Headed to Vail in early Feb. Are there any angles on lift tickets? Vail is showing $512 for four daze (4 Feb - 7 Feb) and the property management that's renting me my condo is offering them at $471. Should I spring for those or can I do better?
You all should have a good time. I would get the tickets through the housing option for the best price.Whole crew seemed to want to do Vail this year -- first time for all 7 in my group and we've skied most of the other CO destinations other than the Aspen-area. Anyway, our condo in Vail was booked months ago so a shift-fire to a different destination isn't in the cards.
I'm thinking about Snowmass for a late March trip with my kids, but that's a discussion for another day.

Going to Aspen in the spring will cost you about the same.
Sadly 4 days at any major resort will be about $120/day. How much would a pass have been before the season started?

Aspen has more of a town, Vail's "town" feels more like Disney's version of what ski village is (or was at one point).Does Vail offer more for non skiing spouses than Aspen? Most of the press we see about celebs at Vail isn't photos of people skiing. It's photos of people strutting around town.

The full epic (at about $650) can be bought online between end of Aprilish - mid Novemberish. I think you can only buy the Local pass in person, but then you can renew it online for ever more. The local has 10 days at Vail/BC with blackout dates. The regular Epic is unlimited at all Vail resorts and NO blackout dates.Depending on dates, you could get away with the epic local which I think was $400 and something? If it's over Valentine's weekend, then you'd have to pony up for the full epic.
So, yeah, maybe not any better then, either.
