"The holiday season is upon us. This is the time of year when individuals and families plan their big trips to their favorite resorts. It is also the time of year we usually see resorts fully opening all available inbounds terrain. However, as we see irregular snowfall totals for some of the usual heavy-hitters, this year is different. While some legendary resorts are still waiting for their first major snowfall of the season, lift ticket prices aren't waiting for anything."
"Aspen may be a holiday and X-Games icon, but it is also skiing royalty-and that comes with a royal bill. At a base price of $279 for the holiday season, you're paying for a premier ski environment as much as the skiing itself. If the skiing does not meet your expectations, enjoy the gorgeous city of Aspen, world-renowned for its dining and shopping."
"Big Sky lives up to its name with spectacular views and expansive terrain, but does it also equal big prices? This holiday season, for a single-day lift ticket, you can expect to pay $279. As of writing this article, Big Sky has just 21 of 319 trails open, but with major storms approaching this week, that number is expected to rise quickly."
Holiday travel prompts individuals and families to plan trips to favorite ski resorts. Many resorts traditionally open all inbounds terrain for the season, but irregular snowfall this year limits available terrain at several major destinations. Lift ticket prices continue to rise despite limited terrain and idle lifts across much of the West. Several top resorts charge premium holiday rates, with Aspen and Big Sky listing $279 single-day tickets. Big Sky currently has only 21 of 319 trails open but expects more terrain after approaching storms. Multi-day passes are recommended to explore expansive terrain when it opens.
