ASPEN — The Aspen Skiing Co. raised its lift ticket prices to their highest level of the season at $99 on Saturday, while Vail and Beaver Creek broke the $100 barrier with their single-day, window price, information from the resorts shows.
The Aspen Skiing Co. ratcheted up its single-day, window price since the start of the season as more terrain became available. The $99 price will be the Skico's peak for the season, said Skico spokesman Jeff Hanle. The company charges a $5 refundable deposit for a radio frequency card needed to pass through chairlift gates.
Vail and Beaver Creek will be among the first, if not the first, to crack the $100 barrier. The website for Vail and Beaver Creek says that the window price for a single-day lift ticket will be $102 from Dec. 17 through Christmas Day. From Dec. 26 through Dec. 31, the ticket will climb to $108. From Jan. 1-14, it will be $102.
Breckenridge will charge a peak window rate of $104 during the holidays, while Keystone will charge $99. Both ski areas are owned by Vail Resorts.
