You had to see this coming.
Window lift ticket prices have been inching toward the $100 mark for years, and we just got word that posh southwestern Colorado resort Telluride has set the bar for this year. There's a gamesmanship that goes on with these prices - one resort announces their window price, and then others announce theirs a little higher. For rich tourists and trust-funders, there must be a sense of satisfaction at skiing the most expensive mountain in Colorado.
From the AP:
Could Telluride Ski Resort have the priciest Colorado lift ticket this season?
The resort’s website says it plans to sell peak season, single-day adult lift tickets for $98 at the window this winter.
That equals the top price at Vail and Beaver Creek last season. Those resorts haven’t said what peak prices will be this season. Aspen’s peak last season was $96.
Tickets are generally cheaper when bought in advance, for multiple days, or in non-peak times like the early or late season.
