This post is dedicated to filling you in on the best deals in skiing and snowboarding this year.
As far as mountains go, everyone has his or her own preference, or loyalty as some may consider it. In Colorado, the options for season passes have made skiers and riders choose between the Vail resorts, also known as Keystone, Breckenridge, Arapahoe Basin, Vail and Beaver Creek, and the IntraWest resorts, which include Copper Mountain, Winter Park and Steamboat(new this year).
Loyalties aside, as a college student I have always made my decision based on cost. The mountains that offer me the best deal win my loyalty.
The two passes I'm primarily comparing are the Colorado Pass and the Super Pass. The Colorado Pass offers unlimited days at Keystone, Breckenridge and Arapahoe Basin, while the Super Pass offers unlimited days at Copper and Winter Park. In recent years, there has been a significant difference in cost between the two, but this year their adult passes are both offered for $399.
This would have caused me quite a problem if I didn't already know about the best deal in the west.
For years Wells Fargo Bank has offered 2-for-1 Super Pass vouchers when you open a College Combo Account. Although this offer is meant to bring in new customers, those of you that already have a Wells Fargo account, and somehow haven't heard of the voucher deal, need not fret.
You can obtain a voucher by adding a savings account, credit card, or by signing up for online banking. The only requirement is that you make use of four banking products.
To use the voucher, you must purchase your pass between Sept. 1 and Nov. 18. Passes can be purchased at Christy Sports anytime between those dates, or at the Passwagon, which will be making its way to Fort Collins this weekend.
This Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Passwagon will be parked outside of Outpost Sunsport. You will need your Wells Fargo voucher and student ID to get your season pass.
Happy pass-buying!
And just to get you pumped up, here's a sweet video from last season.
