think you're gonna be out of luck. Might score for one or two days, but when we've been there on holidays, they are definitely not giving any quarter. But King Soopers--or maybe Gart Brothers (it isn't that any more, but the ski/sport shop next to King Soopers at Dillon shopping center--Silverthorne).
Have you googled for discounts?

The four-pack is no longer for sale. I think their final sale date was Sunday, 11/22.

Go to the pass site and see if anything works for you:

But most deals are not offered during the holidays. That's high season.

Most everything is blacked out during that time period. Even our season passes are excluded during that time. But then most local just leave it for the tourists. You might check with your lodging to see if they have any arrangements.

No, our season passes are NOT blacked out during that time. They are good for unlimited skiing/riding, no blackout dates. Our ten Vail days have blackout dates, but that's because we did not buy the Epic Pass.

Cml1fl,
The stores in the resorts do not sell the discounted lift tickets. As suggested, you have to buy them before you reach the resort, such as in Denver or along the Interstate. Normally the tickets from these sources allow you to buy single days for the price normally paid per day on a multi-day ticket. Not sure about the availability of these for the holiday period. We have never skied between Christmas and New Years.

People who own a season pass have several discounted single day "friends & family" tickets attached to their season pass.

If you know (or befriend) someone with a season pass, you can ask to purchase one of their "friends & family" tickets.

Check with the Colorado Tourism Board. They just did a promotion where someone won 3 months free trip to Colorado. I bet they might be able to give you a tip or suggestion.
