Before you go skiing, you will need a lift ticket. A lift ticket provides you with access to the mountain and to the ski lifts.

Lift ticket prices vary. You'll pay a premium for lift tickets on weekends and holidays. Discounted lift tickets are typically available for off-peak times - mid-week and early or late season. In addition, many resorts offer discounts for children, teens, and senior skiers.

Where to Get Ski Lift Tickets

Direct from the Ski Resort
Ski resorts often have lift tickets available for online purchase. You will find multi-day and mid-week specials so you can avoid paying full price for a lift ticket. In addition, resorts offer specials deals on lift tickets throughout the season, so check online before you purchase.

Ski resorts also have ticket windows, so you can purchase a lift ticket when you arrive at the ski resort. You'll find the ticket window at the base of the mountain, near the lifts.

Part of a Ski Package
When you're heading for a ski vacation some ski vacation packages include lift tickets. Ski and stay packages include a hotel room and free or discounted lift tickets.

Liftopia
You can buy lift tickets online from Liftopia and save up to 60%. Discounted lift tickets are available for many ski resorts and you can search for availability by date and location.
