There are no discounts for that time period. New Year is peak season. They don't need to discount. The lines will be long and there will be a ton of people. Be prepared.

There are all kinds of discounts available, you just gotta look.

Albertsons, which is a local grocery store chain, had some good promotions for the last ski season. Not sure if they are doing it again. Better yet, there were no blackout dates. Other discounts are available for military folks. Some hotels and lodges offer discounts if you stay with them.

Remember that the resorts make quite a bit of income based on concessions, rentals, and schools. They can afford to give discounts, even during a peak time like the New Year holiday period.

Happy skiing. You'll love it there and know why it's called "Heavenly" !

Albertson's does have a $62 ticket promotion, but it says some tickets are not valid for this period. I guess it's best to call and check. I have yet to find a coupon that is valid for that period.

My last stay at the Lakeside Inn, they were offering $2 off and selling the tickets there. Might not be available during peak time though?

Thanks for the help. It looks like Peaks is the best way to go, but I will also check with Albertsons for discount passes.

According to:

skiheavenly.com/tickets_rentals/passes/alber…

There doesn't appear to be any blackout dates for discount lift tickets from Albertsons. The only blackout dates appear to be for Child Full-day Lesson Vouchers.

From the webpage the only mention of blackout dates is the following under the "Child Ski/Snowboard Lessons" section:

"Blackout Dates

Child Full-day Lesson Vouchers are not valid Friday, December 22, 2006 through Tuesday, January 2, 2007 and Saturday, February 17, 2007 through Sunday, February 25, 2007."

And the only restrictions:

"Restrictions

No cash value, non-refundable, not replaced if lost or stolen. Not valid for use toward any other product or with any other promotion. Unauthorized resale of the voucher voids the voucher and is a violation of the law. Voucher is valid through April 17, 2007 or the end of the 2006-07 ski season, whichever comes first. All prices subject to change."

sfbayguy -- did you notice that the restrictions and blackout dates have not been updated? That's last year's link.

www.slidingonthecheap.com always has the best & most updated lift ticket deals. I see the albertson's deal and a $25 package at zumiezs that gives you a 2-1 coupon with no black out dates...

Good luck with that, last year people were selling vouchers on Ebay and people (either uninformed or complete morons) were purchasing them at bids that were higher than the ticket window price.
