Lift Tickets
Where did all the lift ticket discounts go?
Many resorts now operate with flex pricing. Similar to airline tickets, prices fluctuate based on demand and snow conditions. Because of this, most resorts are unable to offer a discount as prices are constantly changing. SERP features deals as they become available, but our best advice is to buy your tickets in advance. Employees and their dependents can also join one of the subsidized group activities available from the Sandia Snowriders group.
