The Aspen Skiing Co. is holding the line on the prices of its two most popular ski passes and is resurrecting the two-days-per-week pass, which had been eliminated before last season, the company announced Monday.
The Premier Pass — which offers unrestricted access to all four Skico ski areas with no blackout dates — costs $1,099 for members of local chambers of commerce. The price is $1,499 for people who aren’t chamber members. Both prices are the same as last season.
In all cases, season passes are cheapest when purchased before the Sept. 24 “super early deadline.”
The Flex Pass, good for one day of skiing or riding per week, sells for $699 for chamber members and $819 for nonmembers if purchased before Sept. 24.
Even without a price increase, the Skico full-season pass remained the most expensive among Colorado resorts.
Telluride charges $1,298, but customers can knock that down to $998 per person when four people team to buy passes. Steamboat’s current price is $999, while Crested Butte is charging $949.
Vail Resorts, which is more vulnerable to competition for Front Range skiers, is charging $599 for an Epic Pass, which buys access to Vail Mountain, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin as well as Heavenly in California. The Aspen Times
