The ski lift ticket trap

Imagine the situation: You get to a ski area for which you don't have a ticket or a season pass. You park your car, put on your gear, get to the ticket window and get sticker shocked!

It's mid spring, good snow only last a few hours and the price you're asked to pay seems stratospheric. Yet, you're ready, your friend, kids or spouse are ready too, with their helmets and boots on, and now you have no other choice than pay through the nose!
I came to this realization earlier this week when we skied Alta. The ticket window price for that day was $104, but the internet price, a lower $88!

So next time you go skiing without a pass, make sure to get it on line at least the day before, and don't wait till you get to the resort...
