The 'Gold C Values' Book has lots of great discounts, such as $12.00 lift
tickets ($10.00 at Arapahoe Basin next door to Keystone). You can mail to
me if you want more info.
If you are coming in from out of state to ski in Colorado, you probably don't
know that some supermarket chains sell discount lift tickets. You can pick
them up in Denver (or Fort Collins, or Colorado Springs, or ... ) before you
head up to the mountains. Here are the two I know about:
King Soopers sells discounts to Keystone / A-Basin / North Peak;
Safeway sells discounts to Winter Park / Mary Jane.
