Shopping Tips for Minnesota Lift Tickets
If you really want a great deal on lift tickets, you’ve got to plan ahead. It’s like any other vacation. If you wait until the last minute to book things, you’re going to pay higher prices. Try to buy online to get the best deals possible; anything you can book more than a week in advance will usually get the best prices.
Unless you are absolutely stuck for lift tickets, don’t buy them at the resort window. When you’re itching to hit the slopes, this is the last place you have to buy a lift ticket and the ski areas price them accordingly. This means that the window has the highest prices that you can pay. With just a little planning, you can take advantage of discounts and avoid paying that full window price.
