Hi FTO friends,

What's my best strategy for obtaining reasonably-priced lift tickets this year at Alta for Mon-Thu, Jan 18-Jan 21? Snowbird is optional; I would go the AltaBird route if I have tour guide(s) who want to do that.

I will be staying at GMD and would enjoy meeting up with anyone for turns.

Several options:

Walk-up ticket window price: $89

1. Buy at a sports shop in the valley: $5 discount

2: Alta Copper Card: $71.20/day, tied to your credit card. The Copper Card costs $30

3: Pre-purchase day-specific tickets at: http://buy.alta.com/day-tickets
For your time period it would be an 18% saving, but you are committed to the date(s) you select.

Earlier in the season there was a 10-pack that is transferable and can be rolled over to next season, but those are no longer available. There is a transferable 10-pack available without roll-over privilege.

I'd go Liftopia. There really aren't any better deals locally.

Out of curiosity I just checked. An Alta 4 of 5 day ticket for that time period is available. It's an 18% discount, same as ordering from the Alta web site.

Not surprising, as I'm guessing that Liftopia powers their advance purchase products. However, if jkamien happened to access Liftopia via one of its advertisements on FTO like this link, while the price to jkamien would be the same, FTO would earn a commission on the sale to help defray its server expenses. :-D
 
I will follow that link when I buy. $66.25/day for the 4 days I'll be there. 24 days til I leave and counting!

Hope so, too! It'll be tough on a Monday-Thursday, but I'll give it my best.
