You can ski Castle Mountain’s steeps and then crash for near dirt cheap at the Castle Mountain Lodge and Hostel. You pay $20 per bed in a hostel room. You’ll have access to kitchen, common room with satellite TV/DVD, laundry facilities, and a sauna.

Those staying in the hostel midweek can get a $5 discount on an adult lift ticket. Weekend lift tickets aren’t discounted, but you can buy your ticket at the hostel to avoid standing in a morning ticket line. Guests must be over 18 years of age to stay at the hostel. Call 403-627-5121 or 888-627-5121 for reservations.
