Planning for Ski Trip out West

I have started planning for my annual ski trip out west and I came across this article from Powder magazine regarding the rising prices for one day lift tickets and the falling prices for annual passes. Over the past few years, I have bought season passes and saved a pretty good bit of money on my trips out west (a Monarch Pass a few years ago and the Mountain Collective pass last year). I saved a pretty good bit over buying one day or multiple day tickets at the resorts. I think I read where Vail will be over $150 bucks for a one day pass this year.

Interesting article.
with two kids on a ski race team I can vouch for how ridiculously expensive skiing has gotten over the years. In the article they refer to "working for the weekend"... so true.

i bought an epic local pass this year. I live in Nashville but if I get at least 5 days out west it's paid for.

I bought the epic local pass. Gonna ski Vail and Beaver Creek the week before Xmas and then Breck and Keystone between Xmas and New Years. I paid $569, so yeah, it saves a bunch on this just this one trip.

Porter if I finally make it to Western Montana this year will you give me a half-day tour? I'll bring skins but I will be slow.
