Everyone knows that a ski vacation can get expensive. You need
lodging, lift tickets, transportation and probably also ski rentals and ski
lessons. Here are a few tips that can help you save money while still being able
to enjoy skiing.
1.
Plan early
The best deals are available if you book in
the summer. Planning early can save you up to 40% on lodging. Plus you still
have lots of options to choose from. You cannot only save on lodging though but
also on lift tickets. Rates on lift tickets go up the closer it gets to the
opening of the lifts.
We know plans can change but you are able to
make changes or cancel up to 30-45 days prior to your trip for only a small
fee.
2.
Book everything in advance
After you selected lodging and lift tickets,
start reserving ski rentals, transportation and ski school. If you book at
least 7 days in advance you can save money from doing everything on site – plus
no stress while you there. Everything is taken care of – time to enjoy your vacation.
3.
Travelling with kids – make
sure to ask us for free activities
Some resorts offer free lift tickets or
rentals for kids with the purchase of lift tickets/rentals for adults. If you
want to make use of this, ask us which resort offers free skiing or rentals for
kids.
There are also other free fun things to do
for kids, for example seeing a reindeer in Beaver Creek while getting free
cookies after skiing. Delicious!
4.
Cook a few family meals
If you are staying in a condo, why not make
use of the fully equipped kitchen and cook a few family meals. This way you can
save a lot of money since going out every day can get really expensive.
5.
Stay away from slopes and make
use of free shuttles
Ski in/out condos sound very appealing but can get pretty expensive.
Most resorts offer free ski shuttles, why not stay away from the slopes and
make use of them? The shuttles run frequently and are very convenient. Staying
away from the slopes can save lots of money!
Are there any other tips I haven’t listed that you think are worth
sharing?
