Any Discounts?
It’s always worth bearing in mind that there are some ways of getting your hand on ski passes for prices way cheaper than this, but it all depends on the type of trip you are taking.
For example, certain accommodation providers and most luxury resorts will include lift passes as part of the package you take. Likewise, if you are booking through a tour operator it’s worth asking if they have any special deals or can offer you a discount as a bonus. Chances are you won’t be getting a pass for free unless you’re spending a small fortune on your trip already, but like most things in life there’s certainly no harm in asking!
