Stopped into the ticket/Pass office in SV. They didn't even know how expensive a walk-up ticket would be this center, but they thought it would be about $125/day and seniors at about $100.
OUCH!
OUCH!
If these price comparisons are based on ticket window pricing they are not what customers face in the real world. Almost all larger resorts now have have time and volume based pricing like airlines and other hotels. The most expensive lift ticket and room are the walk up ticket window price. Everything else is less. Some folks certainly can't plan ahead but those that can will save significantly and those who ski more than 14 days, or on off peak times, will save even more.Stopped into the ticket/Pass office in SV.

Copper's lift ticket price is way too high in the list. No way they are more than Breck. Epic pricing has made it impossible to get a cheap ticket to Vail's resorts. Copper's tickets are substantially lower, and in the past, they have had lots of discounts that you would never find at Vail's resorts.
I totally agree you can discounted Copper tickets several different ways but the walk up non discounted single day ticket can actually be more than $150 now depending on when you go.
Well it's not quite walk-up prices, but they also aren't counting any kind of pass or multi-day prices... here's what it says :
"The lift pass price is for a full day’s skiing for an adult on a typical Saturday this season, outside of peak periods. These prices were researched in fall 2018 and may include discounts that are offered to customers who buy in advance."
So it's the price of a single day ticket, for a Saturday, outside of peak times - i.e. non-holiday - but bought in advance. So almost walk-up price, but not quite.
