Hit the slopes for less: Discounted lift passes, gear are available if you plan ahead GlobeMoney
. Many are priced much lower in the spring and summer than in the winter. Passes Krawetz has bought long before the season, for example, have cost nearly $600 less than in winter.
Krawetz also recommends people use the skiing and snowboarding off-season to start saving because both sports require gear, paying to access hills or mountains and often involve travel and accommodations. If you want affordable access to skiing or snowboarding once the season rolls around, Krawetz recommends considering off-peak hours, which often come with discounts, or looking out for students, ladies or community nights, where she’s seen prices dip as low as $10.For example, Sun Peaks Resort, not far from Kamloops, B.C., hosts a High Five Day, where some food for the Kamloops Food Bank and a donation of at least $5 will get you on to the slopes.
To offset the expense of passes the lift tickets, Krawetz looks to used gear. She trawls online marketplaces Craigslist and Kijiji, Facebook groups and local stores for deals.
