Airline Ski discounts?

[Twotter76]

Hey everyone I remember hearing that certain ski areas will give an airline discount all season long - does anyone happen to know which areas extend us this offer? Specifically in CO? Thanks.

Vail and Beaver Creek.

I called them (Vail anyway) after I posted this and they don't seem to know anything about it for this season...

I bought my lift tickets at the Vail ticket counter. Ask for the "travel industry discount". Worked for me when I showed my airline ID. Don't make a big deal out of being a pilot. The discount is for the travel industry.

I just called BC and they are indeed offering the discount so I suppose that Vail is as well, I suppose they just didn't get the memo. $57 ticket they tell me - certainly cheaper than the published $77 rate but still pricey, but then again where isn't these days?

Yep, that sounds about right.

If you REALLY want cheap (as in FREE), try this...

The only catches are 1) you have to fly in the same day you are going to ski, and 2) you have to jumpseat on an airline that will give you a boarding pass.

Any idea if Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, Alaska gives airline discounts? I've never even bothered asking so wouldn't know.

I think Keystone has some sort of a discount that is in place and the lift ticket will also allow you to ski Breckenridge. Nice powder and the outback at Keystone offers some pretty nice runs. Aspen and Keystone are probably the two that I try to frequent the most. Durango also offers some pretty decent skiing.

Anyone know of any contact information to the operators that set up the heli-skiing in CO?. I plan on doing this at Whistler in jan but also would like to give it a go in CO and thus far I have been unable to locate any information.
