Four of Utah’s best ski areas have teamed up to add value to their season ski passes. Alta, Snowbird, Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley announced this week that qualified season pass purchases at each resort will include shared lift privileges at the other participating resorts.
With the purchase of a season pass (qualifications vary between the four resorts) you will also receive access to ski the other three resorts three times each during the season. Limitations apply during peak holiday weeks. Considering an average lift ticket price of $94 between the four resorts, this is an $800 plus value that is being added to a season ski pass for the 2013/2014 ski season.
It is often hard to break away from your home resort where you have a pass as the idea of paying $100 to go to another resort is tough when you have a pass that is paid for already. And what a bonus for when friends from out of town are in and a season pass holder can go ski the resort next door or take a short trip up one of the other canyons to ski.
The announcement comes on the heels of Vail Resorts taking over operations at Canyons in Park City and making them part of the Epic pass which allows skiing privileges at all Vail Resorts on one season pass. The big difference for Deer Valley, Snowbird, Alta and Park City Mountain Resort is that these are all a short day-trip away.
Season pass sales at all Park City area resorts are on sale now with early season pricing specials in effect through mid-September. So buy now and start to make your ski season plans, winter is only a few months away!
Remember that Deer Valley and Alta are ski only mountains that do not allow snowboards.
