Cheap Lift Tickets

So today's Monday morning and it's been a little bit of a hiatus from regular posting because I've been out and about and generally tired when I come home to post.  But today's post is all about how you can get outdoors, head to the mountains and enjoy your day there, all while saving a nice chunk of change.
People who frequent Sunshine know there are things like the Sunshine Marmot Card (SMC) that gives you a discount and then free days after a certain amount of trips.  But for those that like to hop between mountains or don't always make it out super often what do you do?

If you have a Costco membership, you can actually go and get your ski tickets there.  They're usually quite a bit cheaper than you would normally pay.  For example at Sunshine, if you don't have a pass or a SMC, you get to wait in a very long line, fork over 80 dollars and then go wait in line.  Costco on the other hand will sell you three tickets for 180 bucks, and you even get the tickets so all you have to do is zip tie your ticket on, and hop on the gondola on the way up. So if you have a costco membership, go and check out which hills they have, and if they have the ones you go to, you're in luck.  Buy a pack, save money and happy skiing
