Prices for single-day lift tickets at some mountain resorts are set to surge heading into the end-of-year holiday period, with two resorts charging more than $300.
Between Saturday, Dec. 21, through Sunday, Jan. 5, a one-day, adult lift ticket at Vail Mountain will cost $329. Tickets purchased in advance will cost $313 through Dec. 25 and $295 through Jan. 5.
Same-day prices are identical at neighboring Beaver Creek, with advance tickets costing $312 through Dec. 25 and $295 through Jan. 5.
The two resorts maintain the highest-priced, single-day lift tickets of any ski area in the state, eclipsing prices last December when same-day lift tickets reached $299 at both mountains over the holiday period.
