When someone says “ski trip”, one of the first things that pop into your mind will be resort towns – with resort prices. However, it is possible to have your dream vacation in the mountains without breaking the bank! With just a few tips from Peak 1, you’ll have fun on the slopes without worry.
After seeing the mountains you’ll be visiting on your plane ride to Denver, figuring out transportation will be the last thing on your mind. Make sure to book a Peak 1 Express shuttle to Summit County or Vail Valley ahead of time for ease of travel. Our prices are the lowest while our quality is the highest. When cutting lodging costs, big name locations won’t have your wallet in mind. Consider renting a condo or staying in a hostel! One great example is the Bivvi Hostel in Breckenridge. With everything from shared rooms to suites and apartments, this high quality place including hot tubs and mountain transportation will fit any budget.
One of the easiest ways to save money is to buy in advance. If you pick up ski passes the day of, chances are you’ll spend much more than you need to, so make sure to buy online! One little known tip is that if you plan on hitting the mountain for more than a few days or want to go to multiple locations, buying a season pass can save you money. Gear rentals from resort owned shops will be more expensive than locally owned stores. While most smaller shops won’t be located at the base of the mountain, the savings on boots, skis, snowboards, helmets, and more will all be worth it. Don’t forget to pack a lunch to avoid long lines and high prices, and whenever possible, get a group together to get great group discounts on mountain activities and souvenirs.
Having the perfect winter vacation doesn’t have to be expensive! Make sure to do your research and book ahead of time to get the best savings. Take the first step to planning ahead and book your shuttle to the mountains with Peak 1 today.
