Vail Lift Ticket Prices
Vail, Colorado - Vail Resorts increased the daily price of its high-season, ski lift tickets to the Vail and Beaver Creek ski areas to a whopping $89 a day for a multi-day purchase – a new high for Colorado lift ticket prices. To date the highest ski lift ticket in the state was Aspen, at $82
Vail Resorts has not announced the price point for a single-day, walk-up ticket window purchase. Those prices are traditionally higher at ski resort areas (than multi-day tickets offered for advance sale) and speculation is that the price could approach $100
For a three-out-of-five-day lift ticket at Vail or Beaver Creek between Dec. 23 and Jan. 5, the price is $267, or $89 a day. For a seven-out-of-10-day lift ticket, the price is $623, or $89 a day.
Those prices are listed at the Vail website under the category of “PEAKS discount window rate. “PEAKS” is a program by Vail Resorts’ that is a free membership club and lets members buy tickets online before they arrive at the ski resort, and provides additional member benefits by awarding points, similar to a frequent flyer program.
Vail Resorts offers various ways to buy less expensive lift tickets, at least outside of the Christmas holiday season, and it encourages visitors to seek out lift and lodging packages, discount providers and savings coupons.
