OK, OK, not as big bucks as you'd save if you DIDN'T ski/ride.
Although, maybe in the long run you save money because skiing/riding, even with equipment and lift ticket costs, is cheaper than medical care required by being inactive.
But I digress.
What I'm saying is: Gems Cards are on sale now!
If you haven't used them before, here's the deal:
The smaller ski areas known as Colorado's "gems" are, day by day, cheaper to visit than our larger resorts. The 2010-11 Gems Card from Colorado Ski Country USA makes your visits even more affordable. The $10 card (it was free until a couple years ago) gives you discounts throughout the season at 9 Colorado ski areas and 4 free lift tickets (limited to specific resorts and times).
Monarch gets some of the best snow in the state - and it's all natural. How can you go wrong?
Echo Mountain is all about terrain parks, if that's your vibe.
The other 7 ski areas where you'll get discounts with a Gems Card: Arapahoe Basin, Eldora Mountain Resort, Loveland Ski Area, Powderhorn Resort, Ski Cooper, SolVista Basin and Sunlight Mountain Resort.
The rest of the discounts are, like, $30 tickets or a free ticket with purchase of a discounted adult ticket or 2-for-1 lift tickets.
Check out all the details and sign up for your card here.
(You know that photo of a skier enjoying fresh powder at Monarch makes you eager for the first snow! But you can't have it yet. No! No! Just go ahead and get on your bike and ride and enjoy the here and now. Despite this teaser, live in the present!)
