Needle/haystack or just impossible
 
Last winter we got a great deal in Park City area by finding condo which incl. ski tix. So far, looking in Aspen-zip, nada, nothing even close-anyone got a suggestion(other than skipping Aspen).

You will find few deals in Aspen. There is a world of difference between Aspen and Park City. Sometimes I have seen packages for Snowmass. Park City and Breckenridge would be more comparable as to city and mountains. Ajax Mt (Aspen) is far more difficult than the Park City ski area which is tame by comparison.

I just did a Google search for "ski free at ski resorts" and it looks like Keystone has a program

As well as Beaver Creek under Special Deals:

annelew: I honestly think you should re-post w/ a title that tells folks something (<i>anything</i>) about your question. You have received 3 answers in 6 days.

Instead of &quot;Needle/haystack or just impossible&quot; I'd try something like &quot;Know any condo/ski resorts w/ lift tickets included in the cost of accommodations?&quot;

janij, I don't think that will help. He got his answer. There are few deals at Aspen.

fmpden, thanks for trying-that &quot;Classic Pass&quot; would be perfect except we're nowhere near Col. until mid-Jan. ie:too late. Thnx for trying, By the way, how did U know it was &quot;Him&quot; and not her?

Aspen doesn't offer many deals during ski season. Try The Gant there. It's a nice condo hotel complex near downtown Aspen. We also used Frias Properties once, for a less expensive condo in downtown Aspen.

,,,how did U know it was &quot;Him&quot; and not her?,,,,

not perfect but the writing style and phrasing. Retired college prof who has read a lot of papers. OR lucky guess -- you pick.

I know you didn't want the suggestion about skipping Aspen. But, is there any reason you are stuck on Aspen? Snowmass is my favorite mountain BUT Beaver Creek is very close behind and it might offer you some other advantages. Just a thought.
