Would you pay $700 to go skiing? One Colorado resort hopes you will with a lift pass promo that inCludes a pair of skis.
Sunlight Mountain near Glenwood Springs between Vail and Aspen, is known for some of the cheapest lift tickets in the state — with some as low as $5 a day — but they now have the state’s most expensive.
Sunlight “Sunny 700” lift ticket will be offered for $700 this season and includes one full day of skiing at the resort, as well as a pair of limited edition Sunlight 50th anniversary Meier skis and a ticket to the Iron Mountain Hot Springs. So that’s either a pair of skis with a free lift pass or a lift pass with a pair of free skis, depending on how you look at it.
Never heard of Sunlight? Well the resort features 680 acres of skiable terrain split between 20% beginner, 55% intermediate, 20% advanced and 5% expert including a 52 degree pitch trail known as ‘the Heathen’ – the steepest lift served run in Colorado.
Plus Sunlight has the longest beginner run, the Ute Trail (2.5 miles).
Don’t want to fork out $700 for a day’s skiing? Then grab a standard adult pass for $63 and child for $45.
